Victiv Camera Monopod
Score: 72/100
Ulanzi MT-44 2-in
Score: 59/100Rankings
The Victiv T72 is a lightweight aluminum tripod-monopod that converts quickly, includes a wireless remote and phone/tablet holder, and supports up to 15 kg of gear. The head is less refined and monopod mode reduces load capacity, which may affect heavy-gear users. It targets amateur photographers and vloggers seeking height and convenience.
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, primarily a YouTube demo, commend the T72 for its affordability, solid aluminum construction, and smooth head adjustments, noting its stable performance across a wide height range. However, they point out that the head lacks the precision of higher-end models and that the monopod mode is not ideal for heavy gear.
Everyday users consistently praise the T72's sturdiness, especially when holding spotting scopes or shooting in breezy conditions, and appreciate its quick setup and travel-friendly weight. The main recurring themes are limited review volume and caution about using the monopod with heavier equipment, as well as some remarks on the head's refinement.
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.
“Very sturdy... holds my spotting scope in place does not move around”
“Best tripod I've ever owned! Stability of the legs... even during breezes was amazing”
