Ulanzi MT-16
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Endurax ETR60 is a lightweight 60-inch aluminum travel tripod featuring a 3-way pan head, integrated bubble level, phone/tablet holder, and Bluetooth remote. Its modest 3 kg load capacity and occasional leg slippage limit use with heavier equipment. Perfect for entry-level DSLR users and vloggers seeking portability.
The ULANZI MT-16 is an ultra-light, pocket-sized 2-in-1 tripod and selfie stick featuring a 360° metal ball head and cold shoe, making it ideal for lightweight cameras up to 1.5 kg. Its short 44 cm maximum height and limited stability on uneven surfaces restrict its use for taller subjects or demanding outdoor shoots. Best suited for beginner vloggers and travel creators needing extreme portability.

Professional reviewers commend the Endurax for its feather-light construction, rapid 60-inch extension, and solid aluminum legs that hold up well in wind. They also appreciate the built-in bubble level, 3-way pan head, and the 33-foot Bluetooth remote, describing it as a sturdy, travel-ready option for beginners and vloggers. However, they flag occasional leg slippage on smooth surfaces, conflicting weight claims, and the lack of a reversible column as drawbacks for more demanding shooting scenarios.
Everyday users echo the professional praise, highlighting the tripod's portability, quick setup, and versatility with phones, tablets, and entry-level DSLRs. Common praise centers on the lightweight feel, included carry bag, and remote functionality. Recurring complaints involve occasional slipping on slick floors, confusion over the exact weight, and the limited maximum height for taller users.
Professional reviewers consider the MT-16 a budget-friendly, ultra-compact option that excels in portability and quick setup. They commend its lightweight build, intuitive twist-lock extension, and versatile mounting options, but caution that its short 44 cm reach, limited base stability, and ball-head wobble under near-max loads make it less suitable for heavier gear or demanding outdoor scenarios.
Everyday users love the MT-16 for its pocket-size convenience, easy 360° adjustments, and the ability to add lights or microphones via the cold shoe. Common complaints focus on stability issues on uneven surfaces, the ball head loosening with heavier cameras, and a perception of cheap plastic components, especially given the limited height for eye-level shooting.
