So, finally i received the package from Ulanzi.
These are my initial thoughts and photos of the tripod..
This is what the package looks like.
Inside the box …
So as you can see, the tripod is inside a gray case with an extra center column.
The tripod in my hand
Feels sturdy and light in my hand
This is their built in ball head
Ball Head and Quick release plate
This ball head is Arca-Swiss compatible with most arca-swiss plates, according to Ulanzi.
I find that it doesn’t go with my L-Bracket that I use. This Ulanzi ”Arca-Swiss” head looks as it should work with my bracket, but I think my L-bracket is too thick at the edges.
This is Not a big problem, I can use their plate, or maybe I should file down the edges of my bracket.
We are talking millimiters of a difference.
Their plate is Arca-Swiss compatible and does fit in all my Arca-Swiss ball heads. So I don’t really understand why they made their slot so thin and not as wide the Arca-Swiss that I have.
Well, it seems to be a good tripod regardless of the ball head and plate issue. I will get back with my thoughts as soon as I have used it real life.
Stay tuned for more..
