 Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening the small rig flexible tripod With phone holder and cold shoe mount. If this is the first time or if you visit, thank you for your support on this channel I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box You may want to subscribe this channel. If you're looking for more review videos, there will be links in the description box below So I picked up the small rig DT01 tripod, which I have it right here and I'm going to be opening this up and take a look at it and also at the same time I'll compare this with another very popular tripod, which is very very similar and This is Lanzi MT-33. So I'll just you know take a look at the similarities and differences so this is a Small rig and I have a few other products from them and Usually I noticed that you know their products are very high quality and durable. So I'm hoping the same for this tripod So let's start opening up first okay, so this is all we have here and I'm just going to you know remove the packaging one by one So looks like they have included a small brochure or manual and actually there's something QC past sticker Which we have here and then here we have the Tripod itself. So I'll just you know set this tripod aside for now and just let's take a look at what we have here So before we do that, this is a 10.7 inch or 273 mm 378 gram and Comparing to Ulanzi, which we have it right here. This is longer and Ulanzi is 15.74 inch and 400 millimeter and this is 321 gram. So this is much bigger and heavier than the small rig So we'll just you know do more comparison a little later. So here we have the phone mount and I'll just you know Place it on top of the tripod and let looks like there's a Bluetooth Button or Bluetooth capability, but I never use in a Bluetooth with my tripod. So this is kind of useless for me I'm not going to be using this. So I'll set this aside here and this is the Colchum mount and Looks like they have a quarter inch thread here, which is very good. So let's just you know Look at the tripod itself So you can see that this is a very high quality you can tell right away and in terms of the material this is made of plastic and aluminum that's how it looks like and So here is the quarter inch thread to put the This one on so Let's put it on here, which we have right here. So it should fit very nicely Now what happens? It has a ball head. So that's a very good thing. You can remove the ball and You can you know choose the direction you want So that's very good here and then here we have the phone mount So the way it works you can just you know put it on top of this on top of this here so if you're putting this way and Then if you want to attach your phone, then you have to just you know attach it Here, this is the Colchum mount right here, which is on top and You can you know choose different Way to use the Colchum if you just you know put it in this direction and then here you can insert another Let's say your mic or anything. So this comes in very handy if you're attaching like in a small tripod or a Magic arm to attach another mic or you know audio recorder or even another small camera So this comes in very handy now. I'm just going to Remove this here and Let's take it look at these two so you can see that this is The lens is much bigger for example, if you are looking at right here then this is lens is slightly bigger and Ulanzi phone mount works a little different way and also, it's a bit heavier. So this is lighter and Both of them are okay for traveling But I prefer this one because this looks like you know a small smaller and this is also lighter But in terms of quality, definitely this is you know a good quality product and This one is $15 cheaper than Ulanzi. Ulanzi goes for about $33 Canadian 35 33 in that range and this one is about $22 to $23 Canadian So this is a bit cheaper as well so both of them you cannot go wrong with that with any one of these but My choice if you are if I'm traveling would be this because this is lighter and Let me just take a look at the phone handle So what happened this piece puzzled me because it feels like there's like you know This piece is attached here and it comes off But I couldn't figure out what happens or how to take it off. So then I realized how it works So let me just put it or touch it to the tripod first then I'll be able to show you How this part works Okay, so once you attach it, let's say you want to put your phone on the phone holder So I'm going to you know put the phone here Okay, so you have your phone and now let's say you want to rotate your phone So what happens this part kind of comes off? So for example You can see that you know it's coming off And then this way you can rotate your phone and you can actually put it on the other direction Right like this way. So that's a feature. I was not expecting But you know it might come in handy if you need to use it, but that's what this piece, you know The touch made that's why it is and that's how it works. So This is what I got a little bit confused how this works. So I'm just going to remove it So overall I'm happy with the product. There's nothing to complain because of the you know price point So this is a very inexpensive product and looks like, you know, the quality is very good as well so they came very close to the Elanzey MT33 and looks like the functionalities are very similar although different way and this one has Bluetooth Extension which is right here. Although I will not be using that but you know Elanzey doesn't have any Bluetooth and looks like it has most of the functionality has then like Elanzey, except that Elanzey has a Colchum mount right here But this one has a Colchum mount on top. So that's The difference but except that, you know, they're very similar, but this one is much lower price So this is not a paid or affiliated review. All my reviews are non-affiliated unbashed and honest I purchased this with my own money. There are no affiliated links. No, nothing.
