The Ulanzi MT-81 (T080GBB1) is a sturdy aluminum video tripod with a fluid head, a 75mm half-ball joint, and a load capacity of up to 8 kg. It is designed for smooth panning and tilting with video cameras, mirrorless cameras, and DSLRs when filming interviews, events, documentaries, or studio productions.
The Ulanzi MT‑81 combines twin aluminum legs, a mid-level spreader and an 8 kg-capacity fluid head. It is designed for interviews, documentary work, event production and studio shooting with camcorders, mirrorless cameras or DSLRs.
The 75 mm half ball lets you level the horizon quickly without laboriously fine-tuning all three legs.
Three sections with large flip locks let you adjust the working height quickly from 75 to 155 cm. The twin tubes increase torsional rigidity, while the mid-level spreader maintains the leg geometry during panning and on uneven ground.
The tripod measures 80 cm when folded and weighs approximately 3.4 kg, so its priority is dependable support for a professional camera setup.
The head provides 360° panning and −75° to +90° tilt. Its removable pan handle supports controlled movement, while the built-in bubble level makes precise setup easier.
The quick-release plate carries both 1/4″‑20 and 3/8″‑16 screws for camcorders, cameras, cages and compact cinema rigs. A separate 1/4″‑20 accessory thread accepts a monitor or another lightweight accessory.
