Love the intro - who where those 3 good looking guys - love the Mantis and the way it feels in your hand is great even with my Canon R3 plus I did not know about the wrist strap and bridge is back again - cheers H
This dude is the best tech reviewer on this platform… he keeps it a bucK! And from his older Comica VM20 review and engagement put me onto Comica.. aka.. Rode isn’t the end all tell all…
Great video Sam! Love your content! I stopped using the gorilla pod when it went off balance and my gh5 hit the table lens first. I've used the $30 manfrotto mini tripod since, but this tripod looks promising too. You are right though, when it comes to vlogging, especially for extended periods of time, minimizing the weight is so important!
Nice. For vlogging this is clear, but if I’m mainly looking for still photography which do you recommend? I do take a lot of long exposures on hikes so I mount on rocks, tree branches, mounds, etc.. and I borrow my brothers gorillapod but the build quality of the mantis pod entices me. When mounted on let’s say a branch in mantis mode, is it pretty secure? I see it works on a thin fence but can the claws clamp vertically on something a bit thicker like a branch?
Hope that guy you threw the tripod at was ok 😂 Love how the joby tripod bends around everything, but the mantis pod has all the modes. Can’t go wrong with either tbh! I really need to get to Sherwood Pines one of these days to explore! Looks like you had fun, strong guy! I’m tempted with both. Argh. Great video again you legend.
We have this tripod and it’s great, only drawback is that it’s too light for our setup. Our set up Sony A7iv 16-35 gym We’re travelling Asian and will swap it for the joby
Hows the weight with the joby when mounting a full frame mirrorless camera though while vlogging? Cant imagine it being less than 5lbs and not straining the shoulder.
come on man. The Joby has a purpose, it can even out uneven surfaces, it can wrap arpund stuff, yes it comes at a cost of mechanical wear over time but its a product in its own catagory. These cheap chinese clones are not the same thing
I have the mantis too, I love it and it is awesome But maan, let's talk about the image, it is just amazing to watch, the S5, is just amazing Do you know if they have in mind any MK 2? 😏😏
Oke my mistake, I take that back. I bought the Gorillapod 3k kit just before I saw your video, so was hoping for some confirmation. ;) I stand by my choice tho, well see. Thanks man!

Such a great accessory to have. Literally use mine daily now
It’s one of those that you don’t realise how good it is until you use it 🤩🎥💪🏻
Climbing on the frame with your bag still on makes the video. Out-standing.
😂 thanks! 🙏🏻🎥
Content here are getting better. Cheers
Thank you
This is my go to handheld tripod , been using this a while, so far its been perfect.
It’s great isn’t it

@@SamHolland thanks for asking nice to know I am in that circle of 3 friends 😀

Thank you 🙏🏻🤩 Oh no! 😱
It’s worth checking out and trying for sure 🎥

Great video again you legend.
😂 thanks brother. Yeh it’s an amazing place 🌲
I have a Nikon D500 and want something small to take videos... am thinking of this dji
i have 1 mantispod pro too and super love it!
Great vid again mate. Gonna have to invest now 🙌🏻
Thank you! 🤩 great purchase 🙏🏻🎥
I'm just wondering about one, only without a pro
We have this tripod and it’s great, only drawback is that it’s too light for our setup.
Our set up
Sony A7iv
16-35 gym
We’re travelling Asian and will swap it for the joby
thanks for the video :)

Sold! Gonna get one of these
Nice! 🤩👌🏻🎥
If anyone has been or knows about Scotland, the last thing on earth a product would be called is a Joby....believe me!
😬
😂😂😂😂
I’ve used half a dozen mini pods, and the MantisPod is definitely the best. I take it everywhere. 👍
That’s amazing. It’s so good isn’t it. I was well surprised
@@SamHolland Yep, it’s bloody good. Sturdy, too.
Thank you :)
Thank YOU 🤩🙏🏻🎥
0:48 is that black mist pro filter or panasonic autofocus LOL

that's cool
Hi Sam, Does the plate able to use on Ulanzi F38 quick release system you review before?
Hey. Unfortunately not! 😩 that’s the only downside to this for me
Excellent review, BTW. Faff-free. 👍
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 0% faff! 😂🎥
I have the mantis too, I love it and it is awesome
But maan, let's talk about the image, it is just amazing to watch, the S5, is just amazing
Do you know if they have in mind any MK 2? 😏😏
It’s great isn’t it.
And so is the S5. I am hoping for the next generation to come out soon but I haven’t heard anything yet. 🎥
S5ii is coming:)
@danielwiednerfotografie663 yep I know, I have pre ordered the S5IIx already, can't wait
@@samuelboatengytme too :)
The intro 😂👌
i didnt even know about the mantis
🤩
SwitchPod over ALL though.. due to the ergonomics.. & overall build quality…
I would disagree, the tripod from PGYTECH doesn't hold as well
2:05 🤣
better video say more.
This must be sponsered, because your review is clearly not objective.
Not sponsored. Just love it. I use it all the time now. Haven’t used the joby since.
Oke my mistake, I take that back. I bought the Gorillapod 3k kit just before I saw your video, so was hoping for some confirmation. ;) I stand by my choice tho, well see. Thanks man!
🙏🏻 nothing wrong with the Gorilla Pods. I think they’re great. This one’s just a little easier. 🎥 thanks for watching
