[@EbenPajanconi]

I appreciate how detailed and energetic these reviews are man. 🔥🔥

[@Jameses]

Thank you! Glad to hear that :)

[@tomasjurman]

Hej, great video, thank you a lot. Ulanzi is super tripod. 👍

[@Jameses]

Thank you for the compliment! Yes, their tripods are super indeed.

[@brianmorrison9168]

Ulanzi certainly make some great products and at decent prices too .. I have a few of their products.

[@Jameses]

Yes they do! Same here Brian haha :)

[@kennylim6099]

Excellent review! How does this compare to the Ulanzi SK-04 in terms of stability? Is it shaky to attach a phone for video filming at its max height at 2mtr? Dou prefer this over the SK-04?

[@Jameses]

Thanks! The SK-04 will be more stable as it has 3 independent feet. For phone, no issue at all not shaky even at the highest as it was made to hold lights. In terms of portability yes i prefer it over the SK-04 but if i want to be extra safe in situations like if the place is windy or alot of crowds, the SK-04 will give me a better piece of mind.

[@felixxyzz]

I tried it out with the new Smallrig 60 RC 60B and its to unstable even when it looks similar to the 40W Light you used 😅The 3 Legs are to close in my opinion. Im also not a native English Speaker (German) so maybe an inch slower 😅, but great Energy 👍

[@shering808]

Can it carry hohum Isteady m6 fumble with iPhone 15 pro max?

[@Jameses]

What is a fumble? I wont recommend attaching a gimbal on top of it due to the design of the centre column

[@robertludlam272]

Good vid thanks I have just ordered one from AliExpress and will use one of my ballheads with it

[@Jameses]

Great to hear that! 👍

[@SergSpace]

What prevents those telescopic section from folding back. Is there any lock mechanism?

[@Jameses]

Friction only. No, only for the feet there is a maroon lock.

[@SergSpace]

@@Jameses Thank you.

[@nelsonngu]

how is this compare to insta360 Extended Edition Selfie Stick with Insta360 X3?

[@Jameses]

I personally do not own the insta360 selfie stick but the MT-79 is a tripod which the 360 isn't. It also 25% of the insta360, so unless you need the 300cm lenght, this is still a better product in my opinion.

[@jaycstudiossg]

Is it twist to lock? Or it is extended and hold in place by friction? Thx

[@Jameses]

The body is hold together by friction, only the feet has a twist lock to keep it from retracting its feet.

[@jaycstudiossg]

@@Jameses Ic thx, does it hold well?

[@rokah1391]

Guys, I bought a shi amount of light stand, wether cheap or expensive c stand. I bought the ulanzi mt 79 , i needed a solid and small light stand to go on travel. I ended to buy 3 of those, Its a really fast deploy light stand and its tall. and i was able to put forza 60b with 90 cm softbox easily. Also i bought 3 of thoses around 17 $ each on aliexpress ( max on aliexpress its 26 $ , but its often on discount for like 15-19 $).

[@robkamanda]

Nice. I just subbed your channel Bro.

[@Jameses]

Thanks and welcome!

[@simon8723]

Would this be suitable for a Sony a5000 and travel?

[@Jameses]

Yes it would be, I mount my a6400 on this with my wireless receiver too.

[@simon8723]

Thanks. I may want some longer exposures. Good for that? Assuming level ground of course

[@Jameses]

Unfortunately, no. I would recommend a 3-legged full tripod as it may be prone to natural elements or knocks. The head is also not a ball-head and will not be able to compensate for uneven ground. I would recommend you look at the Ulanzi SK-04 or MT-63 which i have recently reviewed.

[@RakeshKolanti]

Suggest me a best tripod for iPhone

[@Jameses]

Ulanzi JJ02, I did a review on it. Light, Cheap & Functional.

[@BlueScreenOfDead]

if the "ballhead" was removeable , it would be a prefect tripod for 360 cameras. still, interesting product, and good review Mr James !

[@Jameses]

Thank you friend, yeah the ballhead is the weak point but for the price still worth it

[@TheTrailDancer]

Do you like it as a tripod? It's looks quite compact! Do you put another ball head on it?

[@Jameses]

Yes I love it for its height. Small ballheads is possible! As long as it can fit into a standard 1/4 inch screw mount, the weak point Is no ballhead that's all.

[@TheTrailDancer]

@@Jameses thanks... Singapore?

[@Jameses]

Yup. I am from Singapore 🇸🇬

[@TheTrailDancer]

@@Jameses I stay set coast lah.. 4 months per year. Quite local
