The center shaft can be unscrewed and removed if you want to get the tripod super close to the ground, and that whole center column can even be fully inverted if you want to hang the camera above a subject as well. As mentioned, there is even a really nice smartphone clip deftly hidden inside that center shaft so you can use the tripod with your iPhone or Android device at a moment’s notice. MT-16 features double functionality: it works as a stable holder and can also be used as a comfortable ergonomic grip to capture great videos, take selfies and incredible images that really stand out from the rest.

It's travel friendly, easy to carry around as it extends 22cm when folding, and weighs only 170g.The tripod also has the possibility of becoming a light stand by swapping out the centre shaft for a VC4 Light Pole *. With an adjustable height from 15.3cm to 156cm, the Lightweight ZERO-Y Travel Carbon Fibre Tripod has a multitude of application scenarios. The centre column maxload of 18kg, ballhead maxload of 5kg, and the use of a 1/4” expansion screw for holding a mobile phone, microphone, fill light, or other attachment makes the tripod adaptable to any setup.

The only downside I can see to the miniaturization of all these parts is that they might not be the easiest to handle in the cold. All of the screws and joints are very small and made of aluminum, so they’re not going to be easy to grab when wearing gloves and they might hurt if you have to keep twisting and untwisting them with bare hands in sub-zero temperatures. Those of you with bigger hands and fingers will feel this the most. For outdoor shooting, 3 stainless steel foot screws are included for switching to these more spike-shaped feet on surfaces such as sand or wet grass, increasing stability. The centre column has the ability to be fully inverted to attach your camera beneath the tripod. Ideal for macro or product photography, as well as environments where there isn’t enough room to have it on the lowest leg angle setting. This lightweight carbon fibre tripod is perfectly designed for travel. Shrinking down to 42.3cm the tripod is easy to store, and at only 1kg it is light to carry around. While the X-Aircross F38 doesn’t compact down quite as small as Peak’s Tripod, it is remarkably lightweight at just over two pounds total and doesn’t ask me to sacrifice any usability that I would expect from a full-size video tripod. That fact alone is extremely impressive. Ulanzi and Fotopro managed to create a tripod that shows sparks of real innovation in the stabilization space, which is quite the rarity these days outside of adding electronics into the equation.
