None of the several small/tabletop tripods I had previously used could hold the M + 55-250mm steady. They all offered mushy positioning and they all slipped after positioning the camera. Come on, this camera is not that heavy! Enter the champ:
Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod - Holds the M + 55-250 beautifully. Quick, precise positioning, no slippage whatsoever. Push the button, point the camera where you want it, release the button, and it is done. NO SLIPPAGE!!
Considering it is Manfrotto, it must be expensive - not so - ~$25 on Amazon, not much more than all the others that don't work. I also saw it in a store, same price. Folded it forms a grip.
