Tabletop & Mini Tripods

The Manfrotto PIXI range is about as simple as camera support gets. The PIXI EVO is the most versatile of the four, with two adjustable leg sections that extend from a low flat angle up to a proper tabletop height, and it holds up to 5.5 lbs so it works with a small mirrorless or compact camera, not just a phone. The PIXI Xtreme swaps the adjustable legs for a fixed push-button grip design that doubles as a handheld stabilizer, and it ships with a GoPro mount adapter in the box.

For smartphone shooters, the mini tripod with universal clamp is the obvious pick, with a 1/4 inch thread that also accepts standard camera accessories if needed. All four fold down small enough to slip into a jacket pocket, and prices run from AED 121 to AED 169, making this one of the more affordable categories on the site.
