AliexpressThe Ulanzi OMBRA XIANG is the original XIANG video tripod, identified by the manufacturer as model SKU 3030. This selected variant is the complete tripod with video head, not the XIANG II T154 and not the YING photographic ball-head version. Its aluminum-alloy legs, adjustable leg angles, detachable panorama head and handle, and 360-degree pan are intended for deliberate camera positioning and video framing.
Height and handling
The tripod reaches 160 cm with the center column raised and 131 cm with the column down. It folds to 55 cm and is listed at 1.3 kg, making the folded dimensions relevant when comparing it with other travel tripods. The center column can also be inverted for low-angle or inverted setups. Secure the column before using this position and check the camera’s balance before leaving the equipment unattended.
Video head features
The detachable head includes a pan handle and supports 360-degree panning. These features help with controlled repositioning, but this product is not an electronic stabilizer, gimbal, or motorized tracking head. No measured drag or smoothness result is claimed here. The selected item is shown with a quick-release plate. Compatibility with other plate systems should be checked rather than assumed.

Before buying
- Confirm that your camera, lens, monitor, or other setup fits the selected quick-release plate and camera screw.
- Compare the actual combined camera and lens mass with the manufacturer-stated 6 kg maximum; this is not a PMCODE stability test and does not guarantee every long-lens setup.
- Check balance, leg locks, center-column security, and head controls with your intended equipment.
- Do not assume Arca, F38, or Uka interchangeability without a direct fit check.
- Confirm the seller’s package contents. The standard selected item is described as the tripod, head, and quick-release plate; a phone clamp, storage bag, or other small accessory should not be presumed included.
