A Selfie Stick and Tripod That Actually Packs Small

The Ulanzi MT98 Foldable Selfie Stick is designed for creators who want the reach of a selfie stick and the convenience of a mini tripod without carrying two separate accessories.

It folds down to just 17cm, even with a compatible camera left attached, making it much easier to carry in a sling, camera bag or travel pack. When you need more distance, it extends to 57cm for group shots, wider perspectives and third-person action-camera footage.

The base converts into tripod legs, so you can quickly move from handheld shooting to a stable tabletop or ground-level setup for timelapses, vlogs, group photos or self-recording. A damped pivot mechanism also lets you adjust the camera angle rather than being limited to a fixed straight-ahead position.

For compatible Insta360 cameras, the narrow stick can disappear from stitched 360° footage, making the MT98 particularly useful for travel and action content where you want a cleaner third-person perspective.

Our Take

The MT98 makes the most sense for travel and action-camera users who want to carry fewer accessories.

Instead of packing a dedicated invisible selfie stick plus a separate mini tripod, the MT98 handles both roles while folding to about the length of a large smartphone. That makes it especially appealing for Insta360 users, travel vloggers and people shooting themselves regularly.

Its 57cm maximum extension is deliberately moderate. If your priority is dramatic drone-like 360° perspectives, a longer 1m+ Insta360 stick will give you more separation from the camera. But for everyday travel, cafés, walking shots, tabletop filming and group photos, the MT98 is much easier to carry.

Also keep the 500g payload in mind. This is best suited to action cameras and lightweight compact setups, not heavier mirrorless cameras with large lenses.

Fold It Down and Leave the Camera Attached

The MT98 collapses to approximately 17cm, making it much easier to pack than a traditional selfie stick.

Its folding camera mount means a compatible action camera can remain attached when stored, so you can take it out and start shooting without rebuilding the setup each time.

From Bag to Shooting Position in Seconds

The folding mechanism is designed around fast deployment rather than separate removable parts.

A built-in metal carry loop also gives you the option of clipping the MT98 to a bag using a suitable carabiner, while the supplied lanyard adds extra security during handheld shooting.

Use It With More Than One Camera

The standard 1/4" mounting screw makes the MT98 suitable for a range of lightweight cameras rather than locking it into one brand.

Ulanzi currently lists compatible Insta360 and DJI Action models, while cameras without a standard 1/4" mounting point can be used with the appropriate adapter.

Switch From Selfie Stick to Tripod Without Changing Accessories

Pull out the integrated legs when you need to put the camera down for a group shot, timelapse, livestream or self-recording setup.

That is the MT98's biggest advantage over a conventional invisible selfie stick: you don't need to carry a separate mini tripod.

Tilt the Camera to Get the Angle You Want

The adjustable pivot uses a high-resistance mechanism to hold the camera at different angles instead of limiting you to a fixed vertical position.

This is useful for low-angle shots, tabletop filming and framing yourself when the tripod is positioned below eye level.

Make the Stick Disappear in Compatible Insta360 Footage

When used with compatible Insta360 360° cameras, the selfie stick can be automatically removed from the stitched footage.

That makes it easy to create third-person walking, travel and action shots where the camera appears to float alongside you.

Extend to 57cm When You Need More Distance

Pull the stick out to a maximum of 57cm for wider group selfies, higher or lower camera angles and more natural third-person framing.

It is intentionally shorter than many dedicated Insta360 selfie sticks, but that trade-off is what allows the MT98 to fold into such a compact package.

How long is the Ulanzi MT98?

It folds to approximately 17cm and extends to a maximum length of 57cm.

Can the Ulanzi MT98 be used as a tripod?

Yes. Integrated tripod legs fold out from the handle, allowing you to switch between handheld selfie-stick use and a tabletop or ground-supported tripod.

Does the Ulanzi MT98 fit Insta360 X5 and X6?

Yes. Ulanzi currently lists Insta360 X5 and X6 among the officially compatible models.

Can I use the MT98 with DJI Osmo Action cameras?

Yes. Ulanzi currently lists DJI Action 4, 5, 6 and 6 Nano compatibility. Cameras without a native 1/4" mounting interface require an appropriate adapter.

How much weight can the MT98 support?

Ulanzi rates the MT98 for equipment weighing up to 500g. It is intended primarily for action cameras and lightweight compact setups.

Is the MT98 better than a regular Insta360 selfie stick?

It depends on your priority. The MT98 is much more versatile because it also becomes a tripod and folds to only 17cm. A longer dedicated Insta360 selfie stick is better if maximum reach and exaggerated third-person perspectives are your priority.
