In the last 12 months, mechanical drivetrians have been seeing a massive burst of popularity, and for good reason - they're the best they have ever been - thanks to brands like Vivo and Madrone. Mechanical shifting is reliable, easy to fix, and provides crisp, instant shifting, and some of the more bespoke options on the market even add a touch of class to a bike build, thanks to their refined, yet utilitarian aesthetics.
DJI's Osmo Pocket 3, launched back in 2023, has been an incredible hit with vloggers and YouTubers, thanks to its good video recording quality, gimbal stabilization, and pocketable form factor. DJI is expected to come out with a highly anticipated successor any day now, but in the meantime it looks like it's getting some new competition. vivo has confirmed to Chinese media outlets that it is working on a vlogging camera of its own.
