ULANZI MT85 magnetic tripod 59 inch
Product description
A quick, reliable way to steady your phone for photos and video is the goal of the ULANZI MT85 Magnetic Tripod, designed to pop open fast and help you capture shots with less fuss. Its magnetic mount and Bluetooth remote make it easier to set up and shoot from a comfortable position, whether you are filming at home, capturing travel moments, or getting content for social media. With the pop open, four leg support, and a strong magnet, it is built around practical use rather than complicated setup.
The MT85 is a magnetic tripod with a 59 inch height, using an automatically opening and closing design that aims to reduce the time spent wrestling with stiff legs. You place it down, the legs snap open instantly, and you get a more hands free setup. When you are done, the stand folds back down in an automated motion so it is simpler to pack away for the next outing 🙂📷.
The essentials
The key advantage is speed and stability together, so you can go from drop to ready without long adjustments. The four leg support adds confidence when you set it on tables, floors, or other everyday surfaces, and non slip pads help keep the stand where you put it. On the phone side, the dual sided magnetic mount lets you position a device and also attach other magnetic compatible gear, so you can build your setup in a flexible way. It is the sort of tripod that fits routine shooting, not just special sessions.
Magnetic mounting is designed for everyday convenience. The front side magnetic force is rated at 20N, and the back side magnetic force is rated up to 25N, using N52 magnets according to the manufacturer. That matters if you want your phone to stay put when you start filming or when you tap the remote to begin recording. There is also a note to keep in mind: magnet compatibility varies by phone model and whether you use a MagSafe case, so check your setup before relying on it for an important shoot.

Key features
The automatic pop open design is built to remove the most annoying part of using tripods, stiff legs and slow unfolding. You simply set it down and the legs snap open instantly, then you can start framing while your hands are free for other tasks. When you are finished, the same design concept supports easier closing and packing, which is helpful if you shoot between locations or on a busy schedule.
Another standout is the dual sided magnetic mount, which is intended for a neat two sided setup. You can mount your phone on one side while also mounting other magnetic compatible accessories on the other side. This can be useful when you want to keep a consistent shooting position but still add gear for a more complete setup, for example when filming yourself and adjusting lighting. The magnets are rated with specific force figures for the front and back sides, which gives you a clearer idea of the holding strength for practical use.
For shooting, the Bluetooth remote is a convenient way to control your shots without rushing back to your phone. The remote supports up to 10 m range, so you can step away for group photos or keep the phone at a stable position for longer video clips. Press once and you can capture photos or videos from a distance, which is especially handy when you are filming yourself, setting up a scene, or reducing shake.
Phone compatibility is broad. The manufacturer states compatibility with 99% of smartphones, with iPhones from series 12 to 17 usable directly or with a MagSafe case. Other phones such as Google Pixel, Samsung, and Motorola can be used with the included magnetic ring. If you are switching phones often, the ring approach can make it easier to keep using the same magnetic mount across devices.
What you’ll notice day to day
It makes sense if you want a tripod that is quick to deploy and easy to carry, with steadier support from four legs rather than a single central stance. You will likely appreciate how much effort it removes when you are setting up between locations, because the pop open design helps you start shooting in seconds. Worth considering if you shoot handheld style but want the steadiness of a stand for videos, product shots, or repeatable angles.
It might not suit you if your priority is a large, heavy tripod that stays put at all costs in very uneven conditions, because this is designed to be compact and travel friendly. It may not be a great match if you need guaranteed mounting for a specific phone without using the stated MagSafe case approach or the included magnetic ring. For most everyday mobile creators, though, the balance of automatic setup, four leg stability, and magnetic convenience is the main reason it earns a place in your kit. 🤳📸
