Ok it's not the best quality but tbh you're not using it correctly either. If you don't extend the legs while using it as a stick, it's pretty stable. And as the user manual on the back of the packaging tells us, if you use it as a table tripod with a camera with a heavy lens like you just showed, you should extend the legs, put the tripod in the lower position, and angle the camera in line with one of the legs. It's simple physics, that position gives a lot more stability, and then it works just fine. You can't expect a small lightweight tripod like this one to behave like a heavier sturdy one if you're not willing to do a couple of simple adjustments.
About the camera moving and not the table... Some buildings, the way they are constructed allows for minor shakes throughout the structure. You won't feel it or be able to see it but your camera will if its on a flimsy tripod like that one you had. Actually, placing a class of water on a table you will notice the water moving very slightly, so it happens. Thanks for your video, convinced me in not getting one of those.
It depends on what works for you. You can’t have light and portable and expect it to hold up against a full size DSLR with a huge lens. It’s works well with my APS-C camera and I love it. Thanks for the review though.
3:04 you are incorrect. Your walking, did indeed cause the the table to move, which in turn vibrated the camera which was likely heavy. If it was in china, the floors are prolly very poorly built. Especially if you tried to budget and stay in a crappy hotel.
I really appreciate and like your honest review. I ordered one in India and facing the same issues. Don't have an option to return. This tripod is stable only with the legs fully stretched. And we don't get confidence to hold a heavy camera. Spec wise it's good but practically it's like an expensive toy.
Looks like this would work better for a smaller camera - like G7x maybe even M50. Your camera seemed like it was too large for the tripod 😭 lol it was trying it’s best
The old Pixi is sturdy as metal and cheaper. I was looking forward to upgrading it to the pixi evo, but after seeing how flimsy it is, i think i'll stay with my regular pixi.
Hi! That's why I did the review; everyone else was talking only good things about it. The second tripod is a cheap chinese one (Neewer brand, I think) It's not a good tripod either but it's solid and dirt cheap.
Hi! Well, the Pixi evo was marketed as a table tripod and as a grip for handheld video/vlog. So that's what I used it for. The thing about the table, maybe I did not explain it well, I just wanted to say it's very wobbly.
I'm using a Gorillapod + Manfrotto head for travel, but it's way more expensive and can't be used as a proper table tripod. So no, I haven't found a good alternative for a reasonable price.

Thanks for this video. I already bought the Manfrotto and it's on it's way here. I should have watched your video first. Please, don't apologize for your accent. English isn't your first language, so it's forgivable.
Seems like the issue here is more about the price. At which point I'd say why would you pay so much for something that looks so flimsy even with the name manfrotto. Seems to be way overpriced $45 too much maybe $20
You can’t speak only about negative things if you don’t going to speak about positive things, maybe it the product don’t work for you that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work for me, I tested and work perfect for photography ✌🏻
If anything didn't wobble or move except the camera alone, then, this must mean that there were some ancient Manfrottian spirits flying around the room which felt your presence and hostile attitude towards manufacturer and they started to miracleously move your camera, and it just looked to you like it moved all by itself, how spooky is that ;-) :-)
Hi thanks for the review, however I disagree, first and for most, you want a quick release invest on it, you can find some for 9 buck on e-bay, second the legs may be a little robust but for sure they make an outstanding job to hold the camera ( panasonic g7) they don't feel super bulky and they give me security when i hold the tripod, third the wheel may be loose but i think that reason why they do that is so it's easy to pull it out of the tripod. I made a video talking about why this tripod is the absolute gorilla pod killer, you should compare apples to apples, you can't compare it with the other big ass tripod because clearly that one can't work for vlogging, if vlogging is what you do, i have to disagree with you on this one, but i appreciate your opinion. come watch my video so you can see why this tripod is king.
thank you for stopping me place my order of the manfrotto pixi evo. didnt realize it was a toy. it looks like manfrotto quality is getting worse and worse.
That's what I did! I sold It. Now I'm using a Gorillapod + Manfrotto head for travel, but it's way more expensive and can't be used as a proper table tripod. So I'm still looking for a good replacement.

I"m actually kind of curious about what the OTHER tripod is..lol.
SAMEEE BUT NO ONE IS GIVING THE NAMEE
This one's a really good one: ruclips.net/video/3aQUb5h2-is/видео.html
Dude, when you move the table, you move everything on it. It's physics.
About the camera moving and not the table... Some buildings, the way they are constructed allows for minor shakes throughout the structure.

can you tell us what Brand the other tripod is ????
It's a tripod, not a selfie stick.
What the name of the other tripod you could smash a window with?
It depends on what works for you. You can’t have light and portable and expect it to hold up against a full size DSLR with a huge lens. It’s works well with my APS-C camera and I love it. Thanks for the review though.
What is the brand of the other tripod please? Looks really good and would be interested in that one !....
3:04 you are incorrect.
Your walking, did indeed cause the the table to move, which in turn vibrated the camera which was likely heavy.
If it was in china, the floors are prolly very poorly built. Especially if you tried to budget and stay in a crappy hotel.
Whats the name of second tripod?
i love your honest review! it really doesnt look like it can hold the weight it claims !

