Product Information

Full details

The Ulanzi MT-79 is a versatile, lightweight tripod designed for content creators, vloggers, and photographers who need a reliable support system for cameras, smartphones, and video lights. Its primary benefit is its impressive 81-inch maximum height, which allows for expansive high-angle shots while remaining compact enough for travel; however, users should be mindful that like most lightweight tripods, stability may decrease at its full extension in windy outdoor conditions.

Can I use this with my smartphone?

Is the ball head removable?

The head is designed for optimal use with the tripod, and it is recommended to use the included mechanism for the best stability.

Is this tripod suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is portable for travel, but please ensure the tripod is properly weighted down if used in windy conditions at high extensions.

Check the leg locking mechanism and tighten the tension screws if they have become loose over time.

Ensure the ball head tension knob is fully tightened after adjusting your preferred angle.

  • Compact and lightweight for effortless portability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the MT-79, release the leg locks to extend the tripod to your desired height, then tighten them securely to ensure stability. Mount your camera or light via the 1/4-inch thread on the ball head and adjust your angle using the locking knobs on the head assembly. This tripod is compatible with any device featuring a standard 1/4-inch tripod mount. For maintenance, keep the leg joints free of grit and sand after outdoor shoots, and clean the center column periodically with a dry cloth to ensure smooth extension. Do not use chemical solvents on the locking mechanisms.
