    Thought about ordering something online cheaper but at this price and since I could see it in my hand I went ahead and splurged. So far working out nicely no complaints. Nice and Light but still stable.

    Nothing fancy here, but for a lightweight, easy-to-operate tripod, it's pretty stabile and definitely functional. For non-professionals, this is a good, economical choice.

    It will hold the camera, but don’t expect anything fancy. I bought it because I needed/wanted a cheap tripod. This one holds the camera and therefor does it’s job.

    Works like a charm

    There are some tricks with this, but that's going to be the case with any tool it multiple adjustments that need to be locked most of the time. Once you get a hang of which knob, handle, or other piece adjusts for whatever angle or movement you wish to perform, this is a fantastic tool for video recording. It fit my Canon Vixia camera perfectly and I use it regularly now. It's a good height for most close to mid-range shots, but you're not going to be recording over people's heads while your camera is mounted on this. It collapses and sets up well, and the adjustments do make sense.

    Cheap and expendable but good enough

    Paid $19.99 for an open box unit missing some peices. Its used a few dozen times a day for passport pictures at my photo lab and the tripod paid for itself in one day with saved labor costs. A good entry level tripod for point and shoot cameras or environments where the tripod will be mistreated or mifht be stolen. Ratings are relative to the price I paid for it.

    This product comes already assembled and ready to use it also comes with 2 attachment heads. It is very lightweight and I would probably not use it for heavier cameras

    This Sunpak tripod has made telephoto and time lapse night photography a reality for me. Now I can be in our special family photo also. Has held my camera securely in every position needed so far. The telescoping three legs are perfect for uneven terrain. Christmas Best Buy discount was a great plus!

    Bought this on black friday as it was on sale for $10. For that price the quality is higher than the amazon basics one. It's my emergency, stays in the trunk tripod.

    I have been wanting to buy a tripod for a long time. This one went on sale and it comes with phone attachment which is very useful now a days. Everything seems sturdy enough. I just wish it comes with a carrying case

    It came missing one screw in the assembly, but I was able to fix that issue with a screw I had just laying around. This is a decent tri-pod, that is good at keeping a small camera pretty stable.

    Bought this tripod on sale to use mainly with a laser level. It is working well, especially for the price paid. It is as good as others at twice the price. It is a lightweight tripod to be sure, but it is working well for my needs so far. Happy with the purchase.

    My family hadn't had a camcorder before and bought one recently. We bought this tripod to use with the Camcorder. It is easy to fold up and pack away and very light. Very happy we decided to buy this with the camera.

    Reasonably priced. Acceptable quality. Must take care to get balance right to avoid tilted equipment on the mount. Did what I needed it to do.

    A good camera to go with your tripod

    When I ordered my camera, I ordered this tripod to go along with it. This tripod can easily be adjusted to go up to 5 feet and is ideal for taking pictures and/or shooting videos with camera placed on top of it. If you're a camera owner looking for a tripod, then I suggest that you pick this one up.

    I am not a professional photographer by any means, but this universal tripod is absolutely great. I am more of a recreational photographer and didn't want to spend a lot of money, and this was definitely affordable.
