Ulanzi MT-44 2-in
Score: 59/100Rankings
The JOILCAN 74" tripod provides a tall 187.9 cm extension and a robust 6.8 kg load capacity while remaining under 1.2 kg, plus a 3-way pan head and extensive accessories. Its basic head and wind stability concerns may affect precision work. Great for vloggers and casual shooters needing height and versatility.
The Ulanzi MT-44 combines a compact selfie-stick design with a 360° ball head, offering a lightweight ABS build and phone clamp for versatile on-the-go shooting. Its main drawbacks are the low 1.5 kg load limit and plastic construction that reduces rigidity. It's perfect for content creators using smartphones or small mirrorless cameras.

Professional reviewers are scarce, but the available YouTube unboxing notes the Joilcan 74" offers impressive height and low weight, positioning it as a solid travel option. However, editors caution that the lack of independent durability testing and the modest 15 lb load limit keep it from being classified as a premium solution.
Consumers consistently highlight the tripod's portability, tall extension, and quick-lock system as major strengths, while noting stability issues in wind and a basic head compared to higher-end models.
Professional reviewers consistently highlight the MT-44's multifunctional nature, stable base, smooth 360° ball head and secure non-spring phone clamp as strong points, while noting its modest 1.5 kg load capacity and lighter ABS build limit its suitability for heavier professional gear.
Everyday users echo the professional praise for portability and ease of use, valuing the quick setup, compact folded size and reliable phone grip, though they also acknowledge the limited load capacity and wish for a more robust feel for heavier equipment.
“"Best for beginners and vloggers due to its height and load capacity"”
“"Stability can be compromised in windy conditions without extra weight"”
