The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 with a Teleprompter Holder

Yep, I think it's great, but I did hit one problem as you'll see in the video.

But first let me give a shout out to Manny Ortiz, whose video showing this is what persuaded me to buy one. His idea of using it for holding a phone with a teleprompter app was genius as far as I'm concerned.

Of course you can just use your phone as a bigger monitor with this setup. You don't have to use it as a teleprompter, but it's pretty handy if you want to use it that way.

One thing I will say - and you'll be able to see in the demo part of the video - is that it's fairly obvious that you're looking down at the phone screen.  I guess practice helps with that, but Manny actually talks about wearing sunglasses. Personally I think it looks weird to cover your eyes when talking into the camera - what do you think?

This little item was fairly cheap, for what it is. If you only ever handhold for vlogging then you wouldn't have a problem even if your copy had the fault mine did.  But if you want to use it on a tripod, make sure you check out that tripod screw mount while you're in the refund period!

What do you think of the item? Would you use it in your vlogging, or other videos? I do like it, but I need to get a copy that doesn't have the same problem.
