The JOBY GorillaPod 3K Pro has flexible 10-segment legs that wrap around branches, poles, and railings — mounting your mirrorless camera anywhere a rigid tripod can't go, with 3kg payload for any APS-C system.

Source: DPReview forumsThe GorillaPod 3K Pro is irreplaceable for photographers and filmmakers who shoot in dynamic, outdoor, or unconventional environments.
