MT-79

I had to have this replaced as the first one I received the end of the box was smashed as if dropped from a considerable height or bashed head on against something solid. The second rod segment from the top was very difficult to pull out or push in. Whether this was from damage or came from the factory like that I don't know. The segments on the replacement all push in or pull out with about the same amount of force. This tripod/light stand is everything as advertised except it does not have a 360 degree ball head. The stand head tilts only 90 degrees in two directions (180 degrees total). There is no ball head. This is obvious from the photos. Pros: very compact when closed up. Extends to over 70 inches. Sturdy construction. Rotating knob for the 1/4-20 screw - you don't have to spin your gear or the entire stand to mount your gear. Can be used as a light stand, camera tripod, selfie-stick/extension rod. cons: rather heavy when using as a selfie-stick or extension rod putting strain on my wrists - may not be a problem with stronger wrists. Thread part on the legs is plastic and the threaded collar is aluminum - in my experience this combination in time leads to the plastic threads stripping - time will tell. When closed the legs clip together tightly and I find it difficult to unclip them - may loosen in time. The head is mainly plastic and you need to pull on the head to start extending the center posts - will the head break and come out of the center post? Despite these concerns I give this stand/tripod five stars for its overall design and functionality. It is mostly aluminum in construction and quite sturdy and stable with lower extension. After I add a panning ball head this will be prefect for my smaller camcorders.

I use this for watch shows on my tablet while I’m running. Fits in bag for work trips and doubles as a camera holder for zoom meetings on the go. It’s a little bigger than I’d like, but that’s the price of having something that extends all the way out.

This is useful as a light stand (as intended) and a tripod and monopod for a smallish cameras. It is heavy (ish), solidly built all aluminum with good knobs that tighten everything up. It can get pretty tall, but it becomes pretty flimsy at max hight with a larger camera than a point and shoot. The head is just a simple swivel/rocker type. I added a ball head and it works great. And it can be used as a club if your attacked by a bear. It's that durable and heavy. But as a, super sized selfie stick, heavy duty monopod, and useful tripod all in one this is a great tool to have in your kit. And it's at a good price for the quality. I recommend it.

i love this face-tracking tripod for content and UGC creation. It is easy to use, portable, I can take it with me into the car, travel with it on a plane, and use it completely expanded, as a selfie stick, and I love to shrink it all the way down and set it on a table and use it. It has a remote that is attached to the unit, and this is useful! I love all of Ulanzi's products to be honest. I have a couple more of their tools for content creation.

This thing has been a fantastic addition to my few weeks set up. The length of this thing is incredible.

Very impressed with this stand for what I need it for. Holding up smaller, lightweight things like hair lights, a quick eye-level phone shot, action cameras or even reflectors. It goes incredibly high and compacts down small. Can also be used as a selfie-stick, though I haven't tried it, it will make a great one when I need it for that. I will be buying a second one so I have a pair of these for all sorts of handy things. Build quality seems excellent as well! If you put anything too heavy on it and extend it way up high and have it leaning 90 degrees (like a tube light tilted that way for example), it will bend to the side but, don't use it for something that heavy, use a more robust stand. But even that same tube light mounted straight up holds just fine all the way extended, which is higher than a lot of regular light stands can go!

bought this to use with the Osmo Pocket 3 camera since it had a 1/4-20 thread. This is very well made and sturdy enough for what I am intending to use it for. These are described as light stands but I find it useful as a easily transportable tripod to use with the pocket 3. it telescopes almost too tall for what I will use it for but it is nice to know that I will have a little room if needed. The base opens up into a tripod and you can easily adjust how far the feet are spread out. It may have a tough time on unlevel surfaces but since the pocket 3 has it's own built in gimble, I am not worried about having it on a completely level surface since the camera will adjust for that. Overall it is a very compact and useful system.

I bought this on a great sale, but decided I didn't really need it before opening it, so I returned it. Right after that, I was in a situation where I regretting returning it as it would have been prefect. But it wasn't on sale again, so I wound up buying it again anyway. It's great for hand-holding a small on or off camera flash, and I love how short it is and how long it can go. I use it for lighting backgrounds, but I can also use it for location shooting when I mount a FlashPoint/Godox AD200 on it (off to one side or the other). I packs up small, is lightweight, easy to extend and lock, and sits solidly on the ground. So it saves me from one more light stand when I go out on a shoot. However, will not give you the confident holding power for a larger light (like an AD600) in any situation where it might be blown or knocked over, nor will it hold something with a softbox large than 12x12.

Very good tripod and selfie stick holds my panasonic lumix g100d nicely good height easy to use quick to set up which is what you need when on the go.

Muito bom, um dos melhores tripés que já tive para usar dentro de casa. Acredito que não tenha estabilidade suficiente para usar na rua, parece que se bater um vento ele cai, mas utilizo em cima da mesa e é ótimo.

من افضل الاستاندات الي اشتريتها وربي شي جااامد وقوي ويتحمل ، والاجمل طوله مترين تقريبا اعلق فيه اضاءة لما اطلع برا وتجي خرافية

Light weight yet strong and stable. The perfect light stand on the go

This has been an excellent product for capturing couple photos of just my wife and me. We always struggled to take pictures together, but now it’s so convenient. The build quality is solid, and it offers good stability—I even used this monopod in a small stream, and it remained stable. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a smartphone mount or a Bluetooth clicker, so you’ll need to purchase those separately.
