    I bought an almost identical tripod about 20 years ago and it lasted a long time. The head on that old one became sloppy from holding up the old heavy camcorder, so I decided to get a new one to go with a new Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera. It worked out fine. It's not the heaviest or best built tripod, but it didn't break the bank, either.

    Light, cheap (in price), easy to use. Perfect for smaller projects and stills. Be aware that this is not made for heavier cameras or objects. I use it mainly for a laser leveler and it works fine.

    Great product for the price. If you need a tripod without a lot of whistles and bells, I would recommend this one. It’s adjustable, steady, lightweight, and held my camera well for what I needed.

    Very good value for the quality of tripod. I had to use this in a pinch for for a very nice camera and it held its own for vertical and horizontal shoots. It was so study and portable it now houses the second, small monitor on traveling video shoots.

    I recently added a new tripod to my photography gear, and it has been an outstanding purchase. This tripod is incredibly sturdy and well-built, providing a rock-solid base for my camera. It’s easy to set up and adjust, allowing for precise positioning to get the perfect shot every time. The stability it offers, even on uneven surfaces, is remarkable. It’s also lightweight and portable, making it convenient to carry around for outdoor shoots. Overall, this tripod has greatly enhanced my photography experience, and I highly recommend it to any photographer looking for a reliable and versatile tripod.

    Black Friday Deal Tri-pod

    I was looking for a cheap, light-weight tripod for when I just need to pop my H4N on a stand to monitor sound or put up my light ring. It works for both really well and came with a cell phone mount, which is cool. I've always likes Sunpak for their price and they don't totally fall apart immediately like many other cheaper tri-pods. My previous one I used to shoot short films for around 9 years before I lost it. Happy I nabbed this one on Black Friday!

    i needed a tripod to take pictures for a event, and i picked this one up because it met the height i needed it for. As a bonus it wasn't very expensive. After using it for a bit, took some pics of the family, i was satisfied enough with it. All in all its a good product its not heavy, has enough adjustment points to do whats needed, and it wasn't very expensive at my local Best Buy store. So yeah, small wins. bd

    I bought a couple of these because they were on sale for 50% off for $14.99 each, thinking they were disposable quality. After using them for about 2 months, they are quite nice! I was surprised how stable it was. They are cheap! Plastic parts with aluminum legs keep everything lightweight. But overall they work just fine. And at that price point you can travel with these and leave them with a aspiring new photographer when you are finished.

    This tripod is a must have when you don't have steady hands. Bought as a gift for our daughter taking photography classes. Starting out as a beginner in photography, this a great value. Taking pictures around town & you want to be able to focus without blurring pictures this was so helpful. Also was able to use for quick steady photos of my nephews & nieces, helped in making photos look very professional.

    Basic tripod with height adjustment features. It has built in leveling bubble as well. It is light weight and the overall quality is good. Wish the phone holder was designed differently, iphone 8 tends to slip out as the sides are curved however the holder has a good grip on iphone12 since the sides are flat.

    The tripod seems to be a good deal for the price. I caught it on sale. I have tested it to see if it is durable. It seems to be made of quality materials and seems more sturdy than a tripod that I had to return to another store with a defect. It has several adjustable heights and holds the camera in place pretty firm. I will have the opportunity to really put this tripod to test when I use it extensively for my dissertation. So far, so good!

    Pretty solid tripod, I was actually surprised considering the average cost of a high end tripod can be three to four times as expensive. I’ve been using it regularly and have zero complaints! The phone mount came in handy as well, however I mostly use this with my Canon R5 and it holds the weight fine!

    Easy setup and use. I would NOT recommend this for a SLR-type camera, as it is designed for lighter, point-and-shoot cameras. It is light weight, but stable enough for lighter cameras. The quick-detach camera mount makes it relatively easy to remove the camera from the tripod to take some quick, hand-held shots. The built-in level is also useful in assuring that your shots will not appear askew.

    they feel super flimsy because they are aluminum, but they turn out to be pretty sturdy while still light weight. i love the option to remove the entire attachment clip. that really makes it easier when switching around equipment often. also, this thing has a loosener and tightener for every function, double check the design and make sure everything is nice and tight so you don't get any surprises during shooting.
