    • 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?

    +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.

        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.
