Osmo Pocket 3: Mic 2 Firmware Update + Wide Angle Test!

πŸŽ₯ Welcome back to Day 2 of testing the DJI Osmo Pocket 3! In this video, I’m focusing on some key improvements and new gear I’ve been experimenting with for better vlogging.

PGYTECH MantisPod 2.0 Review

I have been using the original PGYTECH MantisPod Pro for several months and liked the flexibility and ease of going vertical, but I felt that it was a little… structurally unsound for bigger cameras.

After buying the small PGYTECH remote for the Sony ZV-1, I learned about the MantisPod V2 which features a spot to house the remote. The combination reminded me of the Sony vlogger tripod (GPVPT2BT) but the MantisPod is cheaper and does more things.

This video compares the differences between version 1 and version 2 and why V2 is perfect for the ZV-1. It also highlights how this tripod fits perfectly in my 3L man-purse.
