Reasons to buy Ulanzi Extendable Tripod (Ulanzi MT-08)
What I will post this time is that I was planning to shoot some videos with my smartphone while traveling, and I thought I needed a tripod that could shoot with my smartphone standing up, so I considered a stand that can be mounted on a gimbal, but I think the weight of the gimbal is too heavy. Normaly weighs of gimbal about 500g, it is not only carried for a day or two, but it feels burdensome on a schedule, so it is an extended tripod from Ulanzi that I found while looking for a product that can be used for multiple purposes and has a light weight.
I bought it to use as a tripod, selfie stick, and gimbal substitute while carrying it lightly because it was too heavy to carry a gimbal when traveling. You can make a purchase on aliexpress.
Ulanzi is a Hong Kong company that manufactures vlog products, mainly manufacturing and selling gimbals, tripods, and lighting devices. So, I thought it wouldn't be bad in terms of product quality.
As you can see from the appearance and user reviews, it is a product with an emphasis on portability, so even when stretched to the maximum, the length is rather short. However, as recent smartphones support wide-angle or ultra-wide angles, I thought it would be a good way to use it as a selfie stick.
I bought it as a substitute for a gimbal, but it does not have a function to prevent shake like a gimbal.

Ulanzi Extendable Tripod (Ulanzi MT-08) Box Appearance
The box design has a simple overall design. The material of the box looks a cheap , but considering the price of the product, I don't think it's bad.
The holder for fixing the smartphone is in a zipper bag to make sure there is no problem even if it receives a special shock.
On the front of the tripod box, the Ulanji company name is printed on the top, a picture of the product in the middle, and the model name of the product on the bottom.
On the side, the model name and color of the product and description of accessories for vlogs are printed.
On the back, there is a picture of the product when the legs are spread out and a brief description of the manufacturer.

The tripod (Ulanzi MT-08) inside the box is wrapped in plastic and is not sealed with tape, but you can take it out by opening the plastic bag.
The packaging of the smartphone holder (Ulanzi ST-07) also does not have a separate sealing seal, so if you open the top of the zipper bag, you can immediately take out the holder.
Components of Ulanzi Extendable Tripod (Ulanzi MT-08)
There is no separate manual for how to use it because it is simple. So, all the components are a tripod and a smartphone holder.
If you are using a tripod for the first time, you may not be familiar with the ball head, so I thought it would be good to have a simple manual. I thought that it would have been nice to have it printed on back.
Appearance of Ulanzi Extendable Tripod (Ulanzi MT-08)
The overall design of the product is rather neat. The color I bought is white, but I know there is a black model, and in the case of the black model, the ball head is red.
The material of the tripod is matte plastic, and the grip part of the hand is slightly treated to prevent slipping.
Just below the ball head of the tripod is a lever for fixing or releasing the ball head, and above the ball head is a screw of a standard standard used to fix the camera.
When you open the handle, you can see that there is a rod that can be expanded into 3 stages inside.
The inside of the tripod leg is empty to accommodate the folded rod, and the part used as the tripod leg is made of rubber to prevent slipping.
The following picture shows the smartphone holder (Ulanzi ST-07). There is a screw hole for fixing to a tripod, one at the back and one at the bottom, so it is configured in consideration of the convenience of shooting. If the weight of the smartphone used is heavy, it may fall over when the ball head is bent 90 degrees, so this seems to have been taken into account.
On the top, there is a holder in the form of a hot shoe to fix a microphone or lighting sold as a separate accessory. is attached.
Below is a picture of the smartphone holder mounted on a tripod. The ball head can be rotated 360 degrees, so you can use it by rotating it in the required direction after fixing the cradle firmly.
The length of the selfie stick is rather short, but when the smartphone holder is attached, it has a slightly longer length, so it will be okay to put it on the desk and use it for self-video shooting.
The following will cover the specifications and user reviews of the product. Please look forward to user reviews and reviews.
