A curious little product
Let me start by saying this is a great quality product. All-metal, ergonomic, refined. But it's a lot of money for such a small thing. Is it worth it?
- It helps the Pocket 3 stand up a touch more stablely than it does alone
- It provides a 1/4 20 mounting screw on the base.... which ter pocket 3 has anyway
- It provides a USB-C charging point.... which the Pocket 3 has anyway.
- It provides a conversion option to an action-cam mounting system.
So really, the value here is the last bit - an action cam mount. They do give you the mount too. Disappointly it's the standard brittle cheapish-ish plastic mount that seems to be generic, rather than something if a higher quality like the base plate. Frankly it feels like a generic one they purchased elsewhere and bundled in the box.
The action cam mount is sping loaded to snap back to flat. It can be a little difficult to pull both out because as you let go of one side to open the other, the first one snaps close again. A button to flip them out would be nice.
