GekkoPod Review

    The GekkoPod is way better than a selfie stick--this flexible tripod can mount on to a tree, rock, or any other surface, so that you can take photos from any angle.

  • GekkoPod Review:

  • Price and Where to Buy: At the time of writing, the GekkoPod was on sale for $19.95 on Amazon.

    How The GekkoPod Rates:

    • Usefulness: 10/10. You'll never need to take an awkward selfie again with the GekkoPod. Wrap it around a tree and set the timer on your phone or camera and take great shots. The GekkoPod can be balanced on a rock or wall, and it's flexible, so you can wrap it around a branch or other object as well.
    • Value: 8/10. Especially at the sale price, this is a good deal for a portable tripod.
    • Portability: 10/10. It folds up small or flattens out, and is very lightweight.
    • Durability: 9/10. The GekkoPod is not at all flimsy and will last for many photoshoots.
    • Cool Factor: 10/10. It's way cooler than a selfie stick.

    Final Verdict: If you want to up your travel photography game, you should invest in a GekkoPod.
