Can you please suggest a mini tripod for my Fuji XH1 or XT2?

I have seen the Manfrotto Pixi Smartand seems nice, but is it any good?

Thx

I picked up the Pixi Smart earlier this year and have used it quite a lot.

I've done >10 second exposures at ground level on shingle beaches and on forest floors and it has been fantastic considering the price point. It's rock solid and the single button release for the incorporated ball head is a work of genius! Unbelievably, it can hold the XH1 and battery grip with the 100 - 400 mounted without budging a mm. It's also great for tabletop photography and timelapses.









One use which I'd never considered before getting it is that folded, it becomes like a mini monopod and can be held firmly in the left hand.

I had considered the gorillapod around the same time, but I'm glad I went for the Manfrotto.

I heartily recommend it.

Regards,

Joe.

This one is larger but might still qualify as a mini. I'm happy with mine.

I can't sing enough praise for the platypod. I use mine all the time.

Leica makes a neat little table top tripod that folds down to a very small footprint. Extremely solid set up with small bullhead attached.

I am using the Sirui 3T-35K. Very compact, extends to 13.4" and it's well made!

Buddiesman MT-02 aluminum mini tripod is another good choice.

The best IMO


the most sturdy and versatile

Joby makes a Micro Hybrid foldable tripod that weighs next to nothing and takes up very little space in the camera bag.

It easily holds my X-T2 with a smaller lens, like any of the fujicrons.

It’s a great tripod for hiking.
