The MT-59 Multifunction Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head from Ulanzi is a highly versatile support solution for macro photography featuring a maximum load of 33.1 lb, a maximum height of 69.3", and a low-angle design enabling it to shoot as low as 8.3". Meanwhile, its angled center column supports a wide range of other features to meet your needs while shooting in the field. When folded, its compact length of 20.1" and low weight of 5.4 lb make it easy to carry and transport.

Angled Center Column

The angled base support of the center column allows you access to a wide range of shooting angles, with 360° panning and 180° of tilt. It can be used as a conventional center column for higher angles or inverted for low-angle shooting. The design also maintains your access to a wide array of angles even when the legs are fully deployed. The one-click button makes it easy to secure and release, and independent locking knobs for angle and height add even further security and control. The scaled marks help with precise positioning and repeatable setups.

Ball Head

The attached ball head offers another point of 360° panning, adding more control and precision to your setup, and a 90° drop notch makes it easy to get extra tilt or quickly re-orient your camera for vertical shooting. Independent pan and tilt knobs make these easy to control, and its Arca-type design allows for wide compatibility. The quick-release plate's knob features a bubble level for assistance finding your desired orientation, and the included Arca-type quick release plate helps you get started shooting quickly right out of the box.

Tripod Legs

The 4-section twist lock legs offer security and contribute to the tripod's versatile angles of shooting. They can reach a shooting height of 58.7" without the center column, while their independent 180° locking angles help you get low for macro shooting. One of the legs is fully removable for conversion into use as a monopod, with added padding for comfort. A bubble level and ¼"-20 mounting thread offer even further convenience when finding your ideal position or attaching other accessories and equipment
