PGYTech MantisPod vs Nebula (Best Vlogging Tripod Confirmed)

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?

[@MRVLTECH]

Kasey, are you gonna cover the upcoming Nikon Z fc? Freaking flippy screen on Nikon, that's something new!

[@Leada1ne]

I've been subbed to Potato Jet & for a few years now..... shout out to him for looking out for a fellow creator showing some love!!💯💯

[@memyselfmarshall]

Only CC can have Potato Jet reach out to a company, on his behalf, and ask them to send him a free tripod for review and he still recommends a different product. Amazing.

[@PoeInTheDitch]

Only an absolute legend could sell me on a tripod with real-world testing done behind a dumpster in some random apartment building parking lot.

[@MonzonMedia]

Congrats on 100K! Great to see a fellow Torontonian make this YT thing work! I'll be looking at this tripod for my wife, she's an aspiring vlogger....lord help us all! hahaha!

[@maxgarner3644]

THIS is the kinda product reviews I'm here for! Informative and hilarious!

[@TheDocDrey]

Now this is the type of review that makes me want to buy the product.

[@angelricci35]

Woooo 100k subscribers! Congrats Kasey! :D love your videos, look forward to seeing how you continue to grow on KZbin!

congrats on 100k well deserved my friend - qlink power!

I’ve been waiting for you to review this finally!!!

Solid review. Congrats on 100k..!

[@DominicHalpin]

Best review on the MantisPod , entertaining as ever and useful.

That was the most clear "subscribe for more videos and I'll see you in the next one" I've heard in at least a year.

[@did4h2k]

100k! well done! also - 14:25 words of wisdom!

[@weedeeohguy]

If I've never mentioned it before,...I really enjoy your videos. Sometimes I'm puzzled. Sometimes informed. But always entertained. You are the son I never had. At least I don't think I had one. Pls be careful crossing the streets in slow mo. You are moving slower than you think, and cars could be at regular speed.

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

What are the odds, I literally just posted a video about this tripod! Small world, it really is a cool little piece of tech. Your reviews continue to be hilariously entertaining, keep it up!

[@CorinChellberg]

I adore your particular brand of self-deprecating professionalism and I would like it to be known to all the brands that your word means a great deal to your viewers; we’re here mainly because you’re a gem but also we can’t stop buying camera gear and it’s your fault.

[@NeilFarrimond]

Tripod looks good and congrats on the 100K!

[@pkomarek]

Easily the most honest camera equipment reviews on the web. Thanks for the conspiracies!

[@MtnXfreeride]

Dont change though... seems like you could easily have brushed over the flaws like many do when they get crap for free. NEVER CHANGE

[@EnzoyZee]

Hahaha your humor is the best bro! 👍😁

[@unclejerry486]

I bought that nebula tripod and I really love it, thank you for the in-depth clip you did on all of those tripods! By the way - will there be a "all I want is the perfect TRI POD YEAH" intro?

[@MySoCalledAdventures]

I actually hate the tripod, but the ball head is simply the best.

[@shreyasjavale3928]

Yeah me too. It’s added steps to do all that. I’m kinda surprised he liked it. There’s innovation but nothing too advanced I think.

[@frankfountain7680]

You just saved me a hundred bucks (US!). Thank you, Casey!

[@CharlieVN]

The mantis has a heavy learning curve, like a Sony menu. One trick to adjust the legs faster is to press both buttons at once to quickly adjust…… and that learning curve…. The phone mount is amazing.

[@martyspandex]

Why were you not in Gerald Undone’s video about camera gear different youtubers’ use?

[@KonSimpl72]

Gerald's legit now, was even mentioned in a recent Verge video - he does not want to be associated with nutjobs.

[@martyspandex]

@@KonSimpl72 haha, that's a bit harsh. It's all part of Casey's schtick to be a little strange. Are you not a fan?

[@KonSimpl72]

@@martyspandex It's just the current lowdown regarding this particular youtube creator sector, nothing to do with 'subjectivity' frankly.

[@JDFloyd]

@@KonSimpl72 - You need to research Gerald Undone's past videos. Gerald did an entire video about Kasey...a very positive video supporting Kasey's humor.

[@KonSimpl72]

@@JDFloyd I am aware of that even though that constitutes kinda old news. I am referring to more recent developments though.

