Pocket Rig 2 coming out soon

Apparently they have gotten rid of the adjustment knobs and switch to what they call constant friction joints. It looks good and from the pictures (I'm in china right now so watching the video isn't working for me) it looks much more sturdy than the previous model (a knockpff of which I was just about to buy when I saw this). I have been contemplating getting an em5 mark 2 for shooting handheld video at festivals here in china with the 3 new voigtlanders I am getting. But if this works pretty well I may just save 700 dollars and get it instead and shoot on my gx7 or g6. Just at first glance how does everyone think it compares to the first model and do you think it will fix some of the version 1 issues?

Anyone found "copies" of these online?

You can do some research. One time it had been plenty of similar rigs.

I did, but am unable to find one. In fact, i found one of the older topics on this board with a product that you had linked to. That is out of stock now though..

$280 + Shipping and other fees is just too much.

Just check aliexpress and do not hurry.

I do no think it has any relation to this topic.

To be short - avoid such shit. Better look at good cheap rigs like Fotga.

Howdy, Stranger!
