Manfrotto Pixi Evo 2 I The perfect travel tripod?

Tripods are big cumbersome things but also a necessary evil at times. If you want a good travel tripod you need a GorillaPod right? Not so, enter the Manfrotto PIXI EVO 2 tripod. This is the big brother to the Manfrotto Pixi Min. Is this little travel-sized tripod good enough to get the job done? You will have to watch to find out.

I really appreciate watching the different positions in how this tripod can be used. High, low or flat, extended, with the center of gravity on top and to the side.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Happy that you found that part helpful.

[@luigify]

I actually bought this tripod - the screwing mechanism screwed me - the mechanism parts are dependent on each other - it can really easily fall apart and youll lose the small metal thingy that holds it all in place - other than that is a great tripod - but that is like the most important thing so idk

[@avajeon2023]

Thank you for the review. Since I have small hands and I'm just a novice vloger using a iphone mini, I will settle for the original mini. :)

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

You are not settling, you are just using the right tool for the job.

Useful video. I've been considering one of these for use with my Osmo Action 3 on a pole, as it extends to 1.5m and I want something with a wider spread.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Osmo Action should not be an issue at all for this.

[@Iggy_Garcia]

I just order it to use it just like you with the Osmo Pocket 3. 👍 That way you can have a much compact tripod to carry on outdoors.

[@neilbundle5112]

Thanks a lot. I just bought one and found the only main criticism is that the handle mechanisms all rattle annoyingly when not actually sitting mounted on the ground.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Agree, but for the most part it is only a small issue with this other wise nice little tripod.

[@bubbicus]

Isn't pushing on the button while the other hand makes adjustments a two-handed operation? So how is that different from tightening/untightening the knob with one hand while the other hand makes adjustments? Either tripod requires 2 hands to make adjustments.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

With larger cameras yes. Some smaller cameras can be done with one hand.

Hey, does the ball joint move 180 degrees or 360 degrees? I'm wondering if by attaching a smartphone clamp to Evo, would it be possible to shoot overhead videos? (for shooting pottery/ cooking etc)

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

More 180. Could be used for over head filming.

[@Ridgerian]

Thank you for the review, do you think it can handle sony a7iii with zeiss 35mm f1.4 lens?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

The body itself should not be an issue. the lens might make some positions a little front heavy.

Hi! Will this hold the SL3 with a Sigma 24-105? It is big.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

I am not sure it would. I felt like I was pressing my luck with my telephoto lense, which is lighter and shorter then the Gigma 24-105.

[@davebinks]

The maker says it will hold a total weight of 2500g, of which the body is up to 750g. So weigh your camera and see.

[@RoGameReview]

This should hold my m50 just fine

[@gyrdin]

Original Pixie vs this one feels like comparing Victorinox kitchen knife vs swiss knife: latter can do more, but compromises each task a bit.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

This is very true. But I know myself I was going back and forth when I first got the Pixie and its larger cusine. So that wi why I did a little comparing.

[@hardlyunique]

I hate how flat it lays - it takes up too much space. I would prefer to lock in the leg height much more veridically.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

I could see that.

[@BlueHawk80]

Lumix S5 (720g) + Sigma 24-70 (830g) should work, right? With the legs NOT extended or at flat angle. Love the Evo's design and features for that price, really intriguing!

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Based on math and size it should. But I do not have access to them to test out myself.
