How Ulanzi Changed EVERYTHING With 3 Genius Inventions

Ulanzi has changed the game. With 3 genius inventions, there's no point using other systems for tripods, camera straps, backpack clips etc. The Falcam 38 quick release system that spans between full tripods, mini tabletop vlogging tripods, and the backpack clip.

I would like to inform you that FALCAM is a separate company from Ulanzi. They have partnered on some elements like the tripod and backpack clip, but Ulanzi is mainly a reseller for FALCAM. FALCAM makes F38, F50, and F22 quick release systems. FALCAM is spelled in all caps, btw, i’m not just yelling their name.

[@halifaxzapp]

Falcam/Ulanzi also makes a f38 plate that fits the peak design clip. Instead of being a square like the normal f38 plate, one dimension is slightly wider so it will fit securely in pd and a few other mounts like older Ulanzi heads.

[@SneakyCaleb]

Wait link me please ?! So it works with my pd clips but also the ulanzi stuff? Does it work with the new f38 head? That’s the issue I find. I use the old ulanzi zero y head because it works with PD arca Swiss plates.

[@halifaxzapp]

@@SneakyCaleb yeah. if you search 'falcam f38 pd' it comes right up. It is a little tricky to use as one direction fits and the other doesn't. But each direction is labeled as 'F38' or 'FOR PD Capture V3' in white print on each respective side. The f38 direction is slightly more narrow (like half a millimeter) and will not lock in that direction on the pd clip. If you are still curious I could do a video.

[@ThatGuyOverThereWeird]

it will only go into the PD Capture one way so have to align it properly.

[@SneakyCaleb]

@@halifaxzapp I use the PD clutch strap and it relies on one of the small corner holes to be connected. Maybe you can look it up and see what I mean. I don’t think the f38 will work in the trip for f38 and PD then

[@halifaxzapp]

Ah. yeah I'm looking at an image of the clutch strap now. The f38/pd plate should still work with that setup actually. There are still the holes and notches in the corners to allow a lanyard to be strung through without getting in the way when the plate is inserted. @@SneakyCaleb

It's really funny I was using their gear way before it became popular. I've been using their tripod and their early stuff and now I'm switching over to the quick release stuff as well. I'm glad you highlighted this company as they make some really good stuff. I like the fact that I can just be walking, put my camera on the tripod and then when I want to look at a different composition I can quickly put the camera on my chest and then I can be walking to the next spot within seconds, saving a lot of time and safety as well. I don't have to carry my camera in my hand, great video

[@britonabrompton9912]

Ulanzi make a camera bracket that has peak design in one direction and F38 (Ulanzi) the other. This means you can use the PD camera clip on your bag, and Ulanzi head on your tripod. This is my favourite setup. I also use the Ulanzi camera brackets on my Ulanzi video lights, so they fit on my tripods as well.

[@HumbertoAbed]

Hey Kasey for your freewell tripod, you can clamp the ulanzi f38 base into the arca swiss slot and then put the camera with the f38 plate into the base. It's 1 addition piece but it does the trick. I had to do this to make my Pgytech Mantis compatible.

[@cameraconspiracies]

No you can't, the Freewell has a little knob that won't allow the Ulanzi to lay flat.

[@Squidpaws-]

@cameraconspiracies oh shit. If I remember correctly, I think the pgytech one had the same, but they were removal. Get a little Dremel tool and cut it off 😆...

[@TheLDunn1]

I got pissed off with a similar situation years ago - different tripod heads and other accessories I had, using different & incompatible QR systems. I ended up switching everything over to arca Swiss compatible QR & plates. All my main camera bodies now have Arca Swiss L plates. I don’t use backpack strap QR holders though, I prefer to put my cameras away and keep them safe in a bag.

Wake me up when a company finally creates a solid quick-release system that does not rattle even slightly, but also manages to integrate it into L-brackets.

[@TheCruisinCrew]

I used to think that Arca-swiss is the best "universal" system and it still kind of is, but I got the F38 plates too and it is at least also Arca-swiss compatible. The quick release on the F38 is great (when it works, as you nicely demonstrated ;), but companies always try to get one up over the competition, that's why they're not cooperating... In any case, you can as you said transform almost any tripod or gimbal into accepting F38, by replacing the head (if it allows) or by clamping the bottom quick release plate (which is also Arca-swiss compatible - one tip: if it still wiggles after clamping it down, try some tape around the edges and then clamp it... the tape makes up for the slack and now it's rock solid on my mini tripod).

[@RomaFedorov]

I've been using the F38 quick release system for about 2.5 years, and I'm extremely happy with it. I would recommend cleaning it with WD40 every couple of months to keep the mechanism smooth. Cheers.

[@medvedevfilms]

Does the plate sit tight in clamp? no play?

[@richiecabral3602]

I don't have the new backpack clip yet myself, but one of the things I've seen others complain about with the f38 system is that unlike the peak design, the old one, and other f38 stuff, is very tight, and doesn't have play in it, which isn't the complaint, but because of it, it isn't always as smooth and quick to take on and off, like how you saw him struggle there. So, I guess it's a trade off of either speed and fluidity or a tight secure fit. This new design actually looks like it was modeled after the pgytech beetle clip, and he's saying that now it is smoother, but now has more play in it. It seems easier to attatch or detach off your backpack, or whatever, despite his trouble figuring that out to begin with, and it's lower profile and doesn't have the thumb screws sticking out, but if he's right, they sacrificed the tighter fit with less play to get it, so it's still the same trade off. So far though, the other f38 stuff hasn't had any play in it, but is a little clumsier than it needs to be, but if you're not worried about being quick draw McGraw, it's not that big of a deal.

[@chrishowell5718]

This looks like it would be compatible with similar products from Peak Design. I use a PD Capture clip on my main camera, and brought a compatible mounting plate from the top of my tripod for about £10. Fairly cheap Manfrotto tripod with a slightly dumb round mounting lug, that now screws into the bottom of the Arca-Swiss compatible plate rather than the camera.

[@stew_redman]

I've found that if you use a fairly heavy camera/lens combination then the F38 base plate works loose from the camera in a fairly short time if you use it a lot. They sell another version of the plate with an anti-twist fitting and that works much better. I use a peak design slide camera strap with an F38 shoulder strap so the camera is quick release and hangs with the lens pointing down by my side - much more comfortable than a traditional strap and much faster to use
