I'm DOWNGRADING my GorillaPod! How well does the 3K PRO hold up?

[@DeepBhatia]

Write on top of the permanent marker with temporary marker and erase it. Works like a charm.

[@cameronelder2468]

I have used this trick so many times.

[@heathermaitland2942]

Bahahaha

[@jiniusday4427]

And I still wonder what he was shooting about then....

[@arturogoga]

Whatever happened to the Switchpod that came out like 3 months ago and was supposed to be the end all be all for vlogging? Never heard about it again after the first batch of videos and now hardly anyone uses one 🤔

[@sardomnumspa]

Arturo Goga it does not ship until August, may be why no one is using it? LOL

[@KinkyTraficCone]

For that permanent marker - color over it with a normal dry erase marker. The permanent and dry erase will both come off when you wipe it after.

[@EddyReckless]

The old 3k was a shame. I had two and they broke at first use. The massive and expensive 5k or focus are greats but im still searching for another options for vlogging lightweight

[@troyflatland5299]

The video head - which is it and how did you connect it? Does it need another piece to attach? Please explain because I want one bad now 😂

[@vaggelismanousakis6147]

does the Gorilla Pod 3K come with a GoPro mount ?

[@halimrahman]

How sturdy are the connected balls? Prone to break?

[@AbrahamTario]

I’m currently using the 5k with my Sony a6400 and I’m happy but 3k is better to carry but what I am really waiting for is the SWITCHPOD! August is the month!! Can’t wait!

[@EddyReckless]

I switched from the 5k to the 3k for the weight but the bad plastic of the 3k is a shame. Two 3k broke at first use. I come back to the 5k and the focus for the a6500

[@AbrahamTario]

Eddy Reckless good thing I never went for the 3k. Lol 5k for now till I SWITCH to the POD.

[@EddyReckless]

@@AbrahamTario We are all waiting for the switchpod, looks cool!

How has it held up a year later? Thinking about getting this

[@Kjagen]

Can you use another plate with it? For example Peak designe plate?

[@grahamhunt_]

Absolutely love your videos man

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Ive been meaning to pick up a Gorillapod and I was toying between the 5k and 3k, but if this is coming out next month, I might pick this up! thanks for the recommendation!

Same! Love how minimal it is, perfect for backpacking

[@Jsallette99]

wow.. perfect timing for this video.. Thanks...for the inspiration

[@j.a.r9954]

You are such an inspiration for wannabe film makers such as myself. Eventhough your channel is predominantly about photography the tips and the advice you offer has still helped me progress. So, thankyou :) P.s Love the content man keep it up:)

J.A.R thanks so much for watching man! Anything else you’d like to see on the channel?

[@loydlim9604]

sir hows the leg it didnt loose coz my 3k only 1 month some of the leg is loosen very dissapointed

[@reubenkerr9908]

Amazing video love you work

[@williamhindle4366]

The pro isn’t available on my country. Would you recommend the standard 3k version for a Sony A7RIII and 24mm GM or should I go for the 5K instead, for general seascape and long exposure photography while traveling - both are on sale so both are within my budget.

[@ipscaddict]

Does it pan smoothly? I noticed it had marks on the base of the ball joint housing thats why I asked.

[@NicolaiSeier]

This was just what I needed to make my decision! Thank u sir

[@jonbarringer]

I have the 3k with the Canon 6d Markii and it works fabulous. It definitely can hold the Canon 1dx

[@jlgulleydesigns]

The 3k fell apart on me after 2 months... Both the legs started to crack and split(I never wrapped it around anything) and the thumb button to unlock the mount cmpletely broke

[@themiraimage]

I went from the 3k to the Manfrotto Pixie Evo. Im so much happier with it! the legs just always broke on me doing simple movements with it.

[@EddyReckless]

The same here, I had two 3k. They broke at first use, a shame

[@ZachandKatelyn]

Chris take a dry erase marker you would normally use to write on your slate and write over the permanent marker. It should take it right off!

[@ronaldojoe3011]

Use anything with alcohol in it to remove the marker. I once had to use cologne to remove something I wrote on a whiteboard in school. It worked like a charm

[@jackoliver6753]

You're humor in these videos is always showing up more and I love it

[@YourBoyStevoVA]

I had a m6markii and it couldn’t hold it anymore

[@JanAndres17]

[@lakaiinhd]

Good job Chris! Good to see you working hard as always! Keep it up🤙🏽 I have the 5k right now. I might sell it to get the 3k now!

[@AndyMBurgess]

I recommend! Been using it for two months after switching from the 5K and love it!

[@ki4csq]

Hey Chris, I have the 3k pod, several of them, some just a few months old and All have suffered the dreaded cracked Cup on the legs. Joby was good and replaced one, but that one cracked within a week so I just used ABS Cement and glued it in place, no time to wait or call them. I would be interested in trying out the Aluminum version as I do not trust Joby even using it as a tripod. Maybe they will upgrade me.

[@murasaki1177]

I have a question about the rubber joints of that aluminium leg do you think it would hold up longer than the plastic because it is much heavier.

