Product Information

Full details

The Ulanzi & COMAN Lightweight ZERO-Y Travel Tripod is designed for photographers and filmmakers who prioritize portability without compromising stability. Its key benefit lies in its ultra-lightweight carbon fiber construction and compact folded size, making it an ideal companion for travel. A potential caveat is the 5kg ball head payload, which might be limiting for very heavy professional camera setups.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of the tripod?

The ball head has a maximum weight capacity of 5 kg, while the center column can support up to 18 kg. Always ensure your camera setup is within the ball head's limit for optimal stability.

How compact is this tripod when folded?

When fully collapsed, the tripod measures approximately 42.3 cm (16.6 inches) in length, making it very portable.

Can I use this tripod for low-angle shots?

Yes, the tripod offers adjustable leg angles of 20°, 55°, and 75°. Additionally, the center column can be detached and inverted or removed completely for very low shooting positions, ideal for macro photography.

What type of camera mount does it use?

The tripod features an Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate system, which is a widely adopted standard for camera mounting.

What is the warranty period for this tripod?

The product comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Does it come with a carrying bag?

Yes, the packing list includes a dedicated tripod bag for protection and easy transport.

Can I attach accessories like a microphone or monitor?

Yes, the 1/4" screw on the top of the center column (when extended or detached) can be used to attach magic arms, which can then hold accessories like microphones or small monitors.

Troubleshooting

Tripod feels unstable at maximum height.

Ensure all leg sections and the center column are securely locked. Use the hook on the center column to hang a weight (like a camera bag) for added stability. Avoid fully extending the center column if possible; use leg height adjustment instead.

Ball head is stiff or difficult to move.

Check if the main locking knob is fully loosened. Clean any debris from the ball head mechanism. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to the ball mechanism (refer to manufacturer guidelines if available).

Quick-release plate is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the camera is securely mounted to the plate. Check that the plate's locking mechanism on the ball head is fully disengaged. Clean any dirt or grit from the plate and the head's clamp.

Leg locks (flip buckles) do not hold securely.

Inspect the flip buckles for any damage or obstructions. Ensure they are properly closed. If they appear worn or loose, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight and portable for travel.
Compact folded size makes it easy to carry.
Versatile height and leg angle adjustments for various shooting scenarios.
Sturdy construction despite its light weight.
Includes a capable ball head with Arca-Swiss compatibility.

Cons

Ball head payload of 5kg may be insufficient for heavier professional camera rigs.
Maximum center column payload of 18kg is high, but overall stability depends on leg setup and height.
5-section legs might be slightly more complex to adjust than fewer sections for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unfold Legs: Release the leg locks and extend the legs to your desired angle (20°, 55°, or 75°).
Extend Leg Sections: Unlock the flip buckles on each leg section and extend them to achieve the desired height. Ensure all sections are securely locked.
Adjust Center Column: Use the center column to fine-tune height. For low-angle shots, detach the center column and reattach it inverted, or remove it entirely if needed.
Mount Camera: Attach your camera to the Arca-Swiss quick-release plate using the 1/4" screw. Secure the plate to the ball head.
Level and Compose: Use the integrated bubble level to ensure a straight horizon. Adjust the ball head for your desired composition.

Compatibility:

The tripod features a standard 1/4" screw mount compatible with most digital and film cameras.
The ball head uses an Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate, which is widely compatible with many camera plates and accessories.
The center column has a 1/4" screw thread at the top for attaching accessories like magic arms, monitors, or microphones.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the carbon fiber legs and aluminum parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate the leg locks and ball head mechanism if needed, using a silicone-based lubricant.
Storage: Store the tripod in its provided bag in a cool, dry place to protect it from dust and moisture. Ensure all locks are tightened before storage.
