Ulanzi is killing it on the tripod market.
they are absurdly great
I just got one and it's a HECK OF A TRIPOD!! Can't take any shots without it. Also absolutely great for bird photography
I have all of that ulanzi gear , and have it the same way you set up. Now I'm getting this new tripod with the code you have. Also, can you please tell them to put some sort of measuring units on the tripod legs so that we can easily get all of the legs to the same length without trial and error. That'll save a lot of time without almost any additional manufacturing cost. These quick releases and tripods from ulanzi are making the 1 man band super possible
good suggestion - will relay!!
It would be so funny if you and Kasey from Camera Conspiracies could do a skit where you encroach in each other’s vlogging spots. Like you are both trying to film in the brewery district at the same time and interrupt each other’s intro.
haha - that'd be great. I don't know if he'd feel the same 🤣
Thank you Christopher Nolan, didn't know you did gear reviews on RUclips.
Thanks a lot man! I’m sold! Im going to get the Ulanzi Video tripod. Your channel is very helpful!
I use them EVERY day
How do you think this fluid head compares to the separate fluid head on the f38?
You should try a video comparison to see which one is more smooth. When you tilted this one it looked like it was catching.
Love your videos by the way!
I'd love to see this company create more affordable, high quality, and compact film tripods. Most high quality fluid heads are large and not built for mobile shoots.
I have both, and they are pretty close in comparison in my opinion. However, I think the new head is superior as it comes with the balance base built in. I've also got a quick-release on the Ulanzi mini fluid head when using the travel pod, but have found that the head comes loose from the f38 quick release plate. Could just be a tightening issue, but it's prone to happened when panning and perhaps not loosening the pan-tension screw. Also, find leveling the new balance base a bit easier to adjust than on the travel pod.
I will buy it for my zv e 10 for sure. Thanks man!
It’s excellent. I use it everyday
Hi Mark
Thanks for the great review!
Are the locks still holding up for the Video F38 Tripod ?( daily use )
I am thinking of getting the F38 to use with my ZV-E10 for church service streaming. Helpful review, thanks Mark!
it’s so great
Good video!!! Thanks for your job. I have learned a lot on your channel in the last few months. until today I realized that I was not subscribed 🤦♂️. Very soon I will have my first camera, and as you can imagine it is ZV-E10. Thanks again for your content.
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.
you got it!!
Best reviewer on the planet reviews the best travel tripod on the planet
It was meant to be
Thanks for the great review Mark, waiting for mine to come in today. Gonna be taking it on a two week trip to Vietnam soon, so I'm excited to see how it holds up!
I just had it in Africa for two weeks. Best possible tripod to travel with!!
@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis that’s awesome, I was playing around with it yesterday and it seems great. A little worried about the twist lock mechanism and it’s long term durability, but so far I love how quick set up and take down is!
I'm just a casual photographer/videographer so I don't want to spend that much. What do you think of the Ulanzi MT-60? Seems decent for the price.
Hey Mark, love your videos, i'm just addicted! Can you explain a little about SD Cards? Especially for 120p?
I’ll have to do an sd card video soon
Mark sent me, want some of that Ulanzi
This video should have been called “best camera channel reviews tripod”
I should call you before I name my videos
I wish the F38 comes with carbon fiber middle part. Just for aesthetics.
Just got mine because of you it’s awesome! Only gripe is I cant put my peak design camera strap anchor thingy in the corner of the plate and has it still connect in.
ah - yes, those bobbles are big on the peak design. I have a ulanzi plate and ulanzi strap.
It the photo ball head f38 could have been possible to buy it separately to switch the video ball head with it when needed and for the portability was better than having two tripods :))
Just received the Zero F38, will let you know how it holds up
I have seen like 5 reviews already of this tripod by various youtubers and NO ONE tests its fluid head actual motion quality in action! Which is what everyone wants to know, when they buy a video tripod with a fluid head, right? Is it smooth? How well does it work? Did anyone else found that rather odd, that no one mentioning it?
it’s a very basic fluid head - it get the job done, but there’s no tension adjustment of counter weight. it’s smooth, but it’s really up to you to determine the speed.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis how is it compared to Ulanzi U-190?
it similar in movement but it has a major advantage that it has an extra feature where you can loosen the bowl and level out the head without needing to adjust the legs.
Any chance you might review the Benro Cyanbird? Like the VideoGo it has a ball/fluid hybrid head which allows for easy portrait shooting, kinda torn between the two.
That EH12 fluid head (the one that comes with the video tripod) can be unscrewed and attached to the Zero F38 spare column? If that's the case, it would be possible to buy that fluid head separately and use it to an existing Zero F38.
