MT-16 Extendable Mini Camera Tripod

The ULANZI MT 16 mini tripod has been a very useful accessory for both travel and everyday shooting. I have used it with a mirrorless camera, an action camera, and even as a desktop webcam stand, and it feels stable and well built for its size. The extendable design and multiple height adjustments make it easy to adapt to different shooting scenarios. The 360 degree ball head moves smoothly and locks securely, allowing for quick framing changes. I also appreciate the cold shoe mount, which makes it convenient to add a microphone or small light. It is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry in a bag, yet sturdy enough for regular use. Overall, this is a well designed and practical tripod that offers excellent value for vloggers, travelers, and anyone needing a flexible small camera support.

I haven't used this tripod super extensively or for any intensive use, just little things like occasionally needing a closeup angle or some macro stuff on a counter, but so far it's held up fine and I've bought another one after giving my first one to a friend! The ball head is metal and feels strong, and the extension mechanism is metal as well. The base/legs are plastic and there is some flex to it, I wouldn't put anything crazy heavy on this tripod, definitely stick to compact cameras, phones, or compact mirrorless systems with small lenses. Wouldn't trust an A7 series body on this for example. Overall with my light use I'm happy with it!

Great item good value for cost Very versatile good build quality great for vloggers highly recommended

I know it's not made for heavy cameras, so the lack of overall sturdiness isn't a problem, it holds up my little stuff fine. It folds down into a size that fits on the top of my photography fanny pack, and is very lightweight. Only one problem, and I just fixed it. The center tube that the sections telescope into is just a hair too long. It hits the flat surface you're setting it on before the legs do, causing a terrible stability problem. If it had been made just a quarter inch shorter, the legs would make full contact first. So, I just glued some tiny rubber feet to the flat part of the legs that contacts the ground, and now it's a LOT more stable. I just wonder why the "engineers" that designed it didn't notice the instability problem they designed into it, so I wouldn't have to fix it. Yeah, the fix was pretty easy for me, but it would have been even easier for them to design it right in the first place. Anyway, it's now an essential piece of kit when I go out vlogging.

Works well on a game cam in the yard, where device security is not a concern. This tripod is a cost-effective, well-made, sturdy solution for using a game cam to capture wildlife in my yard. It is fully adjustable and holds the camera steady.

Why I bought it I needed a tripod to use with my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 so I could record jiu jitsu sessions. I wanted something lightweight but strong enough to hold steady during movement. The built in grip and adjustable angles seemed like a good fit for what I needed. What surprised me right away It feels sturdy right out of the box. The grip is solid and does not slip. The material feels better than I expected at this price. Honestly it feels more reliable than the branded one that came with my Osmo. The adjustments are smooth and the ball head holds its position without drifting. What I did not love Nothing so far. It sets up quickly and holds steady. No issues with balance or slipping. It just works the way you hope it will. Would I recommend this Yes I would. If you are recording with a compact camera or something like the DJI Osmo, this is a great little tripod to have. It is light, easy to carry, and surprisingly strong for the size. Whether you are filming on the go or setting it up on a desk or mat, it gets the job done.

The ULANZI MT-16 is like the Swiss Army knife of tripods—small, versatile, and somehow always ready for action. One minute it’s a sturdy desktop stand for my webcam, the next it’s a handheld selfie stick making me look like a pro vlogger instead of “guy fumbling with his phone.” The 4-level extension is smooth and solid, so I can go from compact to tall in seconds without feeling like it’s going to collapse mid-shot. The 360° ball head is buttery—tilt, twist, spin, and it locks right where I want it. No saggy camera angles, just perfect framing every time. Bonus points for the cold shoe mount. Being able to pop a mic or light right on top is a game-changer—suddenly my quick vlog setup looks like I hired a mini production crew. And despite all that flexibility, it’s super lightweight and portable. Toss it in a backpack, and it disappears until I need it. In short: sturdy, clever, and ridiculously handy. The MT-16 makes me feel like a travel vlogger even when I’m just setting up Zoom calls in my living room. If Batman vlogged, this would definitely be in his utility belt.

Tripod feet are a little thin and seem delicate, but overall it works well. I am using it to hold a construction laser at the moment.

I purchased this tripod because I couldn't source an official ASUS stand for the ASUS ROG Strix 15.6” Portable monitor. Whilst the monitor has a stand built-in, the ergonomics are not ideal. The tripod has three sturdy feet and a right angle threaded head that works with the thread on the back of the screen. The tripod can also hold the weight of the monitor easily.

O produto é muito bom ! Não me arrependo porque vejo a qualidade dos materiais usados e acabamento

Ulanzi MT - 16 bohot accha hai guys. Go for it without any doubt. Value for money

Es un mini tripie con buen agarre, corto pero tiene extension para mayor altura o alcance. El control de giro de la cabeza es con una bola de movimiento controlado y suaves patas de goma antideslizantes. Tiene buen balance y mejoro la expectativa que tenia del mismo. Resulto mejor que lo esperado.

I bought this for travel, using it to hold a Magsafe mount so I can use my iPhone as a webcam. It works perfectly. It is lightweight and stable for my iPhone 14 Pro with the MagSafe mount. The shoe is an excellent addition since it also allows me to mount an LED light. The telescopic piece is compact yet goes up high enough to clear my Macbook Pro 15 easily. The adjustable bearing is also quite stable. This is a combination of metal and plastic, and overall the quality seems good.
