JOBY's new magnetic octopus suction tripod wraps, sticks, and grips its way into every shooting scenario, all at just 146 grams.

Los Angeles, CA — JOBY, the brand that invented the flexible tripod with GorillaPod®, today announces PodZilla® Octo, a magnetic octopus suction tripod designed for creators who refuse to be limited by their environment. Weighing just 146g and folding flat to 16.5 cm, PodZilla® Octo is the most versatile pocket-sized phone tripod JOBY has ever made.
PodZilla® Octo combines three mounting methods in a single tool: flexible wrapping legs, built-in suction cups, and a MagSafe-compatible magnetic phone mount. The result is a tripod that adapts to virtually any surface or scenario, from wrapping around a railing to sticking to a car windshield to standing on a rocky trail.
"Every JOBY product starts with the same question: where is the creator going, and what's stopping them from getting the shot? PodZilla® Octo answers that by removing every excuse. Wrap it, stick it, stand it, hold it. Your environment is no longer a limitation."
What Makes PodZilla® Octo Different
Where traditional phone tripods force creators to choose between portability and versatility, PodZilla® Octo delivers both. Here's what's packed into a form factor that fits in your palm.
Stand It, Wrap It, and Hang It Anywhere
PodZilla® Octo features three rugged, flexible legs built with a silicone exterior and aluminum alloy core, tested through 500+ bend cycles without fatigue. The legs wrap around poles, branches, railings, and handles to secure your phone in places a traditional tripod simply can't reach. A twist of the base ring shifts leg angles between 45° for a stable tabletop stand and 90° for a flat base with maximum suction contact.
Strong Octopus-Like Grip
Built-in suction cups on the underside of each leg lock onto glass, tile, mirrors, and other smooth surfaces instantly, keeping your phone steady so you can stay focused on the shot. Stick PodZilla® Octo to a car windshield for hands-free GPS, a bathroom mirror for a makeup tutorial, or a kitchen backsplash to follow a recipe.
Build Your Versatile Mobile Rig
PodZilla® Octo features a dual-sided magnetic mount compatible with MagSafe. Snap your phone to the front, then attach a light or accessory to the back to instantly build a mobile content creation rig. The magnetic mount extends outward to accommodate any phone size, and an included magnetic adapter ring brings compatibility to non-magnetic phones and cases.
Compact and Portable
At 146g and a folded size of just 16.5 × 6 × 5 cm, PodZilla® Octo is comfortable to hold and slides into any bag, jacket pocket, or clips to a backpack with the included carabiner. It's the kind of gear you stop thinking about packing and start forgetting it's there until you need it.
Total Directional Control
Precision 360° horizontal panning and 200° of tilt give you the creative freedom to capture from any perspective, whether you're shooting a cinematic time-lapse, a cooking video, or a car vlog.
One Tool. Infinite Possibilities.
PodZilla® Octo is built for creators who move between environments without slowing down. Whether you're filming a skate session at the park, mounting your phone to a windshield for a road trip vlog, or propping up for a video call in the backyard, PodZilla® Octo adapts.
