I'm considering buying as Osmo pocket for a cruise I'm taking to Alaska. Main reason being I doubt very much I'll be allowed to fly my Mavic Air from the ship.
I'm looking at the package with the expansion kit, however was wondering what's the best Selfie / tripod to get.
Any kelp very much appreciated.

Hello and good day ShermanFlyer. Thank you for choosing DJI. I hope you will get the best recommendation from our valued DJI members on what is the best selfie / tripod to get. In addition I would recommended to check the PGYTECH Osmo Pocket/Osmo Action Extendable Tripod. This DJI Osmo Pocket accessory is an all-in-one compact design freely transitions between an extension pole and tripod stand. I will be posting a link where in you can check the overview and specifications of the PGYTECH Osmo Pocket/Osmo Action Extendable Tripod. Thank you.

I'm currently using something similar to go pro's 3-way camera mount, and I like the versatility it provides.
However I must add that I found myself using it more with the Osmo Action than the Pocket.

I have used one of these more often than a tripod:

Hi Sherman, probably a more expensive option that the PGY Tech offering would be to get the DJI extension rod that allows you to have control over the Osmo Pocket and then buy a small mini tripod like a Manfrotto Pixi or similar. The extension rod has been great and added another set of options to filming. Good luck on the cruise, hope you get to see some aurora!

Thanks for the recommendation. The extension rod looks like it may be the way to go

Thanks everyone for the recommendations.
Having carried out a fair bit of research on all the options , (it's the engineer in me) I decided to go with the expansion kit and the extension rod. Also the Manfrotto tripod.
Thanks Chris, great recommendation.
Got some Polar Pro ND filters and a hard case for travel on the way as well.

Everything arrives Thursday, so got a few days of practice before I leave for my trip.
Just got to find a way to hide all the bits from the wife

Good luck for the cruise, am sure you’ll get amazing footage. This site will give you email alerts for any aurora activity. Look forward to seeing your footage. https://aurorawatch.ca/
Btw, the extension rod has a small battery that is charged by the Osmo Pocket, so you may need to charge the OP fully and then leave it connected to the extension rod for a little while for the battery in the rod to be fully charged....not sure that the instructions are super clear on that.
Good luck!
