 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rose. So here I've done a few videos about this particular product, the Yulandze MT34 multi-functional tripod. I've bought about five of these things and I'll explain why I've done that in a second. It's because they're so incredibly diverse and useful. They firstly can be compacted up for use as a selfie stick, but you can also just unpack the bottom and you've got yourself a little tabletop tripod. They have a quarter inch here for attaching a webcam or a camcorder and this by the way is not affiliate marketing. I don't put affiliate links in my video. This is just a genuine product that out of the blue of all my purchases, this one for camera stuff has come to be kind of the surprise star. It's got a locking mechanism and a telescope, so a decent amount. So yeah, it kind of does everything in one little piece and the reason I bought four of them is you can imagine if you're on the road setting up a recording studio, not in your house. You can use one for a camera, one or two more as light stands, tabletop and one more for let's say a microphone and one more for something else. So they're super diverse, especially if you're doing stuff like vlogging from not your regular home environment. So another thing you can do with them is use them as microphone stands in that environment and that's what I'm going to show in this video. How to do webcams and cameras is pretty self-explanatory. They have one of these mechanisms here and you just put your webcam or camera in. Now the microphone I was going to get working here is the PJ48 microphone from Shure. I use this in a bunch of my videos for the price it cost 50 bucks. I think it's a really good microphone and the PJ48 comes with this little adapter from Shure. You see it's got the Shure brand writing on the side and like most microphones it either comes with a 5 over 8 inch or 3 over 8 inch thread. In this case it was 5 over 8 and they put in a threaded adapter to narrow it down to 3 over 8. Now the only challenge remaining is to use this as a microphone stand but we're going to have this guy on here so we need to convert the thread. So I recommended these before these little thread adapter pieces. They're a dollar to each and you can also buy kits because they're kind of indispensable. This is a 1 over 4 female so that's going to take the 1 over 4 to 3 over 8 male so that's 3 over 8 inches and you can also get 1 over 4 to 5 over 8 inch commonly available. What I'm going to do then is screw this guy on the top of my Ulanzi MT34. I've even gone black for the color coordination. Now I'm going to affix my Shure microphone stand onto this. I can actually kind of probably do this even just with one hand just in case of screwing that into the widened thread and then awaiting until it locks and then after that we'll get the microphone in. So here is the finished product. I'm going to hold it up against white so you can see the contrast of this a little bit better. My Shure microphone on top going down into the tripod. I'm going to just put this on my desk here and it's actually surprisingly sturdy because you've got a locking mechanism here at the bottom when you get to the desired height and you've got your another locking mechanism here on the ball bearing so you can kind of put it around and you can also just kind of use your hands just to force the height down a little and you can get this all the way up to a comfortable speaking height so yeah you can totally use if you're doing something like podcasting on the go and you want a packable so this the beauty of this Ulanzi MT34 is that as you can see I'm going to just try to do this one handedly it's going to compact all the way down into something that can pretty easily fit in your luggage once you take off the microphone. I hope that video is useful another use for the Ulanzi MT34 multifunctional tripod and if you want to get more videos from me please subscribe to this YouTube channel.
