PGYTECH MANTISPOD 2.0 Bluetooth Mini Camera Vlogging Tripod Small Travel Flexible DSLR Pocket Stand Video Vlog Desktop Shooting Selfie Mount with Remote Control

The PGYTech MantisPod 2.0 is a versatile and compact tripod for me. It is designed to be lightweight and portable, making it ideal for outdoor and indoors photography and videography. This has replaced my Joby gorilla pod and has become my one and only vlogging tripod.It features a sturdy plastic construction and a versatile ball head that allows for easy adjustments. Additionally, it has a system that helps you serecure your camera for extra protection. Did i say it comes with a remote control that wirelessly allows you to operate your camera?One of the things I love is its compact size and foldable design, making it easy to carry in a camera bag or backpack.In terms of performance, the MantisPod 2.0 provides solid stability and support for your camera and the ball head is easy to adjust. And of course, the "mantis feature allows you to hang it in non traditional ways.Highly recommend this especially at the price point, its a MUST for all photographers/videographers out there.

This device has many uses but requires an understanding of what it is best at, such as being lightweight, versatile, having a remote control, hanging off of something, and being capable of getting the job done without a lot of fuss. I have used this device for a couple of months, taken it out in the field, used it on a walkabout, and enjoyed its simplicity and ease. The weird thing about it is how stiff the joints are; moving the legs requires more force than usual. This will all loosen up over time. Other than that, the mantis performs well. I have been able to not use a gimbal occasionally by using this device.

awesome

The media could not be loaded. tldr; Mantis Pod is a must buy for video makers especially vloggers, way better than the Gorilla pod. Honestly if I had to pick one, I prefer the Pro over the 2.0 but the 2.0 is very compelling especially for the remote and price.Mantis Pod 2.0 vs Pro2.0 pros:-Cheaper-Lighter-Wireless remote-Wider foot print for better stability2.0 cons:-cheaper plastic material (but still good)-phone holder not included-knob ball head loosens much faster and more annoying to spin than the latch imo-no wrist strap loop-no extended modePro pros:-slightly taller-better material-better ball head experience with latch vs knob-can go into extended modePro cons:-no remote-much more expensive-comes with phone holder

I was super hyped to receive the MantisPod 2.0! I am finishing up Graphic Design school and want to become a content creator, so I needed a portable solution for vlogging, and the MantisPod 2.0 is perfect! The tripod has several ways that it can be held or put on a surface, and the inclusion of a cold shoe mount on the side for a light or microphone is a nice touch. I love the optional remote as well. This tripod makes vlogging much easier! I highly recommend picking this one up!

Bought it for my full frame camera however had to use it with my old Jobby ball head since the one that came with the tripod couldn’t hold the camera once I applied a little angle degree to the ball head.

I like this tripod overall, but I was disappointed to find out the remote is not compatible with my Sony 7aiv camera. I was able to pair it successfully and see the remote listed in the camera configs, but when I press the buttons, nothing works. I see the bluetooth icon on the camera LCD flashes but nothing happens. I came across a page that listed all the compatible cameras and mine was not in there. I'm not sure if they're gonna update the firmware in the future (if that is even possible), but this is a bit of a bummer, specially because my camera model just came out a couple of years ago.

The media could not be loaded. Its absolutely incredible, you can get so many different shots, tripod has so many different ways to be placed, hanged and held. Very lightweight and the Bluetooth remote is fantastic.

Flexibel einsetzbar, leicht und gut zu transportieren. Funktioniert auch mit SLRs.

+ mały i lekki+ stabilny+ tryb "mantis", który pozwala na niestandardowe umieszczenie statywu+ solidny+ dobrze sobie radzi nawet ze sprzętem, do którego podpięty jest ciężki obiektyw-głowica kulowa mogłaby być lepsza i mieć blokadę-pilot czasem się wyłącza po bezczynności i trzeba go ponownie parować

Después de haber tenido el producto en mi lista de deseos durante bastante tiempo me decidí a comprarlo aprovechando una oferta.Desencanto total.1. El desbloqueo de las patas para abrirlas es complejito y necesitas usar las dos manos y mejor apoyar el trípode si lleva la cámara colocada.2. Lo que me hizo DEVOLVER el trípode es que su modo "mantis" no funciona como debería. Mí cámara está muy por debajo del peso límite, menos de 1 Kg. Cualquier intento de colocar el modo mantis, las patas no aguantan en la posición en que se colocan y cede hasta la apertura total, limitando las opciones.Me ha transmitido muy poco fiabilidad para confiar la cámara. Y sin el modo mantis no me aporta nada respecto a otros trípodes pequeños que tengo tipo gorila o un Ulanzi sencillo, menos por el precio.Si lo vas a usar con algo muy ligero tipo cámara de acción o móvil quizás sí que te sirva, pero para una cámara, no lo recomiendo. Lástima.

For the last few weeks, I've been using this mantispod pro and am very impressed with the design and performance.- it is made of quality metal, rubber and plastic- extremely lightweight and takes very little space in the camera bag.- comes with a carry bag and a lanyard.- It has a ball head on top and a cold shoe mount on the side, to attach the camera and a mic or light.- it allows me to use it as handheld grip, normal angle tabletop tripod, low angle tripod or as a unique hanging 'mantispod' using the foldable hook inbuilt.- mantispod comes with a built- in good quality phone holder that comes handy while traveling.- I daily runner is a Sony a6100 with a sigma 50mm lens and a cheap rechargeable light, which fits well without any issue.- I believe this will be a great option for street, food, travel photographers and vloggers to get more level of independence and versatility.Negatives- way expensive than the regular tripods or gorillapods.

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di più per il costo così elevato. Non faceva al mio caso, reso.
