Ulanzi, a brand known for its innovative photography accessories, has introduced a new product: the Ulanzi VlogPod TT38.
This compact tabletop tripod, which doubles as a vlogging grip, is designed for content creators seeking convenience and versatility.
Key Features
The Ulanzi VlogPod TT38 is a compact and sturdy tripod capable of supporting a maximum payload of 3kg (6.6 lbs). It features a working height of 220mm (8.66 inches) and is equipped with non-slip silicone feet for enhanced stability. The VlogPod comes with a locking ball head that is compatible with Ulanzi’s Uka and F38 quick-release systems but not with ARCA Swiss plates. The ball head allows for 360° pan and 180° tilt, making it easy to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting modes.
Innovative Design
One of the standout features of the Ulanzi VlogPod TT38 is its one-click opening mechanism. A button located on one of the tripod legs quickly releases the two other legs, allowing the tripod to open and lock into position with ease. Additionally, the VlogPod has a cold shoe mount on the side of the ball head, providing a convenient attachment point for accessories.
Mantis Mode and Ergonomic Grip
Another unique feature is the “mantis mode,” which utilizes a retractable hook on the tripod’s grip. This hook can be used to hang the tripod on fences, walls, doors, or other surfaces no thicker than 100mm. The grip itself is ergonomically designed with a non-slip silicone surface and includes a slot for a wrist strap. When the other legs are retracted, the VlogPod can be used as a top handle for handheld shooting.
