Thank you for the succinct overview of the pros and cons. I appreciate the brief presentation without the theatrics and excessive hyperbole of some other popular (and unpopular) RU-vidrs.

Thanks for the feedback and glad it could help. Simplicity and succinct-ness is one of the things I'm striving for, glad it's landing!

*Have you tried the switch pod?* I want to make videos at my desk (I have a normal tripod) but also might want a smaller tripod to put on the table for sitting a cafe or work desk or minimal vlogging etc. I have an A7IV with 24mm Lens. My first camera. Would you recommend the mantis pod? Does the extra length option help with 24mm vlog?

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

I have not tried the switch pod, but from what I've seen of Peter McKinnon and Matti Hapooja, they're both using the mantispod pro. I think the extra length will help, esp with the 24mm lens. If budget is not an issue, I would definitely go with the mantispod pro. It will be sturdy enough to work on a higher lens should you choose to later (16-35 or 24-70). Another option is the manfrotto travel tripod, which will do well tabletop and freestanding. Not the best for vlogging but it can be done: amzn.to/3Z1aMsu

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

The mantispod pro will probably be too short for tabletop vlogging in a studio but you can jerry-rig something with books/boxes. You might want a smaller form factor for vlogging in public but the angle will be of your chin looking up. Just some other thoughts!

@@jonlaidonlie cheers. Yeah, the switch pod looks a little bit taller which could help with desk height for a less chin visual 🤣. The mantis pod looks good. Does it feel strong in the hand and sturdy on a desk? My concern with switchpod is that it doesn’t look as sturdy on a desk (in case the desk is bumped).

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

@@zippo_muk9254 definitely feels sturdy. You had me considering buying it again 😁

@CedricRachmad Год назад

got the Sirui one already but don't find it stable with a A7 unless the body is balanced perfectly with a small lens. Is the mantispod more flexible in this regard?

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

From what I can remember, the mantispod would be more stable. That's a great point, I use the 20mm which is quite compact. What lens are you using?

@CedricRachmad Год назад

@@jonlaidonlie well the 16-35 gm for sure didn’t work. Smaller would work but not rock solid especially when tilting the body

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

That's a great point and the mantispod would be better in that regard!

@Demonidias Год назад

Can I use this 03:15 only on pro version of mantispod 1.0?

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

No, the non-pro also does the extended mode (original mantispod) amzn.to/40WOzMP

@Demonidias Год назад

@@jonlaidonlie Thank you!! Your review was just on point BTW, convinced me to try it out for my setup with Sony A7IV and 24-105. Maybe I won't need wider lense with that mantispod!

@jonlaidonlie Год назад

Yeah I hear you. That 24 is just on the border of being too tight!
