Ulanzi MT-78 185cm Tripod Selfie Stick Quick Release Dual Cold Shoe Mount Phone Holder for Camera

I recently picked up the Ulanzi MT-78 and after putting it through its paces, I'm genuinely impressed by how much value is packed into such a portable package.\nBuild Quality\nThe MT-78 is built with aluminum 7 alloy legs and plastic accents, weighing in at around 659g (Asia Tiger Group) — solid enough to feel premium, light enough to toss in a bag without a second thought. The signature red locking collar adds a nice pop of color and gives a satisfying, secure grip when extending the pole.\nVersatility\nThis thing transforms from a handheld grip to an extension pole to a full selfie stick — the foldable design really delivers on portability. The ball head supports 360° panning and 180° tilting, making transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting seamless. (B&H Photo Video) For anyone switching between landscape and portrait mode constantly (think Reels, TikToks, YouTube), that alone is a game-changer.

item worth its price of $30. taller and smaller foot print than a regular tripod but less stable as expected. can mount 2 devices at the same time, but only comes with 1 phone clamp. extension pole is friction based, not screw lock (like tripod).
