There are a number of portable, adaptable camera mounts already on the market, but the GekkoPod offers added flexibility. This dextrous product has five pliable arms with added length and a tighter grip that will keep your photography equipment secure in all sorts of situations.

Gal and Boaz Zucker created the GekkoPod to accommodate video cameras, digital cameras, [GoPros](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-mobile-tripod), and even smartphones. For the latter, the special claws of the mount can hold the handset in place and at the preferred angle. Tree trunks, backpack straps and fences create fine tripods for this add-on, which can evenly prop up your devices on flat surfaces as well. There are so many gadgets that can take pictures these days, that [adaptable products like this](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-kickout-grip-and-stand) have become quite popular.
