### Ulanzi Zero F38 travel tripod

**[Ulanzi Zero F38 Quick Release Travel Tripod (3131)](https://www.ulanzi.com/products/ulanzi-f38-quick-release-travel-tripod-3131)** — **carbon fibre** travel legs with a **built-in ball head** that uses the **Falcam F38** quick-release (not a generic Arca clamp on the integrated head). Ulanzi ships an **extra centre column** so you can fit a separate **Arca-Swiss** head if you replace the column/head assembly yourself (Arca head not in the base box).

| | Zero F38 (vendor listing) |
|--|--|
| Folded length | ~**42.3 cm** |
| Max height | ~**159 cm** |
| Weight | ~**1.1 kg** |
| Load (claimed) | ~**18 kg** |
| Leg sections | **5**; leg angles **20° / 55° / 75°** |
| Head | Integrated **F38** ball head (not user-detachable per FAQ); **removable short column** for low angles |

**Bundles:** same product page often sells add-ons (**backpack clip**, **shoulder strap F38 mount**, **Peak Design–compatible plate**) — see [Straps](/photography/accessories/straps/) for the shoulder QR kit.

**Practically:** premium **travel** size, but **F38-only** on the stock head; ideal if you already committed to **F38** plates across tripod, clip, and strap. If you need **Kirk L-bracket / generic Arca** on the built-in head only, read Ulanzi’s FAQ: use the spare column with your own Arca head instead.
