San Francisco, CA–Joby, creator of the original Gorillapod, launched a contest that showcases the Gorillamobile product line and the photographic moments that can be captured using its Gorillacam iPhone application.
The contest, which runs through August 15, is titled Candid Summer – Capture the Fun, Unscripted Moments That Inspire Your Summer Shenanigans. The top five images will receive up to $100 worth of product and will be featured in the blog and may appear in future direct or print marketing campaigns.
“We are very excited about the Candid Summer contest,” said vice president of Marketing for Joby, Scott Ellis. “The contest was inspired by the energy of an epic road trip or an exploration of the great outdoors. We wanted to use the event to tap into the creativity of (mis)adventures that happen during the summer and encourage people to share these moments, which often end up being more memorable than the planned trip activities.”
The Gorillamobile case and stand combination is designed to effectively protect the phone from day-to-day challenges. The lightweight, bendable and wrappable tripod legs allow users to shoot from otherwise impossible angles and vantage points, and it fits into a pocket or bag, making it a convenient image-capturing and video-viewing accessory for any trip.
In addition, the Gorillamobile plus iPhone Gorillacam App helps push the boundaries to make low-light and action shots as well as self-portraits become pictures worth saving. With over 1.7 million downloads, the Gorillacam App provides such features as three-shot burst, self-timer and time–lapse capabilities.
To enter the Candid Summer contest, participants need to upload their photos to Joby in the Wild at joby.com/inthewild and include a short description of the photo story. To find out more about the contest visit joby.com/candid-summer.
