Action 5 Pro + Charging Handle: Does vertical mode actually work?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking at getting the Osmo Action Multifunctional Charging Handle for my Action 5 Pro, but I’ve noticed a weird trend in reviews: almost nobody uses it in vertical mode.
Is there a physical issue with this setup? From what I can tell:
- When mounted vertically in the protective frame, the USB-C port ends up on top.
- The handle’s charging cable looks too short to reach that far.
For those who own this combo:
- Does the cable actually reach the port in vertical mode?
- Do you have to mount the camera "upside down" to make it work?
- Is it stable, or does it feel too top-heavy?
Would love to hear if this is a practical setup for vlogging or if I should just stick to a standard extension rod. Thanks!
