<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9370" height="1080" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2018/11/90ce5465-1.png" width="1920" />Are regular tripods bending you out of shape? Flexible tripods can inspire you to take photos and videos at impossible heights and angles. They’re a great (and tiny!) addition to any camera bag.</p>
<p>When you’re looking at flexible tripods, versatility is the name of the game. We’re talking about a tripod that can wrap around trees, hang from a bridge, or magnetically grip to the side of a cement mixer. These things can even bend into selfie sticks, hand-stabilizers, and shoulder mounts. Flexible tripods are the perfect companion for an impromptu shoot, or a quick time-lapse video in an urban area.</p>
<p>But flexible tripods aren’t just versatile, they’re also portable. Most flexible tripods can fit into bags or pockets because they’re almost always less than a foot tall. Inspiration can come at the most inconvenient time, so it’s handy to keep a flexible tripod in the car or in a camera bag! There are a lot of flexible tripods out there, and they all have their quirks. That’s why we’ve combed through to find the best flexible tripods for everybody’s needs.</p>
<p>Of course, you don’t need a fancy DSLR to take advantage of a flexible tripod. Your phone probably has a great camera built into it! Some of the tripods that we’ve recommended come with a clamp for phones, but you’ll generally want to attach an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Universal-Smartphone-Horizontal-Adjustable/dp/B01L3B5PBI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541169540&sr=8-3&keywords=phone+tripod+mount&tag=reviewgeek-20">adapter</a> to your phone if you want to use a tripod. While you’re at it, you may want to grab a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/CamKix-Wireless-Bluetooth-Shutter-Smartphones/dp/B00PJSIIES/?tag=reviewgeek-20">Bluetooth shutter remote</a> to make everything easier.</p>
<h2>Joby GorillaPod 5K ($139)</h2>
<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9365" height="1080" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2018/11/4a47a0db-1.png" width="1920" /></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/GorillaPod-Professional-Ballhead-Mirrorless-Charcoal/dp/B074WG19MP/?tag=reviewgeek-20">Joby GorillaPod 5K</a> is the best professional-grade flexible tripod that money can buy. It’s a strong, but very potable piece of hardware. Because it’s made with a durable rubber, the GorillaPod 5K only weights 1.5 pounds. But it can hold up to 11 pounds, which means that you can comfortably attach a large DSLR with a telephoto lens to it.</p>
<p>See those awkward, beady legs? They can articulate with a surprising amount of detail in every direction, which means that they can wrap around objects at all kinds of angles or stand on uneven surfaces. Not to mention, you can transform the GorillaPod into a selfie stick, hand-stabilizer, or shoulder rig by adjusting the legs.</p>
<p>This is a great tripod for serious photographers and videographers. It’s ridiculously durable and strong enough to hold a telephoto lens, so it’s particularly useful for high-altitude photos and video. The big downside to this tripod is the price point, but would you rather hang your equipment off the side of a building with a $138 Joby or a $54 Joby?</p>
<p>Well, if you’d rather hang you equipment from a $54 Joby, then check out the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/GorillaPod-Compact-Ballhead-Mirrorless-Charcoal/dp/B074WC9YKL/?tag=reviewgeek-20">GorillaPod 3K</a>. It’s smaller than the 5K and it’s a bit weaker. It’s still a great option for somebody who’s looking for a professional-grade flexible tripod, just don’t put more than 6.6 pounds of equipment on it.</p>
<div class="product-share-links"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/GorillaPod-Professional-Ballhead-Mirrorless-Charcoal/dp/B074WG19MP/?tag=reviewgeek-20" target="_blank">Buy on Amazon</a></div>

The Best Websites for Sending Free eCards

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-395474" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ecard_lede.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>If you’re looking to send eCards to your friends and family, there are hundreds of websites from which to choose. We’ve done the hard work and scouted the best sites with a widest range of eCards for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions.</p>
<p>It’s important to know that some of these websites let you download the cards to your computer or phone while other websites send the eCards on your behalf—once you enter the recipient’s email address. But, many times, emails from these websites are considered promotional and might end up in your recipient’s spam folder. Make sure that you confirm that your recipient has received the eCard. To avoid this, you can always download the card and send it yourself or share the card on social media instead of sending it by email.</p>
<h2>Punchbowl: Best for Most People</h2>
<p><img alt="punchbowl-send-ecards-header" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-395365" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/punchbowl-send-ecards-header.jpg" width="650" /></p>
<p>You’ll find an eCard for almost every occasion on Punchbowl. The cards are beautifully designed, and the website makes it easy to find and discover new cards. There are plenty of categories of cards including birthdays, festivals, wedding, professional, religious and more. Cards in all categories have a consistently pleasant design.</p>
<p>Before sending a card, you can personalize each design with your name or other text. You can then send the eCard to all your guests or schedule it for later. If you install the mobile apps, you can opt-in to get push notifications whenever any of your guests confirm their presence—if you send a card with an RSVP feature.</p>
<h2>Blue Mountain: Good if You Want Some Fun, Animated eCards</h2>
<p><img alt="bluemountain-send-ecards-header" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-395366" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/bluemountain-send-ecards-header.jpg" width="650" /></p>
<p>Blue Mountain is one of the older websites for sending eCards, and it’s still relevant and thriving today. Apart from regular cards, Blue Mountain also has animated cards, video cards, and a few other interactive cards. Not all of those cards are available for free though. Once you select a card, you can personalize it to some degree, then send it by email or share it across social media. Bear in mind that some cards can only be personalized with preselected names.</p>
<p>The website operates on a freemium model where you can send most eCards for free, but other services like scheduling, exclusive cards, sending physical cards, and including gift cards require a subscription. Their plans start at $4.99 a month, and you can find out details on <a href="https://www.bluemountain.com/member-benefits">their membership page</a>.</p>
