I've had and used the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod, shown on the right in my pic, for years with my Olympus EM-II. Perfect size to throw in my camera bag or even carry in my pocket, very solid and stable enough for a mirrorless. Then I got a new Pixel 6 Pro, and this was the first phone camera I took serious enough to consider using with a tripod, and this was when I also realized the PIXI Mini didn't allow you to put the phone into portrait mode for shooting.I picked up the Joby Handypod instead, and realized not only does it allow you to take portrait photos/videos (there's a little notch that allows the phone to lower all the way to 90deg), the legs feel quite a bit grippier than the Manfrotto, which always felt a little slick to grab onto, or place on less than perfect surfaces. Both tripods have solid builds, will serve in a pinch as a selfie-stick (again, no portrait for the Manfrotto!), and I have a lot of other Manfrotto equipment, including the actual Smartphone Clamp to go with this Joby, but the Joby did a better job with their mini-tripod.One note, the Pixel 6 Pro is a huge phone, and it's just barely stable in portrait mode as shown in the picture. Anything much heavier (do they even exist?) may just tip over the tripod, and even with my current setup, I will need to take care setting up on uneven ground.

Well designed with ball-head. Good quality yet also lightweight.

Oops! That's right, this is for the little tripod and not my underwear.....Good quality build, easy to use, and it works. Nice design.When the legs are folded, they present a nicely rounded handle with textured rubber for a good grip.Push-button adjustment is slick and fast.If you need something like this, you'll likely be pleased with it for the price.

Compact, ergonomics are good for taking on trail runs. Easy to connect the phone to. It won’t always hold an iPhone 7+ in portrait orientation as the phone is too heavy at some angles, but it works most of the time. Good price!

Pretty sturdy. It holds phone steady in both orientations.Of course you cannot stand on it, but it holds a phone good, which it what it's designed to do.Clips are spring loaded, so consider that. I wouldn't use it to run with.For the $$ it's a good value.

I own three of these and they are sturdy and of substantial quality. When you adjust the ball mount, it stays and will not slip. Easy to fit in your hand for a good grip.

I bought this little guy to take to Iceland, soI didn’t have a huge tripod. It did everything I asked it, and more. It’s not rated for this weight, but it excelled at even supporting my D800 & 70-200 f/2.8 for long exposures! If your camera is a little front heavy, just rotate the ball joint so one of the legs is underneath the lens, and this will stop it from tipping.I am so glad I bought this. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a tripod in this size.

Excellenmt quality as Joby usually is, and can be used as a selfie stick

Tripé de excelente qualidade! A facilidade de utilização é impressionante, permitindo uma montagem rápida e sem complicações. Além disso, pode ser usado como punho para a máquina fotográfica, o que é extremamente prático para gravações e fotografias em movimento. Recomendo vivamente para quem procura um tripé versátil e eficiente!

Litet, men perfekt om du bara vill ha ett minimum med dig och behöver ett stöd för lite längre slutartider.

This looks like any other tripod but is much better than others I've used.It's very easy to adjust the position of the camera (just press and hold the button, move the camera and then release the button). This small change (previously I've used systems where you have to screw something to make it tighter) is easier to use, quicker to find the right position and more reliably stays in place (sometimes a screw version may not be tight enough).It's very comfortable to hold. The legs have been designed in a way that makes it comfortable to grip.After using it for months, it seems qood quality and I wish I'd bought it sooner!

Under this price range it is best for the portrait mode...and easily carry weight of dslr with small kit lens . Or 35/50.00mm prime lens
