This expansion bracket for the Pocket 3 camera is a thoughtfully designed and durable accessory, enhancing both flexibility and usability. Here are some of the key benefits and considerations:

Benefits:
- Secure Fit: The bracket fits snugly on the camera, though the optional hand strap must be removed for it to fit.
- Durable Build: Made of solid plastic with metallic hinges, ensuring both sturdiness and reliability.
- Ease of Use: It offers easy access to controls (joystick and trigger) despite their slightly recessed positions.
- Accessory Flexibility: Allows attachment of an external microphone or fill-in light via a cold-shoe connector, expanding shooting options.
- Tripod Mounting: Provides more flexible mounting options than the camera’s built-in 1/4-inch adapter.

Considerations:
- Case Compatibility: The bracket must be detached to fit the camera back into its protective case.
- Hand Strap: Requires removal to attach the bracket.

Overall, this is a versatile accessory for enhancing the Pocket 3's shooting potential, particularly for those needing additional stability and accessory options.
