<summary>Question: Do I need a MagSafe phone or case to use the MT-84?</summary>
<div>
Answer: The MT-84 attaches magnetically, so a MagSafe-equipped iPhone (12 and newer) snaps on directly. For non-MagSafe phones (most Android), you stick the included magnetic ring to the back of your phone or case — that converts any phone into a MagSafe-style attachment. Once the magnetic ring is on, the connection is identical in strength to a native MagSafe phone.

<summary>Question: How tall does it extend and how compact does it fold?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Extends to **153cm (60.24in)** — tall enough for full-body floor-stand use. Folds down to roughly the size of a thick pen, fits in a jacket pocket or bag side pocket. The same unit functions as a selfie stick (handheld), a tabletop tripod (closed legs), or a full-height floor stand.

<summary>Question: Does it come with a remote shutter?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — a Bluetooth remote with **10m range** is included. Pairs with iOS Camera app and most Android camera apps. Removable from the handle, so you can hold the remote in your other hand while the tripod stays planted.

<summary>Question: Can I shoot vertical / horizontal / overhead with the same setup?
</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — the magnetic phone mount rotates 360°, plus a ball head underneath allows full tilt range. Vertical (TikTok / Reels), horizontal (YouTube), and downward-angled (overhead product shots) all without re-rigging.

<summary>Question: Will the magnet hold a Pro Max / Plus-sized phone?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — the N52-grade magnet is rated for full-weight iPhone 16 Pro Max class devices (~230g) including a slim case. For very thick cases (Otterbox Defender, rugged off-road cases) the magnet-to-MagSafe distance grows too large; in that scenario remove the phone from the case before mounting, or use the magnetic ring sticker on the case directly.

<summary>Question: How is the MT-84 different from the MT-44 / MT-08 in Ulanzi's lineup?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **MT-44** uses a screw-in phone clamp (more universal but slower to mount/unmount). **MT-08** is a compact handheld design. **MT-84** is the magnetic version — fastest mount/unmount, cleaner look, but requires MagSafe phone or the included ring sticker. Pick MT-84 if you put on/take off your phone many times per day; pick MT-44 if you swap between different phones a lot.

<summary>Question: Can it hold a small camera, not just a phone?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Magnetic mount is phone-only. If you want to put a small camera (Sony ZV-1, action cam, mirrorless under ~600g) on top instead, the tripod has a standard 1/4" screw under the magnetic plate. Unscrew the magnetic disc, attach the camera directly. The magnetic disc holds itself with its own thread, so swapping back and forth takes 5 seconds.
