2 days left to get the world’s lightest 3 in 1 tripod on Kickstarter (click here). SonyAlphaBlog tested the tripod and concluded:

The Heipi Tripod (319$ / 399$ retail) is an excellent compact travel tripod . Very good build quality , very good ergonomics, very stable , fully featured (spike, smartphone holder, , sub tripod…)
Compared to the Peakdesign , it takes the same approach but implements it in a different way, with a smarter 3 pillars centre column , better rigidity , better ballhead, a sub tripod , better ergonomics and a much lower price
Highly recommended

Preorders: Bhphoto, Amazon, Adorama, GetOlympus. Amazon EU, FotoKoch, FotoErhardt, WexUK.

DigitalcameraWorld tested the OM-5 and concluded:

The OM System OM-5 is a magnificent midrange camera that offers flagship features and all-purpose performance in a compact, affordable package. It has been criticized in some quarters for not offering the same sea change as the OM-1, but for our money this offers the OM-1’s coolest tricks in a much more pocketable body – making this your perfect daily driver when you want to go on an adventure (or you want to be prepared for one) with a camera that’s there if you need it, and doesn’t compromise on quality.

4 days left to get the world’s lightest 3 in 1 tripod on Kickstarter (click here). TheSlantedLens just compared it with the popular Peak Design tripod:

Peter Forsgård:

OM SYSTEM OM-5 was not well received. I comment on some of the disappointments you had.

Robin Wong:

Micro Four Thirds was probably the most daring and innovative when it comes to pushing the imaging boundaries of camera making. Over the years Panasonic and Olympus have released unique products that challenged the norm of camera stereotypes. I am exploring some of these products in this video.

Dpreview digged a bit more into the OM-5 features and said:

In conclusion, the OM System OM-5 might not be the most exciting new camera we’ve seen in 2022, it retains many special attributes. The fact that this didn’t grow a DSLR-shaped grip is actually kind of a blessing in a time that cameras are getting bigger and meatier. It’s nice to have this kind of retro-styled option that’s on the smaller side, has a long list of features, that retains and furthers OM System’s dedication to weathersealing.

• Faster processor
• Starry Sky AF, LiveND, and Handheld High-Res Shot
• IP53 rated weathersealing
• Improved image stabilization
• Reinforced bottom plate/tripod socket
• Native UVC/UAC webcam support
• Vertical orientation video shooting
• Uncapped video recording

It’s clear that these minor updates won’t make Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III owners run out to their local camera store to buy this as an upgrade. But as a camera for new shooters looking for something small that can do it all, the OM System OM-5 has a lot to offer.
