Size and Height

Featuring a fold-up, 5-section traveller design, the Element Small is capable of collapsing down to just 32cm, making it ideal for storage in a suitcase or backpack.

But don't let its compact size fool you, this tripod is capable of reaching a 143cm maximum height, a 36cm minimum working height, and can support up to 4kg while weighing just 1.15kg.

Design Features

With a focus on special features and ease of use, the Element Small series features a few special design features that make it a versatile accessory for any image maker.

First, the tripod utilises rubber-coated twist locks which help maintain an overall slim profile and allow for quick set-up and break down. Second, the Element features a two-section centre column for versatility when choosing a working height, especially when vibration is a concern.

Third, each leg features three independent leg positions engaged by a spring-loaded lock, allowing you to position each leg separately on uneven terrain. The Element Small includes a dual-lock, Arca-type compatible ball head. It has a large, primary knob for controlling movement of the ball and a second smaller knob for engaging the 360° independent pan.

The head also features a vertical notch for 90° tilts, a 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw, and degree markings on the panning base.

Bonus Manfrotto PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod

The black PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod from Manfrotto doubles as a tabletop tripod and a handheld grip support for a DSLR, point and shoot, or compact camcorder.

The legs are rounded on their outer side, so the closed tripod provides a comfortable hand grip.

When open, the tripod and head have a maximum height of 13.5cm. Rubber feet prevent slipping and protect delicate surfaces. Fabricated from stainless steel and black Adapto polymer, the PIXI supports up to 1kg while weighing only 190.5g.

Its built-in ball head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw and a unique design that allows adjustments and locking with a single push button. Besides cameras, the PIXI is also ideal for iPhones outfitted with the optional Manfrotto KLYP, and other small devices.
