ULANZI MT-16 Extendable Mini Camera Tripod, 4 Levels Adjustment 360° Ball Head Cold Shoe Lightweight Portable Vlog Travel Selfie Stick Handle Grip Desktop Webcam Tripod for DSLR Action Camera

This tripod is practical. It can hold your camera well for a night shot. It works nicely as a selfie stick also. I had to buy a 16mm lens for my R50 though, as the 50mm lens, for example, showed just a face, no background! 24mm was too little background still. I would buy a small handheld trigger too, as the timer option is kind of annoying (forget to change it back, etc).I used this device in Europe, strapped to my cross body camera bag. Most museums let me in with all my gear.

The media could not be loaded. This is perfect for holding up my camera at my desk. I use my camera for filming videos as well as zoom calls for school. Having it leveled this way was the best choice for me as its easy to access for troubleshooting or anything that could go wrong when experiencing any technical difficulties. I feel it is also safer and more compact than to have a big dslr sitting over my monitor screen. If you're using this for travels it is also really amazing since the tripod extends out and you can have your smaller cameras rest on it for far distances. The dslr works when having it sit on the first level since it is much heavier in weight. If you try to raise it up to a higher level, you can see it works but it can slowly slide down from just a shake because of the weight 😅I knew that when I came across this little tripod that it would be the perfect solution to have it on my desk. Worth the money and everything about it is essential!

Great little adjustable tripod... use the short legs from the bench for rifles, fully extended and placed under the muzzle you can stand and chrono pistols.

I ordered this as a desktop tripod for a portable 3d scanner. I was not sure this would be able to handle the weight of it (It's about the size of 5 cellphones put together) but it locks up securely while still allowing easy adjustment of height/angle. Closed it works well as a handle, too. For my purposes I haven't found any issues so far.

Love this inexpensive tripod. Small compact and decently strong. Can comfortable hold a fx30 and a decent sized lens.Perfect for countertop shots.

Exactly what I needed!!

This is a remarkable little tripod. I wanted something light, portable and straightforward for a tabletop type tripod setup just to use with my iPhone. Ulanzi delivered! While being incredibly light, I feel that this is a very durable tripod. Super simple to use. I also got the Ulanzi phone holder, and soon, I will be adding the quick connect claw connector so I can easily move my iPhone back and forth between this little tripod and the TT31 I have (also by Ulanzi).I have been very pleased with Ulanzi's photo/video gear and their quick connectors make it super easy and frankly imperative, to continue living within the Ulanzi ecosystem.If you're looking for a very small, sleek and portable tripod, with extension for vlogging, etc., I know you won't be disappointed by the MT-16. Beyond that, I do think the price I paid for this is bordering on a bargain, but I digress... I have enjoyed using this tripod, and I expect I will for years to come.

Overall I like it and it has nice features, but it has one major flaw. The middle column sticks down too far when the legs are extended, so it really become the third lag and one leg is not keeping the whole thing balanced. In other words, it leans in one direction or another.If that middle part were a bit shorter, or if the legs didn't extend out as far, it wouldn't be a problem. I will probably look for a similar tripod that's more stable, but sadly I waited too long to return this one. It works great as a handle to hold the camera though.In the pic my full frame camera is mounted on top and I am not touching it or holding it. It doesn't tip over but it's not very stable.
