You’ve bought Dad enough tech gear through the years to fill a suburban garage, yet his appetite for all things gadgety doesn’t seem to abate. This Father’s Day, give him a digital-age accessory that won’t become obsolete in the time it takes him to unwrap it. Joby’s Gorillapod, a pretzel-y, prehensile-legged version of the tripod, comes in three sizes that attach (very simply) to most cameras ($22 at B&H, 420 Ninth Ave., at 33rd St.; 212-239-7500). Its bendability means he can scrunch it into his pocket or wrap it around anything from a door handle to a sidewalk grate to hold a camera in place—ideal for Father’s Day family self-portraits. Click ahead for more dad-worthy ideas.
