There is a clear chill in the air and to say that some of us have been under the weather is an understatement. Not to fear! December brings fun contests, beautiful images of snow and more holiday gift guides to make us all rejoice.

‘Tis the Season

This week we launched a campaign via email, twitter and facebook. Each day highlights a new offer or chance to win some amazing JOBY prizes. So be sure to follow us to make sure you stay in-the-know.

For today,  ’Tis the Season to Explore – you can win a an Outdoor Adventurer Bundle complete with a GorillaTorch Switchback and a GorillaPod SLR-Zoom plus Ballhead by posting your best adventure shot on In the Wild.

Still feeling that competitive spirit? Macworld has unveiled their latest photography contest today and we  are thrilled to be the sponsors. The low light contest is designed for all types of cameras from iPhones to DSLRs. We can’t wait to see the entries!

On a more festive and quieter note, I stumbled across this HDR photo shot on a GorillaPod SLR Zoom in Austria, and had to share.

And now, some gift guide round ups. We seem to be showing up everywhere this season, here is just a sampling of some of JOBY product’s recent appearances.

Cool Hunting honored JOBY with multiple appearances in their Holiday Gift Guide. Under the lovely umbrella of “Neat Stuff” Engadget declared both the GorillaTorch Switchback and the GorillaTorch Blade winners for holiday shopping lists. Smarter Travel declared the GorillaMobile a must-have for the savvy traveler. And, if you happen to be traveling on American Airlines this holiday season, you will be able to see a friendly companion in the American Way magazine.
