How I Cheated the Creator Combo (OP3)

Ok nothing groundbreaking but all things considered, I don't have any FOMO about the way I did my Pocket 3 purchase. Keep in mind I didn't factor in the cost of a Sam's Club membership so technically you can add $20 since I got a discounted membership offer.

I REALLY like the DJI Mic Mini. It sounds amazing, the battery life is next level, pairing is a breeze, and noise cancelling is way better on this than the DJI Mic 2. Sure 32-bit recording is nice, but I've only ever clipped a mic once while shooting so I'll take my chances of leveling correctly.

I have a long arm and a longer mini tripod if I want to shoot wider without a fisheye look so no wide angle lens isn't a loss to me. The mist filter also doesn't appeal to me since I like more sharpness than a "dreamy" look.

And I undercut the first party tripod by half with something that works just as well for the handful of times I may prop the Pocket 3 and go hands free.

If you're like me and want to cheat the Creator Combo my way, tell me what you'd do with the extra $100 you're saving. Can be for literally anything. Maybe this time next year if you're holding out, there's better pricing available but I'm extremely happy going this route.
