I got a Veledge branded version of the MT-01. I have seen it sold under several names, such as Moman, Veledge, Manbily, and Marsace, but all called MT-01. The Godox MT-01 seems to be a different tripod.
It's small, sturdy, and versatile. Easy to strap on to other objects due to the "vented" legs. I have a length of velcro wrapped around one leg and a strip of gaffer tape around another for this use.
The ball head often listed with it (on e.g. Ebay) is big, heavy, and not very good. I found myself a small ballhead for it, also Veledge branded, I think the model name in LC-28. Not super smooth but seems sturdy enough. And small enough so the tripod maintains its portability.
Edit: Added some images of the tripod & ballhead.
Legs folded out to the first stop.
Legs folded out max.
The Veledge head (not the one often sold with the tripod).

I recently used this to support my K 3/K 3 II plus my D FA 150-450mm Zoom on top of a bean bag cushion positioned on the top of a pop up roof of a safari vehicle
it spread the weight nicely and the tripod head allowed movement of the camera and lens
very nice piece of equipment and very nicely priced

Picked it up a year ago, just before going on an Alaskan Inland Passage cruise. I wanted something to use on railings. It worked wonderfully. I did take a rubber mouse pad to wrap around the railing so as to isolate the tripod from the ship's hull vibrations.
I used it with both my Acratech GP and leveling base as heads. Worked perfectly first time, last time, every time.
It's small, stores anywhere, excellent build construction and materials. You are only limited by your imagination.
