Cool video! Do you think one of these is enough for a small room filming myself playing music for Instagram reels?

I bought this product after watching a lot of videos that claimed that this is what you need for a lightweight “tripod” solution for travel, vlogging etc. first of all let’s call it what it is: it’s a glorified selfie stick and NOT a tripod. Under normal circumstances it can hold easily your phone and a small compact camera. I wouldn’t put anything heavier to it. Secondly it shakes like hell. I put my compact camera on it for a night shot and I had to put a 10 sec timer and it still kept shaking. Also the more you raise the telescopic column the more shake you introduce and it takes more time to stabilise. Now if you introduce wind into the equation forget about it. It becomes unusable. Even by attaching a phone to it, it becomes like a sail that catches wind and it shakes!!! If you take it to Greek islands on holiday during the meltemi season, which are extremely powerful winds, then this thing is simply unusable. I tried shooting a timelapse for a home video and it messed it up. I had to hold it with my hands to stabilise it and of course the footage is shaky and it shows. So take these comments into consideration before you buy it. For me this purchase was wasted money. I could have used my joby tripod instead and find places to give it the height that it’s missing.

Thank you, James! Nice video and helpful information.

One of the most informative comparisons! Great video man. Especially the removable ball head is a crazy feature!

pocket 3 is better

nice info

Thx! Will go for Ulnazi

Do you know if You can use the 30 cm Ulanzi softbox with Smallrig RC 60b? It also has a mini bowens mount. Thanks!

So ive got one and it's truly is a masterpiece in design, however i found one huge downside. It has only one button that is used both for taking a pic and turning the thing off, so a long tap doesnt record a short video and it would be way more convenient. You stated in vid that it isnt that sturdy as a tripod, and you were 200% right. I still dont think that there a better thing as small as this one, but im so used to 5-10 second videos i sometimes take instead of photos, im a bit sad it doesnt do that. Thank you again

IM SO GLAD IVE MET YOU! Video quality is incredible, it's like a masterpiece in editing. And it's exactly what ive needed! ive been searching for the perfect tripod for 10 hours by now, you gave me the answer. Comparision vid of jj02 and ma26 was an incredible addition to the short series. I wish you the best, man, your content is awesome

I ordered this blindly for my zv-e10 and I am happy to watch this video because it was a good decision for me

I feel this way about my iPhone 15 pro. Very easy to use. Action cams are more versatile though so likely better to use.

I’ve a larger than average head (helmet XXL) that results in a much thicker neck. May I know which one is larger and what’s the internal diameter of the larger one? I bought generic ones from taobao and they are chokers on my neck 😂

hi, great vdeo. the handle looks big. want to buy it, but wondering if its too big for my hand. can you measure the diameter of the handle please? thanks again

Straight to the point, this is exactly what I was looking for before buying the AS-L30 with LT005. Thank you for this video 👍

Your video is good. Thank you.

An old video, but well presented. The way you demonstrated motion blur was very good I used to have a Pentax SLR, numerous lenses and filters etc so knew all about this sort of thing. Now though, probably like many folk I just use a phone to take pictures, but sometimes the exposure is difficult. I suppose I might have to get a cage then I'll have the ability of using ND filters. Trouble is I have an old Nokia phone (7+) so maybe I should upgrade before spending money on a cage.

Came back to this, to see the difference between Pocket 2 and 3. Honestly, the Pocket 2 shines when there’s not too bright light. Which I agree with your reviews. I think due to shutter speed limit, Pocket 2 needs ND Filter.

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

Thank you so much for this 💯 perfect

I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

Please do comparable lux diffrence on L023/28 to L024.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful information.

That charger is really cool. It works better as a home unit due to its squareness. It would be quite bulky in a bag and pocket carry is out? Thanks for showing!!!!!!

Thank you

Can you use it for GoPro with media mod?

what brand is the wind cover on the mic?

sacraficing equipment to make great review videos! lol What camera did you use for filming outside?

I love it ,already order 😊

Your content keeps us from making purchasing mistakes. Thank you!

Best!

Jameses is one of my favorite vlogger. So honest and entertaining as well. Hope you will be huge someday. = )

Thank you!

Do you like it as a tripod? It's looks quite compact! Do you put another ball head on it?

Woww Thank you for the info very helpful 🙂

Thank you for showing us this gimbal’s features.

if the "ballhead" was removeable , it would be a prefect tripod for 360 cameras. still, interesting product, and good review Mr James !

I wonder if it's convenient to take photos of food on the table?

Looks like iPhone footage to me, that silky movie-style picture is gone.

I've used the telesin neck mount with the gopro mount. I actually broke the mount trying to Unlock it. I'm sure it was user error but I'm afraid to purchase again though I DO need a neck mount for better POV with our Pocket 3. Hmmm... what to do what to do......

You are the best! Thank you!

Totally agree with you. It would be perfect if they allow you to remove the phone mount and swop with another mount.

This is a solid video and deserves more love

Best video about this product!!

Can it be use for unboxing videos like the camera facing down?

Have you tried using this tripod alone to shoot top-view videos, if that makes sense. 😊

Excellent review! How does this compare to the Ulanzi SK-04 in terms of stability? Is it shaky to attach a phone for video filming at its max height at 2mtr? Dou prefer this over the SK-04?

hey james thanks for the review does the telescopic pole of the mt-44 retract if the camera weight load is too heavy, like if I have a full frame camera with mics etc ? I hear you mentioned that there's a twist lock at the bottom but from what I can gather it only locks the tripod feet in place is that right? Thanks

What prevents those telescopic section from folding back. Is there any lock mechanism?

i hads puchased on