[@VioletHenning]

Nice video man. I love the base plate. So much better than the one on my joby.

[@thechrishau]

Violet Henning same! It’s great :)

[@rachelsilarszka4552]

have you tried writing over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and then trying to erase it?

[@TheMotivatedRambler]

I'm still rocking the old version with the bubble leveler (not sure if that's the proper term) on the plate. Definitely doesn't look as sleek as the new versions, but that leveler helps a ton and the new ones don't seem to have them. Am I wrong?

[@onedayapenguin]

Little tip - you can write over permanent marker ink using a non-permanent marker and rub it right off, works on a white board at least ymmv :-)

[@dubrbg]

What video head is that? thanks

[@opalyankaBG]

After only a couple of years my Gorillapod SLR Zoom's legs started cracking (thus making the whole tripod quite unstable). I'm not sure I'll trust this brand again.

[@jamesfestini]

If you spray Lysol on the slate and wipe with a paper towel right away it will clean it. Then spray cooking spray and wipe and boom

[@aghahanta108]

Thanks Chris for the video. I think if you had spoke more on the difference and why you would choose the pro over the standard 3K it would have added a lot more value to the audience. I have the original 3k and have the same camera / lens setup but find the legs not really strong enough for the weight despite the 3K label.

[@thechrishau]

Aghahanta Das I’ve never used the 3k kit. So I wouldn’t have had the chance to speak to it from my experience.

[@aghahanta108]

@@thechrishau fair enough! thanks for the reply man.

[@TuckerPearce]

No switchpod for Chris, nice to see someone not hating on them! I really like their products... The link bit... 🤣

[@LoudlabsNYC]

lol the grandma story

[@FilmwithLove]

Thank you, Chris! 💪

[@Curtis-Randall]

I tried to find an alternative to the joby gorillapod. After weeks of research, I can’t find anything close. I love and hate the product but ultimately it still seems like the fastest and most versatile solution for me. I travel, hike, etc and it just works. I wish there was a way to refurbish them when the legs start getting loose. Thanks for the video, I was curious about the new Joby lineup

[@OrlandoThemePark360]

Your slate isnt lost. Take a dry erase marker and color over the perm marker and it should wipe right off. Normally you do this the second you notice so not sure if it works after being there awhile.

[@Noealz]

I thought about getting a slate cuz of the hastle of syncing audio

[@akavenus]

Have you tried to draw over the permanent markers with a whiteboard marker, then whipe it of as normal? If that dont work the slate is a gonner!

[@musikcreator93]

To get rid of the permanent marker, use isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel - get's rid of it right away. Used it all the time on road cases that we'd have to write labels on with permanent marker. Stuff works wonders.

[@musikcreator93]

If you don't choose this method, just mail it to me - I'll pay shipping.

[@teun9093]

Got this one from Santaclaus. HYPED haha

[@iamthefilter]

Can't you take it off with some rubbing alcohol? I usually works for me when i used to write with permanent pen in cd's!

[@arvizaslt]

Great new tripod:)

[@junichiroyal6885]

Hey Chris! If it is a sharpie on the clapperboard, use a dry erase marker it should come off.

[@michalstoch]

You're hugging the trees a lot with this tripod 😊👍

[@zipptinker]

When someone used permanent marker on our boards, we used whitening toothpaste to get rid of it. Worked a treat.

[@aaronpeipert]

Yo Chris, what color style you using on a9 for video?

[@mitchmadeley6542]

Looks ammazing🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@TheCoomer]

You can use perfume /Cologne/ deodorant to remove permanent marker on plastic services.

[@Aartwood]

Spray your snapper with hair spray, works pretty well getting permanent marker off.

[@JohnAMcCreary]

To remove permanent marker, color over it completely in dry erase marker, then erase. It works!

You can use methylated spirit or methylated spirit to clean the permanent marker from the slate board

You don't need a new slate, write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and it will remove the permanent marker.

just colour the permanent marker with a removable marker the chemicals make a reaction that will make the permanent marker wipe off with removable marker (hope it helps)

use another marker and rubb it all on the permanent one then then clean with a towel it will come off

Hi r u using switchpod bro howz it?

[@TheJakeThatVlogs]

@@TravoFoodie I love it! The magnets in the feet are my only complaint. They're not strong enough to hold the feet together over time. If you hold it with the right side facing up, they stay collapsed together from gravity and it's literally not a problem at all. Cody Wanner made a video solving this problem. They're customer service is amazing! I had one of the rubber feet fall off on the legs last month and I asked them for more on Facebook. They shipped me replacements for free in like 3 days.

You should be able to get rid of the permanent marker on your slate with some isopropyl alcohol. Get a bottle at Shoppers. Get the 99% stuff. Or you might even be able to get it with hand sanitizer.

You can get rid of it by going over it with a dry erase marker

write over the permanent marker with an dry erase marker and then you can wipe off the sharpie. I learned that from a teacher

Just write over the permanent marker text with a white board marker, leave it a minute and wipe off. The permanent marker comes right off.
