It can hold the weight, and I’ve used a150-600 sigma on it, but honestly I would get a heavy duty tripod for that. These things are so light and travel friendly, I would want something heavier and larger for a big lens like that.

I'm buying that ball head quick release asap for my zero y. I love that tripod but have never felt totally comfortable simply screwing the plate in. Also noticed when I use my peak design plates on my ulanzi that arca screw randomly just comes loose and ive had some scares with my camera falling off.

The arca mount is compatible with arca plates and a variety of other arca-compatible plates. The F38 mount is only compatible with F38 plates. Companies want you adopting their ecosystem so you get locked into it and keep buying more of it. If you just stay on arca, you can use anything arca. There are plenty of arca quick-release mounts now, which is fun! But not many are integrated into full heads and tripods for max size and weight efficiency, so you'd need to plop your arca quick-release mount on top of another mounting system.

I would think if you’re really getting a big lens and camera body, the travel tripods probably aren’t the best idea. peak design says it can “support” a ton of weight, but the reality of these travel tripods is that they’re legs don’t really spread very wide when fully extended. so long lenses may make it easier to tip over the tripod. I think you’d actually fine with the setup, but I’d probably want to get a heavier wider tripod (although it’s less convenient)

It can hold 40 pounds so I think you’ll be safe! Edit because I’m dumb: the F38 ballhead can hold 3kg which is around 6.5 pounds. The Zero Y ballhead can hold 5kg which is a little over 11 pounds. I would go for the Zero Y with the arca swiss plate if you’re using an A7IV as the F38 will struggle with that kind of weight. Overall, the whole tripod is capable of holding 40 pounds or 18kg.

I don't agree with their ways of doing things imo. I purchased this tripod about 1.5 weeks before they launched the upgraded version. While I don't have anything from the F38 system, it seems a bit absurd to me that they wouldn't ship out the upgrade to early adopters. It's like... the tripod is so new to the market and they're already making iterations of the product. Initially I was a bit disappointed but after looking into the F38 system, I don't think I'll be switching over from PD capture clip so I remain decently content. It's still a perfectly good travel tripod. When I emailed the rep at Ulanzi about the new F38 additions to the tripod, they said I got my discount already for the original tripod. I'm not sure they understood my sentiment. Basically they were implying that with the discount I received, I could be purchasing the F38 additions as an add-on. Here's where I find it absurd. What if I didn't find your video? I wouldn't have known about the 20% discount. I don't see how they can justify a discount on a separate transaction as reason for me to be forking out more just for upgrades that should or could have been included as part of the original design.... especially how with the new ballhead, you can remove the ballhead portion to reveal a flat base center column that can be used to mount other items. That being said, there's only 1 flaw with this original tripod. You can't shoot overhead shots (i.e. food photography flat image) unless you go into undersling mode... or you purchase an extension arm that mounts to the top of the tripod head; by this point, it wouldn't really fit the idea of it being a travel tripod.

I think the original Zero Y is more versatile because you can add any arca swiss plate and you can even add an f38 plate (without buying the separate head) to make it quick release if you want. with the F38 tripod, you can only use an F38 plate. I don’t consider the f38 and upgrade - just another option for people who want quick release

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for your insight! I didn't actually think you'd see this until I finished watching your video hahaha. That actually makes me happy. I wonder if I can find a peak design quick release equivalent for the Zero Y....

anyone else having trouble purchasing this online for the US?

The Zero Y is not available for the US and Canada right now - they say it will be in stock soon. The F38 should be available though

Thanks for thinking of me!! I use this thing every day. I love it.

I don’t like Ulanzi’s customer support. I have invested in F38 system. Three, four weeks ago I asked if there would be a Zero Y like tripod which I could use with my F38 system and what I got back was a link to buy Ombra. In the meantime, I learned they would release this one. Of course, 20% off is not there anymore…. I wrote them about it and they wanted to give me some LED (which I don’t need) and 10%. This was fine, but it was not 20%. They should have straightened this out.

Sorry to hear that - they have provided netter service to you in my opinion.

Buy the Sirui ST-124 (or ST-125) instead. It's cheaper and sturdier! 😛

Peak Design will sue the heck out of them.

They’re quite different designs. Compact form factor is all they really share. And this tripod has been out for 2 years. No suing attempts.

I don't know why but you remind me of the young Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can :-P Great presentation! I am on the edge with the zero y. I finally want to get rid of any excuses for not taking a tripod with me as with my old big and heavy Manfrotto...
