Could this FINALLY replace the GorillaPod? | Joby vs Mantispod Pro

Which is the best tripod for vlogging, The PGYTECH Mantispod Pro or Joby Gorilla Pod 3k pro kit? It's difficult to choose the right vlogging tripod for you because there's so much to choose from now. Some can be expensive and some can be unreliable and just because the pros use something, doesn't mean it's right for YOU... In this comparison, I will help you decide between the ever-popular, Joby GorillaPod and the fairly new PGYTech, Mantispod Pro.

Climbing on the frame with your bag still on makes the video. Out-standing.

[@SamHolland]

😂 thanks! 🙏🏻🎥

[@DannyBligh]

Such a great accessory to have. Literally use mine daily now

[@SamHolland]

It’s one of those that you don’t realise how good it is until you use it 🤩🎥💪🏻

[@HiethGeorge]

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

[@SamHolland]

😂 thanks for your cameo! 🙏🏻🎥

[@HiethGeorge]

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

[@DominicHalpin]

This is my go to handheld tripod , been using this a while, so far its been perfect.

[@SamHolland]

It’s great isn’t it

[@audarren]

Content here are getting better. Cheers

[@SamHolland]

Thank you

[@AaronOverEverything]

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…

[@ParsclickTV]

Sam where is this rain forest it look beautiful?

[@AlSuChess]

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!

[@SamHolland]

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

[@Floorslug]

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?

[@pauljakeman]

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.

[@SamHolland]

😂 thanks brother. Yeh it’s an amazing place 🌲

[@Janethecrazy]

i have 1 mantispod pro too and super love it!

[@BenjaminCutting]

Great vid again mate. Gonna have to invest now 🙌🏻

[@SamHolland]

Thank you! 🤩 great purchase 🙏🏻🎥

[@GuitarandMusicInstitute]

If anyone has been or knows about Scotland, the last thing on earth a product would be called is a Joby....believe me!

[@SamHolland]

😬

[@geoandbert1454]

😂😂😂😂

[@geoandbert1454]

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

[@peterfritzphoto]

I’ve used half a dozen mini pods, and the MantisPod is definitely the best. I take it everywhere. 👍

[@SamHolland]

That’s amazing. It’s so good isn’t it. I was well surprised

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@SamHolland Yep, it’s bloody good. Sturdy, too.

[@sztygowski]

I'm just wondering about one, only without a pro

[@turgs1]

I have a Nikon D500 and want something small to take videos... am thinking of this dji

[@MarlonAndGabriela]

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.

[@KateMalinovskaya]

thanks for the video :)

[@MBrown]

Sold! Gonna get one of these

[@SamHolland]

Nice! 🤩👌🏻🎥

[@peterfritzphoto]

Excellent review, BTW. Faff-free. 👍

[@SamHolland]

Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 0% faff! 😂🎥

[@yourlittlehelper8444]

Thank you :)

[@SamHolland]

Thank YOU 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@samuelboagraphy]

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? 😏😏

[@SamHolland]

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. 🎥

[@danni0510]

S5ii is coming:)

[@samuelboagraphy]

@danielwiednerfotografie663 yep I know, I have pre ordered the S5IIx already, can't wait

[@danni0510]

@@samuelboagraphyme too :)

[@NaqiRaza]

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

[@axcis]

Hi Sam, Does the plate able to use on Ulanzi F38 quick release system you review before?

[@SamHolland]

Hey. Unfortunately not! 😩 that’s the only downside to this for me

[@shymaaelbanna]

The intro 😂👌

[@the-creative-block]

i didnt even know about the mantis

[@SamHolland]

🤩

[@AaronOverEverything]

SwitchPod over ALL though.. due to the ergonomics.. & overall build quality…

[@Rafa-nq7vq]

0:48 is that black mist pro filter or panasonic autofocus LOL

[@haucowby8957]

2:05 🤣

[@AbellTo]

that's cool

[@thegixlad27]

I would disagree, the tripod from PGYTECH doesn't hold as well

[@johnclay7644]

better video say more.

[@thomasdevos4732]

This must be sponsered, because your review is clearly not objective.

[@SamHolland]

Not sponsored. Just love it. I use it all the time now. Haven’t used the joby since.

[@thomasdevos4732]

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!

[@SamHolland]

🙏🏻 nothing wrong with the Gorilla Pods. I think they’re great. This one’s just a little easier. 🎥 thanks for watching
