This wild DJI Pocket clone with a built-in fan is the crossover I desperately need today — but these are the top vlogging cameras I actually recommend as a camera expert

In a product crossover nobody expected, the Philippines-based brand Goojodoq has launched a 2-in-1 DJI Pocket-style vlogging camera with a fan, which costs around $25 / £20.

It’s a device that I seriously need right now, and I can thank filmmaker Philip Bloom for bringing it to my attention. Not for its camera skills, mind you, but for its cooling properties — it’s super hot in the UK as I write. Like, scorching hot.

As a fan, the device looks decent enough; a 100-speed brushless motor, 2,500mAh battery for a run time between 2-10 hours, plus USB-C charging.

I can’t seriously recommend the device as a camera, however. Details are sparse, but it looks like there’s Full HD 30p video recording, micro SD storage, a gimbal with 180-degree rotation, plus a 1.3-inch display.

And you can only laugh at the idea of using both camera and fan at the same time. Can you imagine it? Lights… camera… hummmmm.

Still, it’s not like it’s a pricey product, with the Philippine Peso pricing conversion working out at around $25 / £20.
