Overview

The Manfrotto PIXI EVO is a mini tripod designed for photographers who want more than a basic tabletop stand without carrying a full-size tripod. Its two-section legs distinguish it from simpler mini tripods — each leg adjusts independently to one of five angle positions, allowing you to fine-tune the setup on uneven surfaces, adapt to different shooting heights between 2.36 and 7.68 inches, or splay the legs wide for a low-profile stance. At 0.59 lbs with a closed length of 9.06 inches, it travels easily in a bag pocket or clipped to a strap.

The integrated ball head provides a front tilt range of -35° to +35° and a lateral tilt of -90° to +40°, covering everything from standard framing to full portrait orientation. With a safety payload of 5.51 lbs, the PIXI EVO comfortably supports compact mirrorless cameras, point-and-shoots, and smartphones with an adapter. The aluminum construction keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity under load, and the push-button release mechanism allows quick repositioning of the ball head during a shoot.
