When the Joby GorillaPod arrived on scene, it redefined the idea of a tripod with its twisty legs that could grip any number of objects and surfaces. I’ve used some of Joby’s flexible tripods to take steady shots without hauling a giant tripod around, but I’ve never seen prices quite this low as a handful of the popular Joby flexible tripods drop to prices starting at about $10.

Joby is arguably most known for its GorillaPod and its sibling, the PodZilla. These unusual tripods take the short-legged tabletop tripod and turn the legs into flexible tubes that can wrap around objects. That allows creators to carry a tiny tripod yet shoot from taller heights by wrapping around objects like fence posts, trees, signposts, and more.

Job’s flexible tripods that are made for compact cameras and smartphones tend to run around $40-$60, but B&H’s Deal Zone has discounts as high as 90 percent off Joby right now, making it possible to pick up one of the popular flexible tripods for under $10.

I’ve used Gorillapods in the past, and they’re quite handy for stabilizing smaller cameras without the bulk of a traditional tripod. The under $10 PodZilla and under $15 Gorillapod deals are steep discounts – but, depending on what you shoot most, a content creator kit outfitted with lights and mic may be the better deal.

These deals are scheduled to last through February 12, 2026, but could end early if supply runs out.

The original GorillaPod is heavily discounted too at just under $15 with the tripod and ball head. The GorillaPod legs aren't as flexible as the PodZilla's – which isn't as good for wrapping around objects but is easier to use as a tabletop setup. The 1K model can hold cameras that weigh up to 2.2 pounds.

If you tend to vlog from a desktop rather than on-the-go, this kit is set up for just that. The Joby Beam Studio Creator set includes a desktop stand, a large LED light, a background light, mic, and a phone mount. The biggest downside is that those lights are USB powered, so it's not a portable setup.
