I'm running out of things to do to keep away Saigon Lock-down Boredom Syndrome ... so I've been getting to know my gear better. Sometimes I forget what all I have and how it's best used.

Haven't been doing much walk & talk vlogging, so I decided to see what would work best. LG v35+ or DJI Pocket Osmo. Because of the lockdown, I couldn't really do a comprehensive test, but I do feel I got enough info now to know what I like best.

The big downside to using a smartphone is that you can't use the much better rear cameras --- too difficult to frame without a screen to see
yourself. I think that is the killer -- a DJI Pocket 1 or 2 seems much better to me. And Follow Mode is just icing on the cake.

Here is the list of gear I used for the test:
DJI Pocket Osmo
LG V35+ Smartphone
PGY Osmo Pocket Phone Holder+
Generic Mini-Quick Release
Feiyu Tech adjustible extension pole
Generic mini-tripod
Boya BY-MM1 Cardioid Shotgun Mic
