Peter set one of Peter's replies as an official response to "Is Amazon's Focus/SLR same as Focus? Both use Ballheads?" in Joby

Peter replied on December 17, 2009 19:51 to the question "Is Amazon's Focus/SLR same as Focus? Both use Ballheads?" in Joby:

The "GP3" on Amazon is the same as the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom on Joby's website.

The "GP8" is the same as the Gorillapod Focus on our site.

Joby offers the option to buy the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom with or without the Joby Ballhead, which was designed for the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom.

We do not yet make a ballhead designed for the Focus, but you can use the current Joby Ballhead on either the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom or the Gorillapod Focus (it fits both).

However, please keep in mind that the weight limit of the Focus is 11.1 lbs, and the weight limit of both the Ballhead and the SLR-Zoom is 6.6 lbs, so if you use the Ballhead with the Focus, just be aware of the differences.

Hope that helps!

A comment on the question "How long does shipping usually take?" in Joby:

For Europe we offer International Priority, which usually takes 2-3 days. If you're ordering for Christmas, we recommend ordering before Dec. 17 just to be safe, though. – Peter, on December 15, 2009 19:15

A comment on the problem "Constant disconnect and reconnect" in Joby:

Marilyn, I'm sorry you were disconnected. We certainly don't hang up on people intentionally, so it might have been a technical glitch. Did you call our toll free customer number? If you don't mind trying us again at +1.888.569.5629 we'll be happy to answer your questions. – Peter, on December 14, 2009 18:34

Peter replied on December 08, 2009 21:53 to the question "Pod for Canon EOS Rebel G?" in Joby:

Generally we'd recommend the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom for that camera. You might be able to get away with the Gorillapod SLR if you only use very light lenses with the camera, but for guaranteed stability and support I'd highly recommend the SLR-Zoom.

Did you place an order with us? If so, can you provide the order number from your confirmation email?

A comment on the question "DISCONTINUED?!? WTF!?!" in Joby:

Thanks for your support and evangelism. I'm glad the Zivio worked so well for you, and I hope you get to enjoy your headsets for a long time. If there's anything we can do for you, please let us know. – Peter, on November 25, 2009 04:34

Peter replied on November 25, 2009 02:22 to the question "DISCONTINUED?!? WTF!?!" in Joby:

Thanks for your passion and your love of the Zivio. We really appreciate your enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, however, we've made the decision to leave the Bluetooth headset space altogether. As you may know, the headset market is rather crowded, and as a small new player we faced numerous challenges.

Although we had a number of very passionate headset customers, ultimately we decided that Joby would be best served by focusing on growing and evolving our more established product lines, such as the Gorillapod.

We feel confident that by focusing our efforts we will be able to innovate even faster in these areas, which should yield some cool new products for our customers.

As for Joby as a whole, I'm pleased to say that so far we're weathering this economic climate rather well. The Zivio is in no way an indication that we're in financial trouble. In fact, if anything, concentrating our resources has made us more streamlined and efficient.

Again, thanks for your passion and concern, and for your enthusiasm for the Zivio. Of course, we will continue to support Zivio customers through the end of their warranty periods.

We hope you'll enjoy our other products just as much.

Peter replied on November 25, 2009 01:09 to the question "Is the bubble level clip compatible with the Gorillamobile?" in Joby:

The bubble level clip is currently only available for the Gorillapod SLR and the Ballhead products. There is no bubble level clip available for the Original size or for the Gorillamobile. Sorry!

Peter set one of Peter's replies as an official response to "can the gorillamobile work with a blackberry?" in Joby

Peter replied on November 24, 2009 19:02 to the question "can the gorillamobile work with a blackberry?" in Joby:

Yes! We offer two versions of the Gorillamobile - the Original and the 3G/3GS - and both are compatible with the Blackberry.

The Gorillamobile Original features:
1 x suction cup
2 x removable, residue-free adhesive clips
1 x camera adapter

The Gorillamobile for iPhone 3G/3GS features:
1 x iPhone case
2 x removable, residue-free adhesive clips
1 x camera adapter

Both can work with a Blackberry, because you can use either the adhesive clips or the suction cup. The question is mainly whether you have any need for an iPhone case as well. If not, then we recommend the Gorillamobile Original.

Peter replied on November 12, 2009 05:07 to the idea "Gorillatorch Brightness 65 lumens is to low" in Joby:

Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate the input. We're definitely working on additional products for both the Gorillapod and the new Gorillatorch line, so stay tuned for additional features and improvements. We'll certainly take your feedback into consideration as we plan our future products.

Thanks!

A comment on the question "How long does shipping usually take?" in Joby:

That depends somewhat on where in Africa do you live. Where are you located? – Peter, on November 12, 2009 05:02

Peter replied on November 12, 2009 05:01 to the question "Newer unit, newer firmware?" in Joby:

It's highly unlikely that the units would have different firmware. I don't believe any changes have been made in the last 6-8 months.

Sorry about the difficulties. Kindly email us at support@myzivio.com or call us at +1.888.569.5629 and we'll help you troubleshoot, or initiate a replacement if necessary. Thanks.

A comment on the question "will this work with the stand-alone iSight webcam?" in Joby:

If you have the original stands that come with the iSight, you should be able to attach one of them to the adhesive clips of the Gorillamobile. If I recall, there are three stands that come with the iSight - a magnetic one, a flat stand with adhesive, and one designed for the top of laptop screens. Attaching any of these to the adhesive clip of the Gorillamobile should work. Of course, you could also attach the adhesive clip directly to the back of the iSight. The clips should be strong enough to hold the iSight. – Peter, on November 09, 2009 18:20
