It would seem that Joby's started to seriously diversify its offerings lately, the company's latest product, the Gorillatorch Blade, being in fact a bit different from the rest of their photography-related offerings, since what we're talking about here is a hands-free and tactical LED flashlight that combines even, powerful light with ultra-precise positioning capabilities.

The Blade is built around a high-efficiency and long-lasting CREE XLamp XP-C LED, that produces up to 130 lumens of intense light output, while the even light profile can be adjusted from spot to flood for detailed tasks or work on reflective surfaces.

The lithium-ion battery is easily recharged using either the included USB cable or AC adapter, and in order to further increase productivity, smooth 360 degree pan and 180 degree tilt allows precise illumination of the most tough-to-reach spaces.

Plus, the rugged casing and easily maneuvered neck are constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, making the lightweight Gorillatorch Blade remarkably durable and scratch-resistant.

The Gorillatorch Blade is removable from the stand to accommodate more tactical applications, while the flexible, bendable tripod legs and powerful neodymium magnetic feet adapt easily to any work situation.

“The Gorillatorch Blade is designed with the extreme flashlight user in mind,” explains Joby CEO Forrest Baringer-Jones.

“With 130 Lumens of intense light, ultra-precise positioning, durability and the ability to recharge, this really is the flashlight for the mechanically-minded enthusiast.”

The Gorillatorch Blade comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a USB cable and AC adapter, all for $59, which is a pretty decent pricing, all things considered.