Thanks for the info, its great to see a video with real opinions and actually using the product.
30 x 5 is 45???
Thank you for taking the time for this review. You helped me decide for both the Pixi original and the Neewer brand one that is a bit bigger.
Dude your attaching big accessories and cameras 📸 . It is not design for big DSLR and long lens.
It is actually, he's just using it wrong
glad to saw your video before I shoped. From which company is the ohter tripod ( brand, name , source )
Please tell us
Looks like this would work better for a smaller camera - like G7x maybe even M50. Your camera seemed like it was too large for the tripod 😭 lol it was trying it’s best
What is your alternative suggestion?
Where is your other tripod from?
The old Pixi is sturdy as metal and cheaper. I was looking forward to upgrading it to the pixi evo, but after seeing how flimsy it is, i think i'll stay with my regular pixi.
Hi, thanks for the review. Most reviews of Manfrotto Pixi Evo on RUclips are positive or neutral. What was the second tripod?
Hi! That's why I did the review; everyone else was talking only good things about it. The second tripod is a cheap chinese one (Neewer brand, I think) It's not a good tripod either but it's solid and dirt cheap.
@@kromamedia9963 What is it called? Where can I buy it?
i think it's a Smallrig
Anybody knows what is the other tripod, please?
I mean, that camera is pretty big..😕
Thanks... Saved me from wasting time and money on this! I'll stick with the switchpod...
Which is the other one that you bought
What a good review ! i was going to buy it because they are a big brand and they suppose to have good quality but you made me think again.
Have you tried the original Manfrotto Pixi? I have heard it's much better.
Sounds that you just needed to buy a completely different product :-) Btw. The table did not move, but the tripod moved???
Gos wo the tripod could have moved due to the shutter
Hi! Well, the Pixi evo was marketed as a table tripod and as a grip for handheld video/vlog. So that's what I used it for. The thing about the table, maybe I did not explain it well, I just wanted to say it's very wobbly.
Interesting and very honest review. I have a quick question; what make and model was the more sturdy tripod that you showed us? Thanks.
I don't know about the tripod but I own the head which is a Neewer ball head rebranded to SMALLRIG Tripod Ball Head Max Load 2kg - BUT2665
Thanks for making this video. Have you come across any better alternatives in the meantime?
I'm using a Gorillapod + Manfrotto head for travel, but it's way more expensive and can't be used as a proper table tripod. So no, I haven't found a good alternative for a reasonable price.

Great review and glad you kept it real to the fact that this "tripod" is more "show than performance". Appreciate it.
Thanks!
its a table pod... what should it be??
The smaller Pixi with a sqare jellyfish mount is good for a phone.
Left tripod name?? Btw it's called accent not pronunciation
Hi, what is the name and type of another stand, thanks
it's a tripod not a stick
Thanks for the review. I was about to buy one but it's coming out of the shopping cart now.
thank you. I bought the tripod because it was very light. Practical. does his duty
Using a table tripod as a vlog stick? As for the rest, very interesting infos.
I watched the video , and decided to purchase the Neewer 50cm Portable Compact Desktop Mini Tripod ( which has a quick release head ) instead
The table had to be moving, if not, you’ve broken the rules of physics.
You shuld try (and rewiew) the non evo pixi. Faster and smaller but has some downsides. Btw love this video.
Thanks for this video. I already bought the Manfrotto and it's on it's way here. I should have watched your video first. Please, don't apologize for your accent. English isn't your first language, so it's forgivable.
so how was the pixi evo?
This video has the production quality of a 50K subs channel, genuinely shocked you've only got 26.
Thank you for this honest review!
Hampir aja gue beli ini ttipod😌 thankyou for the honest review
thanks for your great review (that speaks for itself).
Seems like the issue here is more about the price. At which point I'd say why would you pay so much for something that looks so flimsy even with the name manfrotto. Seems to be way overpriced $45 too much maybe $20
your camera its way to heavy
Great review, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
You can’t speak only about negative things if you don’t going to speak about positive things, maybe it the product don’t work for you that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work for me, I tested and work perfect for photography ✌🏻
Bro, thanks for the honesty. I was about to buy the evo but I changed my mind. I would go for that more stable one.
Thanks, bro. You saved me some money.

is it good for g7?
Thank you.
Almost to the end of the video I thought he had a backpack!!!! . Good video
Dude, take a look at the Sirui tripods, you might find something that works out better for you.
I will not likely be buying one. Well done review.
thank you for stopping me place my order of the manfrotto pixi evo. didnt realize it was a toy. it looks like manfrotto quality is getting worse and worse.
So true!!!
lol he is angry
Good video
Great review, saved me some money, cheers .
because someone uses the tripod wrong? and complains missing features, that are not advertissed
I had one for 10 minutes. It was so terrible that I sent it back. Piece of plastic junk.
sorry mate u say rubish in my opinion
im glad you showed me this. that is just terrible quality from that brand. ridiculously over priced
Наитупейший обзор. Пластик ему не нравится, и тряска. Ну сделай себе штатив из чугуна и перестань прыгать вокруг стола
My $5 china-made aluminium mini tripod has better quality and stability!!!
Haha then buy/use another tripod. Easy ! #TriggeredGuy
That's what I did! I sold It. Now I'm using a Gorillapod + Manfrotto head for travel, but it's way more expensive and can't be used as a proper table tripod. So I'm still looking for a good replacement.
Just dumb.
First thumb down... Buying a tripod without QR... complaining, it has no QR.... no words
I think mini pixi more better than evo...
