This is a Great little tripod, If you spend about 5 minutes fixing it. The black housing at the top of the legs does not allow the legs to open wide enough to really add stability to the tripod. However, a 5mm hex wrench removes the head from the legs, and you can pop off this black housing. Add a 3mm washer to the top of the head and re-assemble and it allows full leg use and actually looks better i think. If you buy it - mod it, or dont bother! Itll be too top heavy to be worth its value.

I purchased the Sunpak PlatinumPlus 4200XL tripod to use with my mirrorless camera, and it’s been a solid choice for the price. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, which makes it perfect for travel or quick shoots. The adjustable legs and smooth pan/tilt head make it simple to get the right angle, whether I’m taking still photos or shooting video. While it’s not designed for heavy professional rigs, it’s ideal for casual photographers, vloggers, and anyone who wants a stable platform without breaking the bank. For under $30, you get a dependable tripod that does exactly what it promises.

I was taking a trip to Colombia, and saw this tripod the day before. What a handy purchase it is incredibly small and can easily fit in a back pack ) I had mine in as shoulder bag) on several occasions the group I was with wanted to take a group shot I was able to set this up in seconds and use our cell phones to take pictures ( an additional piece is needed to hole the phone or device). Then I was also Able to use it as a selfie stick for the price point it was a great product !
