Manfrotto PIXI EVO Mini Tripod for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras

Compact support for DSLR and mirrorless cameras—without the bulk of a full-size tripod.

The Manfrotto PIXI EVO (MTPIXIEVO-BK) is a compact aluminum mini tripod for DSLR and mirrorless cameras weighing up to 5.5 lbs. Its adjustable two-section legs, two leg-angle settings, and integrated ball head make it a practical choice for tabletop photography, low-angle shooting, travel, video, and content creation. Folded, it measures about 8.1 inches for easy carrying.

Why We Chose This

• Supports camera setups up to 5.5 lbs while remaining compact enough for travel and tabletop use

• Two-section, 5-step adjustable legs and two leg-angle settings provide more positioning flexibility than a fixed-height mini tripod

• The integrated ball head makes it easy to switch between landscape and portrait orientation

• At about 9.4 oz and 8.1 inches folded, it is easy to carry without giving up a sturdy aluminum construction

Why it works

• Tabletop and product photography: compact footprint provides stable support without taking over the workspace

• Low-angle shooting: two leg-angle settings and adjustable leg extensions help position the camera close to the surface

• Travel and everyday carry: weighs about 9.4 oz and folds to roughly 8.1 in

• Portrait or landscape framing: integrated ball head includes 90° portrait tilt and 360° rotation

• DSLR and mirrorless setups: supports compatible camera/lens combinations weighing up to 5.5 lbs
