ULANZI MT-78 Extendable Phone Tripod & Selfie Stick, 72.83" Aluminium Travel Stand for Vlogging

If you need a single support that stretches tall for overhead shots, compacts down for travel, and holds both smartphones and compact cameras, the MT-78 is built for that versatility. Made from anodized aluminum, it balances reach and stability while keeping the weight low enough to carry on shoots, hikes, or city commutes. It’s compatible with standard phone clamps and small camera plates, and its screw threads and quick-release fittings make switching setups fast.

How tall does the MT-78 extend and what limits should I expect?

The tripod extends up to about 72.83 inches (listed maximum), giving you overhead and eye-level angles for group photos and vlogging. Stability decreases as the central column extends to full height, so use lower extension settings for heavier cameras or windy conditions.

• Maximum extended height: 72.83" (approx. 185 cm)
• Material: lightweight aluminum for balanced reach and portability
• Best used with phones and compact cameras at full extension
• Lower heights recommended for heavier loads or outdoor wind

What devices will this tripod hold and how do I attach them?

The MT-78 supports smartphones and most compact cameras that fit standard 1/4" mounting screws or attach via a phone clamp. The tripod works with most quick-release plates and universal phone mounts; ensure your phone clamp or adapter is securely tightened before recording.

• Compatible with phones using a standard phone clamp (sold separately or bundled in some kits)
• 1/4" screw thread for compact cameras and many accessories
• Quick-release/screw attachment for faster device swapping
• Use a counterbalance or lower height for heavier DSLRs (not recommended as primary support)

How portable is the MT-78 for travel and outdoor shoots?

The tripod collapses down to a compact length and is made from aluminum, so it’s light enough to slip into a backpack or carry on day trips. The sections stack inside one another and lock in place to prevent rattle, and the compact size makes it suitable for urban travel, vlogging, and casual adventure photography.

• Collapses to a travel-friendly size for backpacks and carry-ons
• Aluminum body keeps weight low without sacrificing strength
• Section locks reduce wobble and rattle during transport
• Easy setup and teardown for run-and-gun shooting

Who is this for? The ULANZI MT-78 is ideal for content creators, vloggers, amateur photographers, and social media users who want one adaptable support that works as a tall selfie stick and a stable camera/phone tripod. If you often switch between handheld shooting and stationary setups, travel with gear, or need extra height for overhead group shots, the MT-78 offers a practical balance of reach, portability, and compatibility without the bulk of pro-grade stands. It’s not intended as a primary support for heavy professional DSLRs, but it’s a strong, versatile option for phones and compact cameras used in travel, events, and everyday content creation.
