  • Is the PGYTech Mantis Pod Pro the best vlogging tripod ever made? Very versatile mini tripod with a lot of tricks up its sleeve. But sometimes simple is best? Can it defeat the Nebula by Anker?

    The MAIN feature of a tripod is that you can PUT IT DOWN and it doesn't fall over. That's it. It's ONE job.
    You're vlogging in handle mode and you want to stop and scratch your ass... And you can't just put it down without the camera touching pavement.
    That mantis thing is broken. Sorry. Lots of cool features on a not-a-tripod.

    As a shorter “hang onto anything” tripod I prefer the Fotopro uFO 2. It is more versatile than this hook idea and better than a Gorillapod. For length I like the Anker Nebula. That low weight is worth gold.
