Cheaply made, the camera shoe lever broke on mine the second time I used it. If you want an inexpensive one this is okay. If you are using it a lot look elsewhere.

Pretty cheap but can work in a controlled setting. I wouldn’t recommend it for traveling, outdoor photography, or for use with any heavy cameras.

Purchased with grift cards and not wort the $20 price tag. Maybe about $10 or less. It does the job but very flimsy. Should have spent more money on a stand.

Very light use and this tripod disintegrated in less than 6 months. The legs came off and next were the leg supports. The only well built part was the head itself. Although plastic it seems pretty durable. This doesn't mean I'll stop buying Sunpak products but I will be more careful. Sometimes the DOTD isn't a deal but a product clearance opportunity which I understand. But I Love DOTD!! Check it every morning without fail!

Lower price suggests lower quality. Fittings are not proper and devices will tilt a lot even when fitted properly. Not recommended for pricey devices

It fine if you just want one for a day or two. But it is cheaply made and smells very strong!

I'm new into the camera world. I asked for employees advice and they all said that this was a good one to start with. Well, guess what? It broke. I don't even know if I'm able to change it because they will say, "it's your responsibility" instead of being honest and helped me...

I was taking pictures of the moon and my camera fell off the tripod, The click that is supposed to hold the camera to the tripod failed.
My $4k camera is not working now, neither my $1k lens (Lens was a prime lens, not heavy). Thank to this tripod I lost all my working tools. DO NOT BUY THIS, if you care about your gear.

Horrendous Quality

I know that for tripods, oftentimes you get what you pay for, but for the $10 I paid for this, it is not worth even that. The material is extremely weak, so much so that it arrived at my door with a leg already snapped. Thankfully, Best Buy had no problem taking it back. AVOID

The material is super cheap. It cant hold off my camera with a 50mm lens!!! It dropped it twice! Basically you cant use this tripod on a dslr even tho it says you can because IT WILL KEEP LEANING DUE TO CAMERA WEIGHT!!
The camera I used was pretty standard : Canon T7i
