Manfrotto Pixi Evo Stativ

Works very well for supporting my Tascam DR-05XP, and my mobile phone clamp.

Bought to fit iPhone 16 Pro (in Mous Case) onto Joby GorillaPod - great attachment to the tripod, but tricky/not great on the 16 Pro, due to the placement of the buttons/camera control slider.

I have a Sony digital camera but I need a bigger monitor than the on camera screen because of my eyesight. The bracket was to hold my mobile phone ( a Sony Xperia 5v) connected to my camera - and sitting on the camera hot shoe - to act as a larger monitor when using my camera tripod. The phone has the software to do this but I now learn that my camera (model a68) does not link up, though the phone information states that you can link up a Sony model a camera. I can attach the phone with the right cable but can only use it to view images I have already taken. The bracket itself works fine if you wish to use your mobile phone on a tripod to take photos.

Clamp spring far too strong and powerful. It feels like it would crush my smartphone.

It's a good little gadget. How long it lasts only time will tell. The locking mechanism should probably be some kind of metal and not plastic. The clamp is fine with my S20 and it looks wide enough for the Ultra and other gisnagerous phones.
