    I have bought many Sunpak Tripods in the past when they first arrived at best buy and there were a lot of them. They broke down on me and I was unsatisfied with them and didn't buy them anymore. But thiiiiiiiis one!!! I decide d to give Sunpak another chance and bought this one for 40 bucks, i have to say!!!!! Woooooow! I was really impressed on how the built on this Sunpak Tripid is. I am dead serious in what I am saying. This Tripod Is veeeery sturdy and well built. This time, I was veeeery satisfied with my purchase. I mounted my camera on the tripod, the grip on top where i can move my camera in any angle i was just, Wow wow wow. Im serious guys. If you are seeing this, Buy this tripod. No other. There are tripods that are 100, 200, even 300 dollars. You dont need an expensive one. Get this one now. Promise you that this tripod will never give up on you.

    This tripod really impressed me, especially for the price point. The Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG is an amazing startup tripod for beginners—easy to use, solidly built, and packed with useful features. One of my favorite things is the quick-release camera plate, which makes it super simple to pop the camera on and off when you're on the move. It also offers an impressive range of adjustments, so whether you’re shooting low to the ground or need it fully extended at over 5 feet, it’s incredibly flexible for getting the perfect angle. It folds down compactly, which makes it great for travel or storage, but still feels sturdy and secure when in use. For anyone just getting into photography or content creation, this tripod is a great buy. Highly recommend as a budget-friendly, full-featured tripod to get you started the right way!

    Decent quality for the price. Pretty lightweight. Got for an impromptu home product shoot and it worked great for what I needed. Would recommend as a casual tripod to have around.

    I love this tripod. Great value. Solid for the price. The pistol ball head makes it super easy to angle your shot. I bought one. Used it for a year, then I bought 3 more. Worth it. Are there better tripods out there? Yes, but they will cost you $180+

    Well... I was first taken aback by the different rotating platform that uses hand handle rathe than levers. However, I have found that it works really well with my phone (S10) fr when I want to film my keyboard learning. Worhty of mention here is also the robustness of the tripod itself. A D3200 would sit perfectly on it without you worrying about it tipping over. it would have been nice if they included a case or bag that goes with he tripod, but I am very happy with it right now.

    This tripod is so great that I bought another one for my mother! It's lightweight. You can adjust the height. It's sturdy. I highly recommend it. If you're using it with a mobile phone, you'll need to buy a selfie stick. You take the phone portion of it and attach it to the tripod to hold the cell phone in place. They one I got was ReTrak - Bluetooth Selfie Stick. Also purchased from Best Buy.

    I purchased this to use for my niece 's Sweet 16. She asked me to be her photographer for the day. Very easy to get the camera on and off as well as being able to take portrait position photos. Not so sure about using it for videos. The handle has a bit of a choppy movement.

    Bought this “open package”. Didn’t actually unpack until we were in northern Canada and found it didn’t have the camera attachment included. Fortunately I had one from previous similar unit and made it work. Used it for some great astrophotography in Jasper.

    Beware—item arrived without a box, ruining the Christmas surprise for my husband. He saw it right at the door, and I’m puzzled why any company would ship without proper packaging, especially during the holidays. Disappointing experience!
