UltraPod Travel Tripod
Free Shipping: 30-day returns
The sturdy UltraPod is a compact, travel-ready aluminum tripod built for creators on the move.
It compresses down to just 16 inches, fits easily in a backpack or carry-on, and extends to nearly 7 feet tall—giving you full-height shots, wide angles, and flexibility wherever you’re creating. Supports up to 6 lbs. For specialized shots requiring vertical tilt or advanced angles, we recommend the UltraLite Professional Tripod.

Patent Details
The UltraLite’s signature U-shape is protected under U.S. Design Patent D1,061,688. Any unauthorized manufacturing or sale of products using this patented design is prohibited.
The utility patent is in patent pending status. More info here.
Who's It For?
- Creators who want pro lighting without the bulky gear: TikTokers, YouTubers, MUAs and Beauty, Food Influencers, and vidoegraphers, filmmakers, photographers.
- Anyone who wants an easy, portable lighting upgrade
Who Is The UltraLite NOT For?
The UltraLite is a creator light - built for portability, tight spaces, and fast shoots, not for 4-hour sessions.
UltraLite battery works on top brightness for 1 hour, at 50% 2 hours etc.
The UltraLite can run while charging, and because it’s so lightweight and efficient, it never gets hot. It’s built for 2–3 hours of real-world use, not for long, continuous sessions.
A future UltraLite will be built for all-day sessions. This one is optimized for portability and quick creator workflows.

Invented By A Creator, For Creators
Hi, I'm Justin McClure, and I created the UltraLite out of necessity. I needed a portable light that worked with a phone or camera, but nothing like it existed, so I invented it.
With over 9 million YouTube subs and 5 billion views, my family has been delivering the best in family entertainment since 2017. Read more about our journey here.
I’m confident the UltraLite + UltraPod Creator Kit will give you exactly what you need to create great content. My family alone shot over 500 videos using just the prototype.

UltraLite vs Other Lights
Ring Lights:
❌ Awkward to use with cameras
❌ Not portable or adjustable
❌ Bulky and outdated
Camera Lights:
❌ No microphone at the same time
❌ Harsh, one-directional light
❌ Doesn’t work with your phone
💚 UltraLite is the only light that solves all of this.
Create Anywhere On Any Device
UltraPod
A compact tripod that packs small and extends tall for shooting content anywhere.
UltraLite
Powerful, portable creator light that delivers bright, flattering light on any camera, phone, or tripod (accessories not included)
Travel Case
A protective, grab-and-go case that keeps your UltraLite safe and secure.
BEFORE | AFTER
Your face isn’t a circle, so why use a ring light? The U-shape wraps your features in even, natural light that actually flatters you.
Lighting That Travels
Weighing just 1.5 pounds, the UltraLite is easy to hold, turn, and shoot in normal or selfie mode without fatigue. Its battery runs up to an hour at full brightness—and even longer when dialed down—while staying cool to the touch thanks to its no-heat design.
