Very lightweight tripod . Definitely a good and a bad thing. It is good enough for in home but may not be good in windy conditions as it has no way to anchor it down

The tripod fits my needs. I never realized what I was missing before. I use it for taking videos of wild life and at times I would shake so much that the pictures were blurred or distorted. Buying this tripod has been one of my best purchases. I love it.

Great tripod for the price, definitely does the job and offers great flexibility options, only con I found was the screw for the stand to be attached to the camera broke, forcing me to improve mid filming to attach the camera to the tripod stand.

Good for small light cameras. I put my dslr body on it with the mounted flash and it was too heavy for the tripod to support. If you're using more gear I recommend a pricier tripod

One of the best Purchase. We do not need any third person to take pics.. My SLR fits perfect and I can use handy phone holder for videos using phone. My kid uses this Tripod for her Youtube Video recording. Light weight and easily carriable.

The Tripod is not the most top notch but it does the job for what it is. Light weight easy to carry around. Exactly what I needed when I want to do something quick. I have my more “upscale” tripod lol when I want to do other things. I would definitely recommend this one.

Fairly good quality, materials are a little thin. But the tripod itself is solid.

I was wanting to own a tripod but i dont want the expensive one. I kept watching the clearance sale on Best Buy, and finally I saw this Sunpak Platinum Plus Tripod on sale. I bought it right away, it's almost like getting it for free actually. Thank you Best Buy! It's so easy to assemble and use, and holds even my big digital camera.

So far this has been a steady tripod with a simple lock in feature. My only complaint is the tiny amount of play in the 360 degree swivel head even when everything is tightened down and locked in, but it hasn't been an issue for any of my shots yet.

This tripod came for free with my purchase of the Canon T6 and let me just say I have no complaints. It works amazing. It holds my camera up super steady. The tripod also came with a holder to hold my phone which was an amazing surprise. Would definitely recommend to a friend

This is my first camera tripod, so I can't compare it to others, particularly higher-end products, but I am very satisfied with its performance. It stabilizes the camera well and is easily adjustable.. which is about all I could ask for. I'm not into extreme sports or inclement weather photography, so it's good enough for me and my family's uses!

Great deal of the day on this. I bought a few extras for miscellaneous use. Now I have one I can have with me in my car. I will be using for my camera and for other things not camera related, like a walking cane/stick or balance when I am outdoors.

This tripod is only good if you are using with your phone or ipad.
I am using actually this as a light stand. Funny enough but good actually for that purpose.
