Review: Made In Italy, Works Everywhere Else Too - I have a simple test for camera gear: does it solve the problem, or does it create new ones? Too much kit falls into the second category. The Manfrotto PIXI falls firmly into the first. What I needed was a tripod small enough to disappear into travel luggage, sturdy enough to handle a mirrorless camera without drama, and useful as a handgrip when shooting video on my phone. Three requirements. All met. We're done here. Except we're not, because the build quality deserves a mention. As soon as you take it out of the box it feels like quality β€” which sounds obvious for Manfrotto but isn't guaranteed at this price point. The push-button ball head is smooth, locks firmly, and critically doesn't flop about when you've got something heavier mounted on it. The rubber feet grip surfaces properly. The legs fold together into a genuinely comfortable handgrip. It's compact enough to slip into a coat pocket and solid enough that you don't spend your time worrying about your camera toppling onto a restaurant table in Sorrento. Hypothetically. One genuine caveat worth knowing: if you're planning to use it with a long heavy lens, think again. It's a mini tripod, not a miracle. Keep it sensible and it's rock solid. Push it beyond its limits and physics wins. You'll need a separate phone mount β€” the Manfrotto branded one is overpriced for what it is and a decent alternative on desertcart costs a fraction. Made in Italy. Does exactly what it says. Feels like it'll outlast most things in your camera bag. Stu's Rating: BUY β€” no caveats, no reluctance, just buy it. Reviewed by a man who has finally stopped improvising with a stack of restaurant menus. Review: Huge step up from cheap - I didn't want to spend a lot on a mini tripod. I own a cheap one. They work. But, they can be noisy in use when recording sound and the spread of their three legs can make them less stable in wind. Adjustment is usually crude - either too free or too stiff. A top heavy heavy item can become a menace to itself with a floppy adjustment mechanism. For table top use, my cheap one works and makes do. I wanted something better for portable use. As soon as I took the Manfrotto MTPIXIMII-B out of the packaging it felt like quality. It looks good and feels good in the hands. The push button mechanism to adjust the ball on which equipment is attached works very well. It is always under some friction to that it does not flop about. The spread of the legs is wide - about 7 1/2" leg to leg. This makes it very sturdy. At the bottom of each leg is a rubberised type of foot. These give the tripod a non-slip boost plus some anti-vibration benefits (good for sound recording). The material it is made from feels nice in the hand. All the lines and edges are devoid of roughness. When closed, the legs fold nicely together to created a nice tactile and secure handle. The legs aren't loose and can be brought closer together to raise the mount (by about 2") or to fit the tripod into a space with a smaller foot print. You lose contact with the rubberised feet, but the tripod still feels good - though depending on what is mounted, top heaviness will inevitably lead to instability so not advised in wind or if there is a risk of being knocked. There is a large round pad on the mounting screw which sits nicely against equipment and adds to security and stability. It doesn't attempt any gimmicks or additional features. It simply does its job well - very well. I expect it to last a long time. ## Features - VERSATILE: Close the legs to use it as a comfortable grip to capture videos that stand out from the crowd - DSLR COMPATIBLE: Thanks to the universal 1/4 Inch screw thread and stability, Pixi can be used with a variety of devices, including iPhones (with KLYP), compact cameras, CSC and entry level DSLRs - SAFE: When the button is released, the ball is locked automatically in the selected position - COMPACT: The ideal solution for photographers searching for a lightweight, portable and easy-to-use support system - FUN: Find new perspectives and new ways to capture your shots flawlessly, while being provided with a secure base for any shooting situation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09GKLCP95 | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 17 in Tabletop & Travel Tripods | | Box Contents | 1 x MTPIXIMII-B, PIXI Mini Tripod, Made in Italy | | Brand | Manfrotto | | Brand Name | Manfrotto | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Compatible devices | Camera | | Country of Origin | Italy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,491 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 Years | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | Folded size | 18.5γ‚»γƒ³γƒγƒ‘γƒΌγƒˆγƒ« | | Head Type | Ball Heads | | Item Length | 135 Millimetres | | Item Type Name | Mini Tripod | | Item Weight | 0.22 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.22 Kilograms | | Leg Diameter | 1.3 Inches | | Manufacturer | Manfrotto | | Manufacturer Part Number | MTPIXIMII-B | | Material | Aluminium | | Maximum Height | 135 Millimetres | | Maximum Shutter Speed | 30 seconds | | Maximum Weight Capacity | 2.2 Hundredths Pounds | | Media Type | ProductImage, EnhancedContent | | Minimum Height | 13.5 Centimetres | | Minimum Shutter Speed | 0.5 | | Model Name | Mini Table Tripod | | Model Number | MTPIXIMII-B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Lightweight | | Special feature | Lightweight | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Video Capture Format | MP4 | | Video Capture Resolution | 1920 x 1080 | | Viewfinder Type | LCD screen | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Manfrotto - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Camera - **Item weight:** 0.24 Kilograms - **Material:** Aluminium - **Maximum height:** 135 Millimetres - **Model name:** Mini Table Tripod - **Special feature:** Lightweight - **Tripod head type:** Ball Heads - **Weight limit:** 2.2 Hundredths Pounds ## Images ![Manfrotto PIXI, Mini Camera Tripod with Handgrip for Content Creation,Black | MTPIXIMII-B Compact Tabletop Tripod, Rotation 360Β° for DSLR, Mirrorless, Video, Made in Italy, Technopolymer and Aluminium - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TBsFsjexL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you use a PIXI?** A: Connect your camera or your device with the ΒΌ-20” thread.

I really didn't want to carry anything larger and this tabletop size tripod is every bit as good as you would expect from Manfrotto. The materials and construction are solid. The legs are a really strong plastic and the ball mechanism is metal. The rubber tip feet on the legs is also a nice touch for smooth surfaces. The legs have enough resistance to keep them steady in any position and the ball joint locking mechanism is simple to swivel into position but solid once locked. No wobble or shakes, brilliant for night photography and compact enough to slip into a coat pocket. Not that cheap but you get what you pay for. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manfrotto MTPIXIMII-B, PIXI Mini Tripod with Handgrip for Compact System Cameras, for DSLR, Mirrorless, Video, Made in Italy, Technopolymer and Aluminum, Black - Manfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp, Pro Version (MCPIXI), for Mini Camera Tripod, Table Tripod,Compact Tripod, Vlogging, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/375346389-manfrotto-pixi-mini-camera-tripod-with-handgrip-for-content-creation](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/375346389-manfrotto-pixi-mini-camera-tripod-with-handgrip-for-content-creation) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
