Sometimes I feel I need superhuman powers to be the mom and business owner I want to be. Having the right tools on hand makes a huge difference. Since I’m doing more and more video posts and spokesperson work, I need to be able to capture an image or video without waiting for a friend/husband/co-worker to arrange to meet me. That’s where the Gorilla comes in.

Earlier this summer I was work on some day-to-day fashion posts. I went to my rooftop and attached the camera to a beam to get this shot–pretty cool. It also works as a standard tripod too. It’s a must have for any blogger.

The Joby Gorillapod works for compact camcorders (like my Kodak Zi8) and small cameras. The magnet is super strong and the tripod is equally sturdy. Treat yourself to the right gear and see your efforts pay off.

Momtrends was not paid for this post. We did get the tripod to test out.
