Joby Essential Vlogger Kit
Providing improved audio quality and the ability to get creative with camera angles, the Essential Vlogger Kit from JOBY includes the JOBY Wavo On-Camera Vlogging Microphone and the GorillaPod 1K. When vlogging with the Wavo attached to your camera, the supercardioid polar pattern offers directional focus for better vocal clarity. Completing the vlogging setup is the GorillaPod 1K, which supports extreme camera angles thanks to its three flexible legs that can wrap around and grip poles, fences, branches, and more. You can also straighten them for a traditional tripod setup, or even push them all together and go handheld.
JOBY GorillaPod 1K Flexible Mini-Tripod
Boasting remarkable versatility for supporting your gear, the GorillaPod 1K Flexible Mini-Tripod from Joby has legs made up of several joints that allow you to wrap it around objects and adapt it for use in uneven ground. With a load capacity of 2.2 lb, it can reliably hold equipment such as flashes, video lights, and most mirrorless cameras. The notably compact construction of the tripod, featuring a 8.3" height and 5.1 oz weight, makes it easy to store or carry it while travelling.
To help improve its grip and stability on unstable surfaces, the joints and feet of the GorillaPod 1K are rubberized in certain areas. The rest of the tripod is made of stainless steel and a proprietary ABS plastic designed to provide durability and stable performance. Featuring a 1/4"-20 screw for mounting, the stand can be used directly with your gear or attached to an optional ball head for further shooting capabilities.
- Can be used with cameras, lights, speakers, and any other gear weighing up to 2.2 lb that is compatible with its standard 1/4"-20 screw mount
- Flexible jointed legs allow you to secure your equipment to most surfaces
- Compact with a weight of 5.1 oz and height of 8.3", can be transported in a small bag or easily carried in your hands or pocket
- Rubberized joint rings and feet to provide enhanced stability in difficult terrain
- Durable stainless steel and ABS plastic construction
JOBY BallHead 1K
Supporting equipment weighing up to 2.2 lb, the BallHead 1K from Joby uses a standard 1/4"-20 threaded screw to mount compatible mirrorless cameras, flashes, and video lights. It features full 360° panning and 90° tilting for nearly unrestricted movement, complemented by a locking knob to help you retain the ideal position once you have found it.
At only 1.8 oz and with a height of 2.4", the BallHead 1K is portable and can be easily carried without weighing you down. It is designed to be paired with the GorillaPod 1K stand and works with several Joby pro-level accessories that can extend the versatility of your ball head. However, it can also be used on any standard tripod with a 1/4"-20 mount.

JOBY Wavo On-Camera Vlogging Microphone
Created for mobile content creators who use cameras or compatible smartphones, the JOBY Wavo On-Camera Vlogging Microphone is designed to give you great sound quality on the go. This is a camera-mounted mic that plugs right into your compatible device, so you can get great audio in your videos. Plug it into your camera or use the included TRS to TRRS cable for compatible smartphones.
The supercardioid polar pattern goes beyond regular cardioid to extend a tight focus on whatever's in front of the capsule, minimizing everything else in the process. The mic comes with a high-quality shockmount from Rycote, which prevents the mic from picking up extraneous vibration noise as well as a foam windscreen.
Perfect for Mobile Video
With its simple plug-and-play form factor, the mic is perfectly suited for mobile video recording, particularly vlogging.
Handy Includes
Rycote makes some of the best mic accessories in the business, and a rycote shockmount is included. Additionally, the handy TRS to TRRS cable means you can use the mic not only with video cameras and DSLR, but with compatible smartphones as well.
Directional Pickup for a Better Sound
The highly directional supercardioid polar pattern will help tamp down unwanted room noise and ambience, doing so better than traditional cardioid polar patterns.
Easy to Use
The mic offers no controls and operates in the analog domain. This makes operation a breeze: simply plug it in and play. There's no software to install to make it compatible with your phone.
