Custom 1K – Big Improvement
For some odd reason Joby touts this new(er) model for its capacity to swap its feet pads with colours other than black. Who cares about colour, is this supposed to be fashion accessory? No, the GorillaPod is designed to support an item securely in all sorts of demanding, unusual locations. To that end the CUSTOM 1K makes great strides because when feet pads are removed, they reveal a genuine 1/4"-20 standard male tripod screw. Just like the one that connects the ball head to the unit. That means any item having a 1/4 20 socket can be attached at any of four (4) different points, or, up to four items can be attached to one unit. THAT is a huge improvement. But... Joby doesn't seem to be aware of this, or so it seems by their marketing of this hip, fashion ornament...
