    • INFIDEL on 29/08/2017 - 21:37
      +1

      Have from previous deal. Fitted my smaller Moto G4 play. Spring loaded - opens to take up to 80mm wide phone, so should take 76.6mm wide Moto G4 Plus.

      But it's not great - can't rely on it wrapping around objects securely like a Joby Gorillapod tripod. As a basic tripod, it works.

  • fiveferrari on 29/08/2017 - 21:24

    Thanks picked 2.

  • scepticpsych on 29/08/2017 - 21:33

    The real question is would you trust this with your $1000+ device?

    • INFIDEL on 29/08/2017 - 21:38
      +1

      $1000+? Am using these from last deal, with a few free Android phones (from Woolies deal last year), for basic motion activated video surveillance in home. Works well.

      The real question is… Why would you want to use such a cheap plastic holder like this with an expensive phone??

      • scepticpsych on 29/08/2017 - 21:51

        The whole point of the design is versatility - they can be wrapped around a pole or tree branch. I'd hate to be in the middle of taking a photo when your phone/camera comes crashing down. I have the original Joby Gorillapod for what it's worth to use with my RX100 (these simply have an attachment but retain the original tripod mount) which I paid $19 for and hasn't failed on me yet

        • INFIDEL on 29/08/2017 - 22:03

          Also have original Joby Gorillapod (2 for $6 deal). That design has versatility. Even it is limited to certain weight use.

          The tripod in these ones are rip off of that design & lack any real strength, so would not recommend using it wrapped around branches etc. The camera holder is from a selfie stick.

          That's why I ask why would you even consider this product with an expensive phone?

          But perfect as basic cheap tripod for my use with free phones.

        • scepticpsych on 30/08/2017 - 09:38

          @Infidel: Where the hell did you get the original 2 for $6?

  • cowiie on 29/08/2017 - 21:43
    +3

    Mine arrived from previous deal, very crap quality.

    • INFIDEL on 29/08/2017 - 21:57

      You expect a lot for $1 in previous deal.
      It's a cheap plastic camera tripod and a selfie stick phone mount that screws on the top. Explained that in last deal - built one from parts from previous deals.

      Quite happy with product received for fixed use (not wrapped around branches etc like a Joby Gorillapod) - holding phone for videoing in home. Wouldn't expect it to hold up to much wear & tear. Wouldn't use this to take photos with good phone.

      But for 89c delivered, it's ok & may be useful if you don't expect too much of it.

        I don't understand, it says $0.00 for shipping. Not going to buy this product, but lately all my GB orders have been showing up as 1 cent more when I go to the PayPal screen but bill the correct amount.

        • INFIDEL on 29/08/2017 - 22:54
          +1

          Shows Free shipping, but 1c shipping each showed for me at & after PayPal. Shows charged 2c extra for order of 2 in PayPal Activity.

        • Savas on 29/08/2017 - 23:07

          @Infidel: I would contact the Gearbest rep to get that partial refund

          It must be a worm, collecting 1c from PayPal transactions. This method was detailed in the 1983 documentary WarGames presented by Matthew Broderick.

      • altomic on 30/08/2017 - 08:26

        Also PayPal exchange are crap. Your account will be charged in US. Using 28 degree or citi bank will provide a better exchange rate.

        • ozlab on 30/08/2017 - 09:40

          You can link 28 degrees card to your PayPal for buyer protection. Then you can choose USD during payment both in gear best and PayPal to avoid PayPal conversion rate.
