Grab a Manfrotto US Pixi

gear Feb 14, 2023

Quick adjustable tripods that double as selfie sticks are a cheap and effective way to make more content.

Just having a set place for my camera with a tripod waiting, really keeps me focused on the content, instead of the setup!

 

"โ€ŠGonna be all about gear and the first three days are gonna be small tripods. This is a Manfrotto pixie. It's a small, little tiny tripod, and it has a ball joint on top. It's what I usually have my phone attached to. I also have a super cheap knockoff version of this from Walmart. And just don't do it.

That's a terrible, terrible purchase. Don't do it. This thing makes a great little selfie stick and it just folds out fast, so you can set it on a table and you're in business with no hands. One attachment I really recommend is an ARCA Swiss Mount. This makes it really, really simple to attach and detach your camera without spending too much time, twisting things together.

All right, that's it. So the man Frodo Pixie is dope. Tomorrow we're gonna talk about the Switch pod."

The Manfrotto Pixie certainly sounds like a useful tool for content creators who need a portable and versatile solution. Its fast folding mechanism and added utility as a selfie stick enhance its value. The suggestion of an ARCA Swiss Mount for easy attachment and detachment is also helpful. It's a good reminder that the quality of the gear can significantly impact the user experience, as evidenced by the Walmart knockoff version you mentioned. I look forward to hearing about the Switch Pod in your next update!