[@TheStudderman]

Gene (aka Potato Jet) has me convinced on the “SwitchPod”. I bought both ball head, and tripod.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

4:20: Kasey discovers how "center of gravity" works. Seriously, this looks like a nifty little tripod thing that could handle my Canon. Full extension only adds about an inch of reach so I wouldn't bother with it. Gonna look into it.

[@ArcticExposure]

I want that PGYTECH tripod! Wonder if I can get it delivered to Norway.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

"I debunked my ass." 😆

[@BoraMustafa]

thank you potatojet

[@librasky]

Seems like if the leg with the hook extended it could accommodate different thickness of walls . It looks like it would only work on a fence and not a brick wall

[@malikwu6444]

Take a look at the ulanzi mt43 tripod, as the pgytech matis tripod isn't available in my country and the price is not affordable. The mt43 looks like a better version of sirui 3t35t featuring all the good about the sirui with panarama function which looks nice

[@allencrider]

The Mantis reminds me of my Ultrapod which is very crude, smaller but costs only $20 or so. I use it for backpacking. 41 grams.

[@slglasius]

watching your vids for a while now, just found out I was not subscribed, ohw shit!

[@BobBunch-ownyourlife]

I like how the bird of prey in the corner always looks like it's about to kill you

Can't wait til Kasey rips on the Nikon Z-fc.

[@ricki-bobby]

Dude you need to eat. You look like you're wilting away before our eyes

[@HesselFolkertsma]

Kudos to the potato

[@Veypurr1]

That tripod will go perfectly with the Ricoh GR3.

[@Donbros]

This tripod is literally for people with sony 16-35, batis 18 or tamron 17-28. Looking to grab one

[@fredio54]

Tamron at the end, too? horrible flare/low contrast into the sun like the 12-32 panasonic tiny kit lens, nice enough until you point it at light, then crap, just like this.

[@KarmaElectronics.]

thats what she said!

[@FranklinScicluna26]

I bought the Nebula after watching your video and now I'm going to buy an Ulanzi ball head with arca swiss for it and it will be way better. Still cheaper than the Mantis.

[@catnamestaken]

Cool

[@991106kk]

Slightly offtop: Did you see the new Nikon Z fc and the Sony ZV-E10? Both with flipping screens. Sony got the active stabilization. Imagine ZV-E10 + new Samyang 12mm F2 AF or Tamron 11-20 f2.8.

[@artistjoh]

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.

[@JoshKaufmanstuff]

I have the Ulanzi version

[@emudojo]

Isn't it the same as using the gorillapod thing? But less practical?

[@dashinarnie]

I think having a rubber grip for your Nebula will help stablise the footage and make you comfortable holding it. Still will be cheaper than the MantisPod

[@hawkkim1974]

oh yeah, walking around with huge heavy lens breaking arms and shoulders. very way to go!

[@djencode]

How do you like that 20mm 1.8. Do you find the focus breathing a problem?

[@cameraconspiracies]

It's noticeable at times.

[@djencode]

@@cameraconspiracies I bought and returned it, thinking the breathing was too extreme for a "vlog" lens but maybe I should reconsider cause doing run and gun video work with a g master zoom is cumbersome. By the way Its all your fault i bought a Sony camera (fx3) thanks for the content, love the show, I watch every video.

When you hit 101k subs, i will hit the like button.

[@eternalsunshine2458]

Hobbit mode... that's the best mode there is. 😁

[@JDFloyd]

"...from possibly within the dumpster..."

[@mrheng562]

I ordered one when Potato Jet put his whole body weight on top of the tripod and it didn’t break. The tripod does take time to get use to, but once your accustomed to it, it’s fast to set up shots. Definitely Alien technology for sure!

[@madedigital]

a solution for the selfy mode just get some longer arms

[@infiveg]

😁😁😁Да, твой юмор мне заходит. Еслиб ты ещё чистил зубы, реально смотрю и прям чувствую толстый налёт на зубах. Муха знает куда лететь😁😁

[@FrancoContreras]

how much they pay you ?

[@kalvin.]

Definitely takes some getting used to, but the innovation and the premium materials makes it wonderful. Wide angle adapter with the ZV1 and you’ve got a lightweight combo for the ages

[@joef479]

Definitely more micro jitters with the Nebula

[@MichaelFleming06]

I always have 19 inches of fun with Camera Conspiracies

[@DigiDriftZone]

I bought the Nebula and replaced the shitty ball head with a Ulanzi arca ball head, amazing upgrade for the Nebula!

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.
