Finally, a reviewer who mentions the "stiff fingers" problem that a lot of these SELFIES have, irrespective of brand! It can be quite an arduous and annoying task, at times, to place your camera into these "fingers"! Thank you for mentioning this IMPORTANT and OVERLOOKED part of the assembly process. 👍📹

[@dickiespostman3648]

No problem mate, most them guys are sponsored by those companies.

[@nicklover9565]

The best review so far! I’ve been choosing between mt09 and 08 for my hero 8. You have answered all my questions! Thank you. But I’m still thinking which I like more.

[@dickiespostman3648]

Thanks for comment personally I would go with the Ulanzi MT-09 👍🏾🇬🇧

[@BrentAdams]

Thanks for the comparison. I just ordered the Ulanzi 09.

[@jeremytanmagic]

i have the GoPro Shorty. And i hate that the extendable stick will collapse on its own after a few uses. Did you encounter the problem with ULANZI? Thanks a bunch!

[@dickiespostman3648]

+Jeremy Tan no not with the ULanzi, at all it build more better than the GoPro shortly👍🏾🇬🇧

[@jeremytanmagic]

Dickies Postman awesome! Thank you so much! Great review!

Great video, thank you. One good point for MT 09 is that we can twist the ball to record vertical videos for TikTok/KZbin shorts.

[@GeKo1966]

Hi Dickie! Great review and Thx for that! two questions about the MT-08, what is the max weight you can put on the ballhead and can one unscrew the ballhead from the tripod? Keep up the good show and reviews! Cheers!

[@dickiespostman3648]

Hi ULanzi doesn’t state at the time, when I did the video, but at the time. I did place a Cannon M6 with the kit lens and that camera’s weight was 500gm. And it took the weight.So my educated guess would do go above 500gm at the most. Also the ball head cannot be removed.

[@bradbeckett]

Have a thumbs up! Great review!

[@dickiespostman3648]

+Brad Beckett thank mate👍🏾🇬🇧

Great vidéo !? I will go for the Mr 08 because i only use gopros

+Julien Leveaux {Paleo Postman} thanks for your comment 👍🏾🇬🇧

Now we have the GP-10 to use with the MT-08. Way better option 👍

[@MFLSL77]

Hello gain. There is a new tripod, the Ulanzi Go Quick II Tripod, which will be an upgrade of the Ulanzi-MT09. It will be? have you tested? I'm undecided between this new update and the one from Pgytech. I urgently need a tripod and I don't know which one to buy. Can you help me? Sorry for bothering you with so many questions about it.

[@dickiespostman3648]

I don’t know about the new Ulanzi, but making a choice between the PGYTECH or Ulanzi I would learn towards PGYTECH for build quality. Don’t discount Ulanzi MT-09 it still one of the best mini tripods for its budget price. I hope this helps 👍🏾🇬🇧

[@MFLSL77]

@@dickiespostman3648 ok. Thank You. Now my dilemma is the price. The PGYTECH is for 30 euros and the Ulanzi MT-09 for 11 euros. At these prices, isn't the Ulanzi better or is there really that much of a difference in quality?

[@dickiespostman3648]

I would go with the Ulanzi, especially your on a budget.The build quality is just as good as the PGYTECH.

[@forestersenclave]

Ulanzi 👍

[@janekoon2056]

Can these 3 models can hold iphone for camera function?

[@dickiespostman3648]

Yes they can, providing you buy a smartphone phone mount/clamp👍🏾🇬🇧

[@mycountryworkshop3201]

Excellent review. Well done

[@dickiespostman3648]

+My Country Workshop Yes, it was filmed by me

[@justroman4276]

How did you make your Mt 09 longer? I can not enlarge it. :-(

[@dickiespostman3648]

Hi do mean extending its length, it should be a simple case of pulling the head (top) while holding the legs end.👍🏿🇬🇧

[@justroman4276]

@@dickiespostman3648 thanks a lot. I just did it. I had to just pull it. I have rolled it before. 😂

[@brianmorrison9168]

Would the Ulanzi MT-08 be suitable to hold a gimbal, on a table or other flat surface ?

[@dickiespostman3648]

Hello Brain, checkout these items MOMAN gimbal extension & ZEADIO Metal mini tripod (comes in 2 sizes) both I done videos on last year (watch out for my dirty nails 😂😂). Both can brought from Amazon.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@laneferal6756]

Hi Paleo! can i plug in the bg-2 battery stick to the mt-08 or mt-09?

[@dickiespostman3648]

Hi you can screw in the Ulanzi BG-2 battery stick to Ulanzi MT-08 but, because it a ball head it maybe a bit awkward as you need it to be perfectly straight and in line with the selfie stick tripod. Personally if you are using the Ulanzi BG-2 battery stick I would buy just a table top tripod legs, like the ZEADIO metal mini tripod.

[@aamerahmed5811]

Can I use this mt09 for g7x mark2

[@dickiespostman3648]

Yes, just be careful where placing it as it comes near to the top range of weight capacity for this vlogging stick.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@innersoulmedia3683]

Good
