Setup and Assembly

- Unfold Tripod Legs: Gently rotate the red knob at the bottom of the handle to unlock the tripod legs.

Operating Instructions
The ULANZI MT-71 offers flexible operation across its three modes:
1. Tripod Mode
Once the legs are extended and locked, the MT-71 functions as a stable tripod. The wide base and tripod lock provide strong support, even on slightly uneven ground. This mode is ideal for stationary shots, time-lapses, or hands-free recording.
2. Selfie Stick Mode
With the legs folded and the telescopic rod extended, the MT-71 transforms into a selfie stick. The 7-section adjustment allows you to achieve various lengths, up to 59 inches, for wide-angle selfies or group shots.
3. Handle/Vlog Handle Mode
When the telescopic rod is retracted and the legs are folded, the MT-71 serves as a comfortable handle. This mode is perfect for handheld vlogging, action shots, or improving grip stability for your camera.
