Gorillapod maker Joby is taking legal action against a manufacturer of 'fake gorillas' � an imitation tripod that reportedly can cause camera and tripod to crash onto the ground.
A spokeswoman for Gorillapod's UK distributor Intro 2020 told Amateur Photographer: 'We understand that Joby USA are in litigation with the manufacturer of these tripods.'
She added: 'I cannot comment any further.'
It is not clear whether any of the fake products have reached the UK market.
The source of the inferior imitation has not been identified, reports Japanese trade publication Pen News Weekly, in its issue dated 19 October.
Gorillapod's importer Kenko has warned the Japanese photo trade that the Joby logo and 'quick-set' camera plate is missing on the imitation.
