 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rose here. So today I picked up another box of Ali express camera accessories Now Ali express have recently started aggregating orders if you buy quite regularly from Ali express You're gonna find or at least this happened to me a few times now that they put Various orders from different shops into one box and then ship that so not sure exactly why they're doing that But this is what has been going on and this was one of my aggregated orders So what I picked up here is the Yulanzi MT34 multifunctional tripod now I've talked before about Ali express huge Chinese marketplace Ali Bab is B2C line and They have a vast amount of things that are useful if you're into vlogging or photo video and I bought quite a few pieces from this company called Yulanzi, which seems to be a smaller Chinese company, but they specialize in all this vlogging kit Brackets and tripods Desktop tripods and it must say everything I bought from them so far has been really good now this piece of kit It came in a decent size box And there was just the yeah, there was just a tripod So that's something I'm never really happy about when there's no instructions Now this was this is selling for like 15 15 bucks 20 bucks depending where you find this and the reason I bought this guy was because I Was looking for something I could keep in my camera bag That would be that would do basically everything I might want when I'm recording Vlogs out of the house without having to bring multiple components with me So for example, this is something you can do. I have another Yulanzi case here. This is a little This is a kind of much flimsier and lighter weight Mini tripod and not sure what this product number is and then I just have a this telescopes for about I don't know 30 centimeters and I have a little cheap Monopause here on the top with a quarter inch head So this works and this is fine, but it's not super sturdy So I'm gonna keep this guy at home But when I'm out of that house and I just want one thing that I can quickly take and take out I wanted this and the reason that I like this kiss is it has the tripod legs But they're built in they're built They're attached to the rest of the body of this kit now the first thing I thought was wow This is actually a surprisingly sturdy looking piece of kit. It's kind of chunky It's got a nice little firm feeling grip here and so you have your three legs at the bottom here Then you have a locking ring now again. There's no instructions, but you don't need to be Gifted to to figure out how this thing works is pretty self-explanatory so the locking ring It's a little bit hard to see the symbols here But it's right to unlock and once you've unlocked it you can start Telescoping now this guy goes out all the way to This length here and now this is the full length that I have and that's pretty good So if you're looking for a tool that you can Bring around with you to shoot So what you can do is just pop out the tripod legs Then telescope to your desired height. I am telescoping And then go ahead and just use the locking ring to fix that and once you've got it locked of course It should be secure. I can't use force to de telescope, but I'm not sure if that's a word de telescope so let me show you guys what else there is on the top of it you have a Ball bracket and you have a little locking ring here so you can go Round the full range of motion and you can lock it. So let's say I'm recording at a table here I'm sitting at a table. I want to do a vlog And the table is like slanted this way bit so I can just tap it forward slightly and go ahead and Lock that in here and then of course I would also be locking in the telescoping here now on the top You have a quarter inch Just in case you bought this product and you're like, what is that connection on top? It came with this little plastic sheet I've never seen before and that's how it came to me And I was like, what is this connection? So you just need to take that off and you'll get your quarter inch head now a lot of the Lanze products have this kind of locking wheel mechanism and what I don't really understand and I'm not feeling inclined to Really spend a lot of time figuring this out But so you know you can take this now I would assume that this is locking and unlocking an easy way to do it just toggle this A little screw the you know this easy thing now This is essentially an unboxing. I haven't done more than set it up and Play around with it. But if I want to let's say I want to screw in so this is a camcorder. I'm using with it I'm just gonna go ahead and manually screw in My camcorder and then I'm just literally using the locking wheel Here and I'm just gonna tighten it as far As it can go now, I can't really tighten it much further than that That's about the extent to which I can move this thing with my hands now. What I don't understand is that It's still Not locked on this axis I'm not sure if this is intended as a feature that you can use this with your thumb just to kind of Swivel the camera about but it does actually hold by itself. So the force of gravity isn't enough to actually change this now This I intended to buy for vlogging But this would actually be pretty decent as a monopod now I already do have a 1.5 meter carbon fiber monopod, but the fact that this has the Tripod legs built in makes this a more versatile tool for me that I can use this for shooting out in the field And I can also then do a vlog with it. So just to show you what that would look like just on Unlock the locking wheel telescope then lock back in place and now I have a pretty pretty solid Monopod setup for shooting video out there. So my feeling is that for $15 This is a really really solid looking piece of kiss When I got this my first thought was why this is a lot sturdier looking than the rest of the Yulanzi Gear that I have so my only concern or question is I would like the ability to lock this rigidly in place Just so I know that the kind like I don't like the fact that if I see if I just put a little bit of Pressure here. This thing's moving around Because of this wheel mechanism. So I don't know if I'm missing out on some way to lock it in place But irrespective that's not a deal breaker for me And I still imagine I'm going to get a lot of use out of this at telescopic telescopic Tripod with a little desk fitting. Hope this video is useful. Thank you for watching more videos coming soon
