ULANZI MT-44 Extendable Phone Tripod, 59" Selfie Stick Vlog Stand with 2 in 1 Phone Clip, 360° Ball Head Camera-Tripod for iPhone Sony Canon Action Camera, Lightweight for Travel

We got this for our wedding and we’re not disappointed at all. I was surprised at how sturdy it was and the functionality was great. It continues to be useful for when we travel because it’s so compact and I love using the remote control to take selfies

The ULANZI MT-44 tripod is extremely versatile, serving as both a tripod and a selfie stick, offering multifunctional utility for solo content creators like myself. Its built-in tripod base provides good stability, especially at lower extensions, while its extendable design, reaching up to 59", offers flexibility in capturing the perfect shot from various angles. It’s great pairing it with the DJI OSMO Pocket line. Both are small and easy to carry. While the OSMO Pocket can act like a stationary camera-man with its tracking, it’s the ULANZI MT-44 that gives it the lift it needs to reach eye height. Also, it’s really easy to walk and vlog with the OSMO Pocket using the MT-44 as a selfie stick.For smartphones, its built-in smartphone mount includes a cold shoe for additional accessories. I’ve found it great for blogging, capturing B-roll, or sitting by the beach filming a sunset. The beach experience did reveal a caveat about the unit that should be fairly obvious, which is the more the tripod is extended, the more unstable it becomes. However, I was walking around town all day and didn’t want to lug a larger more stable tripod, so I kept the ULANZI MT-44 at a lower extension and turned on Action Mode on my iPhone to capture well stabilized footage of the sunset.

More than meets my expectations.. very sturdy design feels very well built in the hand. Extends as long as a normal tripod and seems very sturdy when setups. I love the way the phone holder rotates, upwards or downwards so you don't have to unclip anything and remove it. It's a complete all-in-one unit for a full size camera or a smartphone without any removable parts. Excellent design. Well worth the money and would recommend to anyone looking for this type of tripod!

so I have a few of their products and fell in love with the ease and speed with which they can be deployed. I purchased this tripod/selfie stick for a family member and was disappointed enough to remove 1 star from what would have been 5 stars. The product is well built!!!!!! 5 stars well built and designed perfectly aside from what I assume are quality control issues. The tripod base is excellent but hard to open as the bumps that lock the feet are too tall. I filed mine down because the sliding collar locks making the little bumps unnecessary. The only other issue is with the tightness of the telescopic sections they just do not want to expand or collapse easily which is good if you are putting a bit more weight on it but will slow you down, easy fix a few spots of lube and it's just like the ones I purchased years ago. I still recommend this product I have no problem taking the 30 seconds it took to make it right I hope they earn that 5th star back but until then I expect to need to fix these slight issues myself

I have tried so many different portable tripods, and this one is definitely the best. Of course, with the portable tripod, it's never going to be as stable as a normal tripod because fully extended, the device on top will shake back-and-forth quite a bit. Obviously, if you don't touch the device, it will stabilize, but if you're trying to get super steady shots, this is not the tripod for you. What I ended up using this tripod for is actually placing my YouTube lights on top because I don't need those to be nearly as stable as my camera. This is the only tripod I use that can extend as far as it can and has a super adjustable ball mount on top. This is key because you can get any angle you need, and you can tilt it really far up or really far down, which I am constantly using. When fully collapsed, it is super small, and I'm actually able to keep them attached to my YouTube lights and just fold everything together and do a really small, compact package.

The media could not be loaded. I was watching a YouTube video and someone said to buy this and I said "OK!"Glad I did as it's a great addition to my Osmo Pocket 3 set up. I have a "high end" tripod that I've been using but it just looks ridiculous to carry that around with the Osmo.Before I get to pros and cons: This tripod is deceiving in terms of its size. So much in fact that when I received it I thought it was missing a piece. In my brain there was no way it was going to extend to 5 feet given how compact it is when closed. I was wrong. It's great.Pros:-Very compact. Can fit in a bag easily-Extends up to 59"-Sturdy for items like and iPhone or DJI Osmo Pocket-Price, you can't beat it.-Easy to set up, close and adjustCons:-Makes for a clunky selfie stick. In a pinch it can work but the handle size and weight are not what I'm used to in a selfie stick. Not that it's heavy but selfie sticks usually have thinner handles and weight next to nothing.-Opening the base isn't as smooth as I would like for it to be. It's not hard it's just not a seamless as the rest of the functions.Overall this is well worth the money and gives me the ability to trust that my device won't fall over all while ditching my massive tripod that makes me looks ridiculous when I carry it out in public.
