Not that long a go I bought a Ulanzi tripod. Tripods are things I don’t use very much they are generally cumbersome and heavy but this one is not too bad.
For a start it has four section legs which make it much shorter than tripods I have had in the past, it also has the usual centre extension which can take it to a height above my head but it has no winding mechanism just a slide which reduces weight. It also has no leg bracing again reducing weight.
The only thing I dislike about it is the head which is a slide and clamp feature I wanted an F38 head but they seem rarer than hens teeth but this one does take a F38 mount so it is acceptable (just).
This is the F38 attachment on my video camera.
They click into place and the mount is single sided.
Overall it is not a bad tripod, it is not something I will use a lot but it is occasionally handy and I like the fact that this one is so small yet relatively light and sturdy.
My older tripods have gone in the bin. I still carry my G clamp thing with me.
I still have this thing which is even smaller but much less sturdier, I have fitted it with a F38 head