Missed opportunity on the zv-e10 😂
I don’t understand why the cost of this new tripod is so much cheaper than the other one you have. And they support the same weigh. What is your take on this? Why? And as a professions Photograher and videographer, which one would you say is sturdier and more reliable in your option? Thanks
ulanzi says the full price of of the Zero f38 is $399, but the reality is that they usually sell it for $369 and sometimes as low as $299 with sales and discounts. The $259 of the new one is still cheaper though. my guess is that they struck a better deal with fotopro (instead of Coman, who makes the other) and there’s less engineering. the ball head of the Zero f38 and centre column are unique and look hard to manufacture. the Video one just has a standard fluid brand and regular centre column. The zero f38 also has more parts with all the foot switches. in terms of sturdiness, they both are performing well for me, but I would probably give the edge to the zero f38 by a hair. But I’ve got to say, I’m taking out the video tripod more and more these days. I’ll see as time goes by how it holds up.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks for the response. Hmm. So I am professional videographer and photographer- I shoot a lot of events, corporate conferences, and interviews. I have a very expensive Really Right Stuff tripod, but it has twisty legs. I HATE it. it takes forever to get set up, change hight, and break down.
I need something that works efficiently, but without compromising stability or assurance that the legs are locked in place. I also would prefer a fluid head- as I do more video work. Which one do you think would be best for my needs?
I'd also be willing to purchase a fluid head separately if need be, and attach it to either of these. Thanks!
from what you're saying - I would stick to the Zero F38 and get a fluid head. You get those nice foot switch locks which allows you to visually see if they are closed or not. They can adjust very fast and it feels solid (as solid as a lightweight travel tripod can feel, in my opinion). The F38 Video tripod is great, but you still need to use a twisting action to make adjustments, and there's no indication if you tightened everything or not.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis that makes sense... i like the idea of having a lever that's visual confirmation. hmm.. alright. I think that's the way to go then. thanks for the info!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I've heard some other people / youtubers comment that their F38 baseplate comes lose, due to the plate 'sticking' a bit when trying to insert it, and trying to wiggle it in. I am considering completely switching ALL of my QR's from swiss arca to f38 and f22. but i'm nervous. thoughts?
I was thinking to get the a7siii and a7iv cage of theirs. the thing i love about f38 vs swiss arca, is the confidence and solidity that once you're locked in, you KNOW you're locked in.
Tempting! But I guess that will be for travel only.
I use them for everything. my studio is small, so I love having these lightweight portable ones. I also use them for photography. but if I wanted to have a big rig on rails or really heavy stuff, I would use a heavy duty tripod
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes. I understand. We shoot mostly bigger rigs with BMPCC. But I guess I can use this with my FX3 when I'm doing my personal docu filming.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Hey. I just checked your link. And over there it says that it can support 18 kilos! That's a lot! Like lbs 40 or so.
Awe man, I love the legs! Switches are my least favorite. If they update the “regular” one, I’m all in. 👍 Another great video!
Now - look at that. I guess ulanzi is doing those market research 🤣
Another great find. Thank you!
they keep making good stuff!!
Got the Ulanzi F38 and also the fluid head for a 150-600 mm. Too bad the fluid head is heavier, aluminum no Carbon. How do you lock the levers effectively?
Q: What are the merits of adding a ball mount to a fluid mount (or vice versa), whether at home or by the manufacturer, rather than carrying 2 tripods with different mounts?
Hey mark, i am in toronto too. I just got new zv e10 as my first camera.
I got my sigma 16mm f1.4 too.
I was wondering if you could suggest me vnd+cpl 2in 1 filter and the size, (like how much mm would fit it)
Please, i am searching a lot but not finding any.
I love your videos man.
thank you!!
Hi Mark, how does the x locks holding up after one year? Is it more durable than the normal flip locks?
The leg locks are still perfect - I use it constantly. really impressed. Going to do a year review on it.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis great, looking forward for your review! Was quite concerned the lock being less durable
I wonder how do you like these twist legs so far compared to the previous model of clamps? I worry that on uneven terrain where you want to adjust the legs it might be finicky...?
It’s a very small turn to adjust. It’s surprisingly easy. But on the whole, I find the locks a little easier to adjust
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I just found out that this "new" tripod is just rebranded other Chinese tripod Fotopro X-Aircross 3 Lite
so if we had to get one would you recommend the fluid head version? and if i dont need it for video work i could just take the fluid head off and put a quick release base plate on it?
