About this product
The MT-85 is a selfie stick that opens into a tripod and holds the phone by magnet instead of a spring clamp. That is the whole appeal: no jaws to align, no case edges to fight, and a phone you can lift off in one hand. It only works as advertised if your phone has MagSafe magnets built in or you use a magnetic case; a plain thick case will slide. The automatic leg mechanism is the other thing to judge — it is convenient, but it is also the part that wears out first.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Magnetic mount removes the clamp entirely, so a phone goes on and comes off in one motion.
- Opens from stick to tripod without hunting for a lock, which is what you want when shooting alone.
- Ulanzi keeps magnetic plates and adapters in stock for phones without built-in MagSafe.
Cons
- Magnet strength drops sharply with a non-magnetic or thick case — test it before you trust it above a hard floor.
- Automatic leg joints are the wear point: sand and grit in the hinge shorten the life of the mechanism.
