Today I'm taking a look at the Ulanzi Fast Claw Clip with other accessories in the same system.
And you can see how they interchange with their quick release.
Ulanzi did send me these items to check out. I will be keeping them,
potentially be using them in future videos.
Let's get started!
You have the quick release.
You've got a lock here and this attaches to any type of backpack or whatever else
with a strap you want.
Also has strap lugs for whatever use you might think of to use those!
Besides the Fast Claw Clip we have the Fast Claw itself.
This has screw holes on the bottom, 1/4"-20...
And also rails for arca swiss style mounts.
Here we have the U-100 with the built-in Ulanzi quick release system.
This is super high quality feeling. I like it a lot!
And the most interesting thing about the U-100 is this cold shoe on the side.
Here is the largest item they sent me, the MT-45.
Different thing here is that there are some plastics involved.
The other items are all metal except for the rubber obviously.
However, the whole head area is metal.
Alright, I'm going to take all of this stuff out.
Try to use it together, see how it works as a system.
The flexible tripod, MT-45 with the GoPro at the moment, Max Lens Mod.
If I wanted to switch this out,
take this one with another quick release... lock it in. Turn it on. Hit the record button!
So in this case we have the M6 Mark II from Canon recording.
GoPro... lock into here. Lock it down.
Got this the wrong direction! haha
Oh, it's brisk!
M6 Mark II with the U-100.
I have the Z5 with the Fast Clip... and the GoPro with the MT-45.
My hands are freezing already.
I... ahh... if I had an extra, like robot arm, it would be even better!
Ulanzi, you should look into robot arms.
There we go.
Okay hand...
So in this case, unlock, pop it... ahh, had the door open the whole time!
There we go.
I can switch this off... my hands are just super cold honestly.
Lock this in.
Rotate it upwards.
So now I've got a setup here that I can (point) of view camera.
That works nicely to have some interesting possibilities where I can quickly switch them out.
If I wanted to use it here I could obviously.
Lock it in...
Maybe long exposure.
Really doesn't matter, but the goal is to see the differences in how it all
works together, sets up together.
There is a tool built into the Fast Claw Clip and it attaches in there with a strong magnet.
So you shouldn't lose that most likely.
Inside you've got two clamps.
One clamp with the red... you can lock down mechanically.
You can adjust the thickness.
In this case you can loosen this as much as you want.
Also, loosen this and then you've got your thickness.
On the inside we've got some rubber here on one side and just flat metal on the other.
So what we have here comes up and then it will lock down based on how thick your strap is.
Clamps down to any strap... widest is 69mm, and then the thickness of 12mm, max load 2.5 KG.
Got the instructions, very simple graphical instructions which is nice.
You don't a bunch of words to get the point across.
The main thing to take note of here is the locking mechanism, pushes to the side.
Metal clamps that lock into the quick release on the side
and there are some little pins that help it align, I assume.
You can either push it down or push the buttons at the same time.
Got this going here, I'm going to switch these two so that I can
do an interesting viewpoint with the tripod, but it works the best with the GoPro.
So the GoPro... lock it in.
Alright!
Take some photos.
Easily just lock it back in, lock it down.
Pick up my other camera.
I have the 85mm on this camera, but if I wanted to use the wide angle from the M6 Mark II...
Could easily switch them out, flip them over.
Put this down... clearly.
Take this off.
Here we go!
And we've got the wide angle ready to go now.
You can easily lock it down.
Go fetch my other camera.
Alright!
You are going onto me.
Lock that in.
Pull out the M6 Mark II.
Lock it in. Lock it down.
If I wanted to do and instructional video I've got b-roll going.
Probably put that on a tripod itself, but I've got that at the moment.
If I had wanted to put a light here or something,
it's super dark I could put this on here... something like that. haha
Yeah, it works!
The Ulanzi Fast Claw Clip worked out well in that photo outing.
No issues, easy to go from a backpack to a standard tripod with the U-100 and maybe some
vlogging stuff as well, so a good combination of features with the quick release system.
I thing that's the main thing.
Being able to quickly go from different types of photography.. videography.. work
I like it. No issues that I noticed in this first outing.
But anyways, how you enjoyed the video.
Again, consider that Ulanzi sent me all this stuff
to make the video and try it out. So keep that in mind.
Anyways, I'm Scott of Photography Banzai.
Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks!
