This is the Manfrotto Pixi Evo mini tripod.
It weighs 260 grams and the maximum payload that it can support is 2.5 kilograms.
It has a fixed 1/4" 20 screw.
So that's something that can't be changed.
It is made out of aluminium and techno polymer.
The minimum height for the tripod is 10.5 centimeters and the maximum height for the
tripod is 20 centimeters which is almost the same as the height of the tripod when it's
closed - at 20.5 centimeters.
I found the build to be average.
There isn't anything outstanding about the tripod and everything feels quite plasticky
and rattles a bit.
The screws don't feel solid.
So when you screw them on, you feel like you need to keep screwing, and still things move
around a little bit!
When you do put a camera on it you have to extend the legs all the way because there
is no center part that would keep the legs together.
So you have three settings which you can extend the legs out, but then once you've done that
you need to push all the three legs down all the way so that it stays stable.
So if you have something on top of the tripod which isn't that heavy, maybe a mobile phone
and a small stand.
That will actually make the legs extend out, just by the weight itself.
In certain scenarios the same setup which isn't that heavy would fall over to the side
if it's not angled properly.
The tripod is useful if you just want to mount a webcam on it or you have a really simple
setup but I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy SLR camera or anything where you need to adjust
tightly.
So even though it says that the maximum weight it can support is 2.5 kilograms, I would be
really careful with putting that amount of weight on top of it because it's not that
stable.
If you do want the ball-head to go to a 90 degree angle, it only does that on one direction.
In the other directions it only goes to about, maybe 35 or 40 degrees.
So here you can see, I'm putting a mobile phone on top of it and the Ulanzi ST-14 stand
or phone clamp.
You can see that it falls over because I haven't extended the legs all the way.
So there's no real nice way of keeping the height of the tripod quite tall.
and if you don't extend the legs all the way but you have a little bit of weight on top
of it, the legs will gradually extend themselves.
So if you need to get height out of your tripod
this isn't the best tripod to use!
It has a button on the side which lets you choose whether you want to move the tripod
even lower down and by the time you done that and push it down all the way, you get about
maybe three centimeters or so away from the surface.
Apart from the inner part of the legs of the tripod everything else feels quite plasticky
and rattles.
So the plastic part on the aluminium legs, they make a bit of noise and the ball head
as well, that's quite plasticky.
It's not solid metal.
[rattling noise]
I wouldn't recommend purchasing this tripod unless you wanted to use it for anything apart
from just maybe mounting a webcam or something small.
