Getting the perfect angle for your travel photos sometimes requires a little ingenuity. With the Joby GoillaPod it might be a little easier to get those quirky shots. Unlike most tripods, GorillaPod has moveable legs that allow it to wrap around most objects. You can hang it from a tree if you think it’ll help capture your best angle.

With multiple models you can find one that fits just about any type of camera from your basic DSLR to a GoPro, or even your smartphone. It’s a great alternative to a selfie stick that promises to capture better pictures from further away.

The legs of the tripod bend in multiple directions allowing it to clamp on to stationary objects or flatten out to get a photo from a lower angle. An integrated ballhead enables you to tilt the camera up to 90 degrees or pan for up to 360 degrees. Each GorillaPod is made of ABS plastic, aluminum and stainless steel. The tripods weigh less than a pound.

Best of all there are numerous accessories you can add on to further complement your photography style, from specialized mounts for your camera to arms that’ll help keep things in place.

A standard GorillaPod retails online for only $39.95.
