Thanks for showing this intriguing new Mantis Pod. PGYTECH created a hard act to follow with their original Mantis Pod Pro. I mainly use mine for action cameras, but sometimes I'll use it for very low macro shots with my Nikon Z6 and 105 mm lens. The new model seems to be in some ways even more versatile than the original, but seeing it struggle to hold even a small vlogging system shows that it is quite limited in what it can support. There are so many tiny action camera tripods on the market. What made the original Mantis Pod Pro special is that it could also hold bigger systems in a pinch. I hope PGYTECH continues to innovate in this space.
Excellent point and really I couldn’t agree more! I have the original in my bag always. I have put so many things on it. I do like the Z for my action cameras and sneaking mics into weird places but it’s still not as good as the original. Thanks for bringing this up!
Thanks for the review.

so Zve-10 and sigma 18-50 supposed to be safe right ?
Is the caplock mount actually a cold shoe? SO can i use other cold shoe 1/4” adapters in the mount?
How is MANTISPID Z better than MANTISPOD 2.0?
Mantispod z is not built for camera or dlsr only action camera... Mantispod 2 is build for camera
