Really happy with this one. It folds down into a compact tube, so it's easy to take along, and it sets up in seconds. The magnetic mount holds my iPhone securely, and the folding arm makes it easy to switch between portrait and landscape or adjust the angle. The four legs keep it stable on my desk, and the extendable center column gives enough height for talking-head videos and calls. Solid build, clean design: exactly what I needed for filming at home.
With this bracket I can now eliminate monitor stands for my video cameras. I can also use these brackets to mount cameras on railings and lighting bars. Very useful for my dance, recitals and theatrical video productions.

bought this on a whim - i wanted a small screen that i could customize for my AI work so i can monitor my remote agents. it was cheap, under $100 so i thought i'd give it a go. got it working with the standard firmware in 10 mins, you just connect to its wifi and yeah it's in chinese but just put it into chrome and click show as english. had a look at the options and decided to update the firmware to awtrix.
actually i didn't personally do any of that! claude code gave me the option and i updated and voila now it's fully programmable using a small onboard language called berry which looks like a limited javascript. i asked claude to make me a world clock with the 4 major timezones i work with, a page to show how my release process is going, a page to show what the agents are doing. i got it to make me a pomodoro timer which can also track progress and breaks during the day. took maybe an hour all up and you can connect to the device directly - because of berry you don't need a computer driving this for simple stuff like clocks and timers. so i can carry it to meetings etc - i think the battery lasts maybe 1-2 hrs, probably enough. all this took maybe 1hr from unpacking to getting it all going.
there are quite a few buttons on this thing. a volume control like thing, with about 20 notches on a rotation - i use this to change screens. then a volume + - thing with a middle click also. easily enough to map a simple app like the pomodoro timer onto the controls... it has a dock which is ok, would be nicer if it was slightly slanted but it works ok. you can plug directly into the side without the dock. quaility is ok, feels a bit flimsy but good enough.
so i'm pretty happy with it. resolution is not super high, but enough with scrolling and very legible. you can make it really bright. makes a set of noises, when you restart after flashing awtrix it says something so it's obviously capable of speech. used with an agentic AI assistant it's really trivial to configure this crazy fast to do all sorts of useful things and it's basically standalone with the awtrix firmare and needs no computer to do timers etc.
actually an update - i just got claude code to craft a process on my mac that connects to outlook and announces with speech synthesis (which is apparently a device capability!) when a new meeting is starting "e.g. one on one meeting coming up in 5 minutes with george and jane"... so that's pretty cool, but it does require the mac to drive it, but the mac is doing it via wifi so i can still carry it around the building.
so yeah it's a pretty killer device with strong hardware but you need to reflash with awtrix. am really enjoying using it, and it works really well with agentic coding assistants.
I honestly just bought it because it was neat, but I actually use it a lot and it is very convenient. Oh, and it charges pretty fast as well. I love it!
Thank you!
Very satisfied with the product. it has 2 accessories so that i can use the support at home and at work, it keeps my phone charged, and i can listen, watch my content easily.
I use the Ulanzi AU05 VibeKey every single day on my Microsoft Surface Book 3 setup with two extended monitors alongside Google Antigravity, and honestly, it’s an absolute joy to work with.
There will probably be future evolutions of the product, because for heavy AI users, this form factor is a game-changer. It completely relaxes the way you approach AI: instead of staying hunched over the keyboard typing endless prompts, you can lean back, hold it in your hand or leave it on the desk, and speak naturally—not only inside an AI coding/writing environment, but across any other app on your screens (including dictating this very comment right now!).
The real magic happened when we paired the AU05’s built-in microphone with a 100% local installation of OpenAI Whisper (Large-v3-Turbo via OpenWhispr) running directly on the local NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) with zero cloud quotas, 100% privacy, and a 120-second continuous speech buffer.
Once you dial in the button programming in Ulanzi Studio using the Action Combination module (which gives each physical key 3 distinct states: Single Click, Double Click, and Long Press), this tiny 3-key + 1-knob unit actually gives you 12 instant commands under one thumb:
1. Top Built-in Microphone:
Captures crystal-clear voice even at a comfortable desk distance and feeds it straight into local Whisper Large-v3-Turbo with automatic punctuation and auto-paste into the active cursor field.
2. Rotary Smart Knob (Top):
- Rotate Left / Right: Smoothly scrolls up and down through long AI conversations and research documents without touching the mouse.
- Knob Click: Backspace — instantly deletes the last word or character if needed.
3. Key 1 (Top — Voice & Capture):
- 1x Click: F8 — Toggles Whisper Mic recording on/off (1 click to speak freely hands-free, 1 click to stop and auto-paste the transcribed paragraph).
- 2x Click: Shift + Return — Inserts a clean line break / new paragraph without sending the message.
- Long Press: Win + Shift + S — Triggers the Windows screen-snipping tool.
4. Key 2 (Middle — Confirm & Edit):
- 1x Click: Return (Enter) — Validates and sends the dictated prompt straight to Antigravity.
- 2x Click: Esc — Cancels or closes an active dialog.
- Long Press: Ctrl + A — Selects all text in the input box.
