Very sturdy and easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good tripod for the $. It is solid and sturdy. It lacks a few features that the more expensive one have but if you are on a budget, this is the one. The only negative in the shoe. The show it a bit hard to work with but not enough to diminish the value of this stand.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stability

Not Bad For Smaller Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This would be fairly solid for smaller SLRs, mirrorless bodies and compact cameras. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that has a heavier DSLR body and lens.

Free Tripod with Camera Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for a travel tripod, but is rather lightweight. I do not feel comfortable using this with a camera with the heavier telephoto lenses.

Not sturdy enough.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor build quality. It apparently can hold a camera up to 2.5 lbs but in my experience it was very unsteady with a camera of around 2 lbs. Convenient size.

Good for accessories
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This won’t work well for even a small camera, but will work with smart phone holder or accessories like digital audio recorder, which is what I got it for.

Not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tripod is very lightweight and mine isn't level. The swivel head is jerky as well. I wouldn't recommend this. I think there must be better ones.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a LG360 cam and needed a tripod that would hold it without showing it being on a tripod. This item is small enough to do the trick. It can also be use as a selfie stick. What I did is unscrew one of the level.

sunpack tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a compact tripod fast. Selected this one. My camera was a little heavy for it (Nikon d300) but it worked ok. The legs where more flimsy than expected, but did the job needed in a bind.

Cheap but they work well enough
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for these. I got these for holding some studio lights and they get the job done. I was originally closing these all the way down when not in use but I noticed that the little ball baring that hold the legs up have fallen in the poll. I had to use some tape to hold them. So now I just leave the in the mostly open position. I think these are great for lights as you dot move them much and the seem to be holding up just fine. I like the amount of movement in the holder.

folds down small for easy storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't use a tripod very often so haven't used it yet. Did set it up when I got it and it seemed really easy to set up. Love that it folds down nice and small for storage and would be easy to transport with me if I ever wanted to.

Works ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not overly impressed but for the price it's to be expected. It has a tendency to fall or tip forward or backward with the camera. As long as it's sitting untouched it's fine.

Great product,great value!
