Multiple Shooting Modes
By utilizing multiple features of the MantisPod together, a total of 6 different shooting modes are possible. In addition to vlogging and livestreaming, these modes can help when shooting portraits, taking time-lapse photos, conducting video chat interviews, and much more.
- Portrait Mode: A standard 3-leg tabletop tripod setup with your device in landscape orientation.
- Low-Angle Mode: Lowers the 3-leg tabletop option so the tripod is nearly flat for low angle perspective
- High-Angle Mode: Allows raised, extended legs to orient a device for high angle perspective imaging.
- Mantis Mode a short hook extends from one tripod leg, allowing the tripod to hang from fences, railings, glass partitions, and more. NOTE: Surfaces should be no more than 3.5" thick and the other 2 legs must be set against surfaces for stability.
- Handheld Mode: Squeeze the legs together for a configuration that lets you more easily shoot on the move. It can quickly convert to Elevated Tripod mode without altering device orientation.
- Briefcase Mode: Orient the hand grip configuration like the handle of a briefcase with the camera suspended below for low angle perspective.