5. Key 3 (Bottom — Focus & Clipboard):
- 1x Click: Runs a custom FocusChat utility that immediately brings the Antigravity window to the foreground across my 3 screens (Surface Book 3 + 2 extended monitors—whether I’m browsing on Chrome, watching YouTube, or on WhatsApp) and places the cursor straight into the AI prompt box.
- 2x Click: Ctrl + C — Copies selected text.
- Long Press: Ctrl + V — Pastes a screenshot or clipboard content directly into the chat.
Beyond the workflow, I also love its subtle retro aesthetic: that square, perforated microphone head at the top brings back warm memories of the classic handheld dynamic mics from the 1960s and 70s reel-to-reel tape recorders that our fathers loved and used in their day. A wonderful bridge between vintage tactile craftsmanship and modern AI!
Ik gebruik het hele F38 snelsysteem op alles wat ik heb en dat maakt het heerlijk flexibel! Tot dusver heb ik de schouderriem, de tripod en de rugzakclip waardoor ik altijd in een handomdraai van de ene naar de andere kan wisselen en erg snel ben met foto's maken. De bevestiging is zeer stevig en het risico op vallen is nihil. Ik werk hier nu zo'n 3 maanden mee en wil niets anders meer!
Dit is een van mijn beste aankopen tot nu toe! De tripod is licht, staat in enkele seconden en is zeer handig te bedienen. Ik heb hem nu enkele weken in bezit. De poten zijn erg stevig en buigen niet of nauwelijks door. Ingeklapt is hij heerlijk klein, ik hang hem op onder mijn rugzak en dat gaat prima. Ook het omdraaien van de centerkolom voor lage fotografie is eenvoudig. Erg blij mee!
I really like the Ulanzi TC002 and I use it for my own custom applications and integrations. The hardware is great and offers a lot of possibilities for creative projects.
However, I think the software and firmware could still be improved. In my experience, the device freezes quite frequently, which can be frustrating, especially when running custom applications.
Overall, it is a very interesting and versatile device with great potential. With improved software stability, it would be even better.
Such a cool clock, and much more!
I absolutely love the display. The pixels all have a very uniform gradient to them that just look so high quality. I updated the firmware to AWTRIX NG and the customization is simply incredible.
This is an excellent value, for this product and a really cool and unique accessory for your desk, or etc.
For over 1 week, the tape doesnt stick. I have to continuously adjust in and restick it again. I even change the other 2nd base tape but still the same. Im getting pissed.
I tried the bag on a trip as soon as I received it. Although I have other sling bags for my camera equipment, this one was the perfect size. I pul my Luna Ultra and all accessories I needed for the trip with room to spare. I am planning on a second trip and will have no problem adding a go ultra or x6 to the bag. Great deal!!
I wanted to mount my Mac Minis in a 10in rack for a small local cluster, but didn't like the 3D printed designs, so I decided to modify these cases with a custom panel. I needed a simple case that didn't have the extra ports or ssd stuff, and this fit the bill perfectly. A few tolerance mistakes with the bends, and the drill jig was a challenge, but I have four of them now, all in the rack with a JetKVM mount and two slots for inserts (one for keystones, another for a future SSD caddy). I even reused the little handles! Overall the cases look fantastic in the rack, and really works for the build I was going for!
The Ulanzi D200X Creative Deck has quickly become a useful part of my daily workflow. I’ve customised it with shortcuts for the apps I use most frequently, as well as specific actions in Photoshop, so everything I need is literally at my fingertips. It has noticeably shortened my editing time, esp when I’m processing multiple images at one go. One feature I particularly like is the turn dial, which gives me precise control when adjusting brush settings in Photoshop without constantly reaching for the keyboard and mouse. There’s plenty of flexibility to customise the deck around the way you work, rather than having to change your workflow around the device. Overall, I’m a very happy user and it turned out to be a great purchase.
Great backpack in terms of materials and thoughtful design. I really like the extra space above the camera compartment, as well as the many front pockets.
The ULANZI tripod is an absolute game-changer that brilliantly strikes the perfect balance between ultra-portable design and rock-solid stability. Built with surprisingly premium materials that feel study rather than cheap, it offers effortless position adjustments, a butter-smooth ball head for seamless framing, and a compact form factor that fits into any bag without adding dead weight. Whether you need a reliable tabletop stand for precise shots or a sturdy handheld grip on the go, this gear delivers exceptional, professional-grade performance at a price point that frankly puts overhyped, expensive competitors to shame.

I am not using the Remote Control Lighting System for Lights, rather then Microphones, Shotguns to be percise hung on the 1st bridge of our Theater. This allows me to have presets for specific Productions/Scenes and recall the Mic positions. This became a Production item and I am, thus far, very happy with it.

Attaches easily and feels secure. All metal construction feels really nice. The flexible hinges are tight enough to easily move the Osmo into any position and maintain it. Minimal footprint on the Osmo unit which for me is preferable, but for some may not feel like enough protection from bumps/scratches. Being able to attach my phone to capture backup video, selfie video, alternate portrait/landscape video is really useful.
The only thing I would like is to maybe have a stronger magnet especially when I'm using it outdoors and am worried about it falling. It feels less secure compared to my previous adapter but that one did have a full rectangular magnet so it was naturally stronger.
Otherwise would definitely recommend.
