Product Information
Full details
The Ulanzi MA38 4-in-1 Magnetic Phone Tripod is an essential tool for content creators, travelers, and mobile photographers who require a compact, multi-functional mounting solution for MagSafe-enabled devices. It seamlessly transforms from a handheld selfie stick into a stable tabletop tripod or a hands-free viewing stand, offering extreme versatility in a pocket-sized package. While its magnetic mounting system is highly convenient for quick adjustments, users should note that it is strictly optimized for iPhone 12 through 17 models, and non-MagSafe devices will require additional accessories to function.

FAQs
Does this work with non-iPhone devices?
It will only work with Android devices or older iPhones if you attach a MagSafe-compatible magnetic ring sticker to the phone or case.
Can I charge my phone while it is on the tripod?
The MA38 is a mounting accessory and does not provide passthrough charging capabilities.
Is the aluminum frame water-resistant?
The aluminum is corrosion-resistant, but it is not waterproof. Always dry it thoroughly if it gets wet.
How much weight can the tripod support?
It is designed to support the weight of standard iPhone models; adding heavy external lenses or accessories may affect stability.
Can I use it in portrait and landscape modes?
Yes, the magnetic design allows you to rotate your phone freely to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.
Troubleshooting
Phone is not attaching securely to the mount
Ensure your phone is not inside a non-MagSafe case or verify that your case has a built-in magnetic ring.
Tripod legs are feeling loose
Check the hinge screws and tighten them carefully if they have loosened due to extended use.
Mount feels slippery during rotation
Clean the surface of the magnet and the back of your phone to remove any oils or dust that might compromise the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: There is no complex assembly required. Simply align your MagSafe-equipped iPhone with the mounting plate, and the magnets will engage automatically. To use as a tripod, unfold the base legs until they lock into position.
Compatibility: This device is specifically engineered for iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 models that support MagSafe technology. Older iPhones or Android devices will require a third-party magnetic ring adapter to achieve a secure fit.
Care: To maintain the device, wipe down the aluminum surface with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the magnetic surface is free from debris to maintain a strong bond with your phone. Avoid using harsh chemicals, and keep the hinge mechanisms clear of sand or grit to prevent stiffness over time.