You could certainly could take the fluid head off do that if you have another ball-head you could attach. I find I use the fluid head more in my studio because I can make quick adjustments with the head. But when I leave the house - I always take the non-fluid head version. I like the locking legs a little more, I can tun the camera vertically a little easier, and it's a bit more robust. Honestly - both are absolutely great.
Lol your videos are funny. Glad I sub'd.
I’m glad you did too!!
I've been using this for a few months now, and while it's alright, I don't think it's worth the hype. The weird thing at the bottom of the center column keeps falling out. The ballhead fits literally NO FREAKING PLATES other than a few very select ones. And the rotating thing on the plate thing doesn't lock anymore. Generally, for the price, I'm not happy and I'm currently looking for a replacement.
The f38 tripods are only meant for f38 plates - which is ok by me because I have those things on everything. He bag hook does have tendency to unscrew itself after a while, which I find a bit annoying. I’m surprised about the lock, mine is solid as can be.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks Mark! My mistake on buying a F38 plate mount. Will definitely go with an Arca Swiss or Peak Design one next. Good to hear it's still rocking for you!
for the f38 with ball head... couple issues. first, the lever to release the pivot is extremely tight, takes a ton of force. and then it doesn't move around smoothly at all... did you have to clean yours or add lubricant to it or something?
the original one you mean? the lever will loosen up a little with use - it’s not a fluid head, so it’s meant to help you reposition, but it’s not for smooth video work. the panning function will be smooth though. if you think there is a defect you would contact ulanzi. They’re good at responding
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks. i played with it some more. i figure if i dont cinch it shut all the way, it still keeps it tight enough. i'll prob just do that. and daisy chain it with a quick release to support adding on the fluid head on demand, when i dont mind lugging around that extra weight. overall, no regret in the purchase. took a while to figure out how all the parts attach to each other though without disconnecting or unscrewing accidentally via rotating, etc. thanks for the review
Considering a tripod to replace my old bulky cheap one.
I'm more in photography but am having my feet wet with videography.
I'm a beginner/enthusiast.
I can't afford two tripods.
How would this one work for photography ?
Would you still recommend ?
The price point makes it more appealing than the Zero.
the video tripod will still work great for photography. I really love it
can i use Really Right Stuff L Plate (Arca)?
If you have the extra center column on the Zero why not have the fluid head ready to go on that instead of QR plates?
You definitely can - I have done that - but you have to change out the centre column and you don't have the bowl levelling action anymore (like with the F38 tripod head) and all my cameras have quick release plates fastened to the bottom - so it's also not ideal for speed.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Now I'm considering if I should do what you did there or if it makes more sense to get a second tripod. Are the fluid heads pretty much functionally the same?
they are pretty similar yes
Is the video centric head you get in addition for the f38 ulanzi x Conan the same as the head for the new video tripod as I’ve ordered the ulanzi Conan but am worried I should send it back and get this new video tripod as I’m a videographer. I’m not bothered about the money. Just wondering whether I’d be better off buying the video version of the tripod
It’s not quite the same - no. It does not have a quick release plate. And on its own it doesn’t have a roll balance. What I did with it was attach the bottom of the fluid head to a quick release plate and then attached another f38 baseplate to the top of the fluid head. That way I can just use the fluid head on top of the zero f38 tripod without removing the centre column. Then I can use the roll of the Zero F38 head and it’s all quick on and off. So it’s up to you. they’re both great.
is it frowned upon to use fluid head for both videos and photography vs having 2 separate tripods ?
not frowned upon no - you can do whatever suits your needs. it’s just the non-fluid head is more compact.
I already have the Peak Design tripod, which do you think is better? Just curious, they seem to almost compare the same. Keep up the good work!
I prefer the ulanzi because of the ability to do panoramas, and a levelling head without needing to extend the column. Its also lighter and less than half the price usually.. So it’s the ulanzi for me, but the peak design is great and has a lifetime warranty with amazing customer service.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis The "half the price" answer is probably a solid freaking reason for the Ulanzi. I was on a peak design trip a couple of years ago, love the bags, and so I had to get the tripod. It's been mostly my stand for a projector that I use, but since I purchased the ZVE10 I am dusting it off for it's intended purpose. I can't wait! Thanks for your quick replyl :D
Gosh, which Ulanzi one I should buy.....
That really is the question - for travel I love the f38, for the studio I love the f38 video
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I choose F38, because it will make me look handsome like you. For video, I can buy the fluid head later. thanks for all the video, you helps me a lot.
