Manfrotto Pixi Tripod

I have been using this mini tripod now for a couple months, it retails from £15 to £18 which I think is entirely reasonable. The first thing I like is the build quality, the body is very solid feeling yet still quite light. The ball head is controlled by a button which has a firm press and a good amount of travel to engage, it also locks nice and firmly when not pressed.

I tend to use this with a holder for my phone, though i have also used it with a couple compact digital cameras and a Panasonic G5.... I probably wouldn't use it with a large and heavy DSLR however. 

I find the Pixi great in use and it slips into my messanger bag quite nicely, the really great thing about the Pixi is that it double's as a pretty good handle for taking slightly more stable video. It won't replace a product specifiacally designed to steady video footage but it is great in a lightweight setup.