Great review! How do you do portrait mode with this tripod?
yes - on both you can
I'm looking for a tripod.
I want to do self-portraits and dog photography with it, among other things. I am 1.88 m (6"2) tall and use the Sony ZV-E10.
Portability would tend to be more important than stability.
Budget is 150 dollars, 220 max.
Any recommendations?
Check out this one from KandF amzn.to/43SAEs6
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but this ball head doesn't allow for portrait mode like their other tripods right?
the f38 video tripod does not do portrait mode - the regular f38 does allow it. Ulanzi is coming out with an f38 vertical to horizontal attachment as far as I know which will be helpful
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Very helpful. When I can do fluid wildlife videos and Instagram/TikTok videos with the same travel tripod I'll bite.
How is the longevity on the x aircross tripod now?
I'm using it right now. I use it everyday - in fact, I have two. Both are working like champs.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for the reply. I'm getting one today.
Unbelievable 🔥🔥
Cool you say? :P
20cm of snow tomorrow, perhaps frigid bones as a Canuckian. By the way, Toronto made me sick again haha, 2 times in a row now! Maybe I belong further north?
We're a sickening city
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis What's weird is we stayed at 2 different hotels, backing on each other for both trips and they're right beside Nikon Canada! Nikon is secretly poisoning non-Nikon users :P
Haven't even finished watching but plz tell me this can go horizontal mode?
Yes - both tripods can have the camera positioned horizontally
Good video as usual
Appreciate that
What is an F38 mount? I have been using Arca Swiss compatible QR plates for years. Would I have to have F38 to use this F38 standard QR? Good infomercial
it’s Ulanzi’s quick release system. So in order to use the quick release tripods, you need the quick release f38 plate. the f38 plates would fit on your arca swiss compatible devices, but arca Swiss plates won’t fit into the quick release system.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Gotcha ... thx
Spot on Bro
Isn’t it better with the arca Swiss mount ?
i prefer the qucik release plates - and the quick release plates can fir in a arca swiss mount if you choose.
Is it possible that they might release just the tripod head? I want to use it on my own legs
not sure - but they possibly may release a quick release fluid head stand alone - but I haven’t heard anything
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for your response. You're the one that got me buying a ZV-E10 with a Smallrig cage. Just wish there was a Ulanzi F38 cage for the ZV-E10
Hi Mark, how is this any different to X-Aircross 3 Lite video?
Because of the quick release ball head. The F38 system is a whole quick release system.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis gotcha. Ulanzi got Fotopro to make the tripod and Falcam to make the quick release system. Bam, group project winner 🏆
Great Video!
Thanks!!
will the Peak Design CAPTURE plate work on this video tripod?
No, unfortunately it will not
you can buy another F38 plate ,compatible with this tripod and Peak design capture .
I shoot mostly video. The fotopro is the best for video?
it has the fluid head, so it’s a bit better for video yes.
The tripod looks great however I would imagine the company is in China with no offices or repair facilities in the US or Canada? Please correct me if I am wrong. So am leery about buying something this expensive from a company in China and getting the support we all might need. A lot of times you never hear from companies in China and they wont back up their products?
Ulanzi is good with responding - and they usually replace any tripods with a problem. For me - this tripod is now $171 with all the Black Friday sales - and I've used my two for a year with zero issues. So it's worth it to me - but if you are looking for the best customer service - Peak design is the way to go.
UPDATE ??
Can I mount my sima 150-600 mm(sports) ?
I put my A7iv with the Sigma 150-600 on it, yes. it’s not my first choice for a setup that big, but it gets the job done for sure
Can we put it vertical for portrait ?
the regular f38 tripod you can, but the video one (with fluid head) you cannot
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis How do we do portrait with this fluid head? Attach the camera to a cage and then another f38 plate to the side of the cage? So one f38 plate at the bottom for horizontal and one f38 plate at the side for vertical.
Wow this looks truly fabulous!! I’m hoping to win it in the giveaway for my new ZV-E10 “Doug-ette”🤞🤞
Good vídeo 👌👌
If only it supported manfrotto
Don't buy these commercials masquerading as reviews. This tripod is crappy! I have only used this tripod very lightly and about two months, the so called "quick release" got stuck and would not even move!!! Just a stupid waste of money
It’s likely wedged in a little or the lock is on. I have three of these tripods I’ve used daily for a year and they’re still great. Packing one in my luggage for a trip for tomorrow. I don’t do commercials. I don’t get paid for reviews and I review a lot of tripods on my channel. This one is the best. I’m sure you’ll unstick the quick release. If not - contact Ulanzi - they will help you out.
