Customer Ratings & Reviews

This looked like a medium duty stand in the picture. It was more light duty than I though it would be. The legs are really weak. After about 15 uses, one of the bottom leg sections broke at the clasp. There is a thin white plastic sleeve that fits between the legs at each clasp, and this plastic sleeve broke, so now the leg won't clasp together. This makes the bottom leg sections useless unless you use duct tape. Also, I don't like the handle that's used to position the camera. There is a cup shaped fitting under it with a notch. If you want to tilt the camera all the way forward, the notch has to be lined up straight with the camera before it will tilt. Stand might be ok for limited use a few times a year, but not something for regular use every week or two. I emailed pics to the mfgr and waiting for a response since it has a 'limited lifetime'. Will update if I get a response.

The Sunpak Ultra 6000PG tripod is a great buy for the price. It’s sturdy, lightweight, and easy to set up. The 61” height is perfect for most shooting needs, and the pan head moves smoothly for video or photography. Great for beginners or casual use. Definitely worth it!

Having tried a range of tripods over the years, the Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG stands out for several reasons: Build Quality & Finish: The black finish gives the tripod a sleek look, and it feels well-constructed. The materials used inspire confidence that it can handle a variety of shooting environments. Height & Adjustability: With a 61" reach, this tripod is versatile enough for most standard shooting needs. The various height adjustments are smooth, ensuring I can quickly get the angle I need. Stability: Crucial for any tripod, and the Ultra 6000PG doesn't disappoint. Whether I'm using it indoors or in mildly windy conditions outdoors, it's remained stable, ensuring crisp shots every time. Pistol Grip Ball Head: This is one of the standout features. It allows for quick positioning and locking of the camera, which is especially handy when I'm trying to capture a fleeting moment or adjust on the fly. Portability: Despite its robust build, it's relatively lightweight and comes with a convenient carry bag. It's been an easy companion on my photo walks and outdoor shoots. Price Point: For the features it offers, the PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG offers excellent value. It competes well with tripods at a higher price bracket. A slight drawback I've observed is the time it takes to set up and break down when you're in a hurry. While the leg locks are secure, they might require a bit more time than some of the rapid-release systems on pricier models. But once set, it's rock solid. In summary, the Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 6000PG is a reliable tripod for photographers and videographers of all levels. While it might not have some of the bells and whistles of high-end models, it gets the job done and offers excellent value for its price.

It has a lot of functionality. I like how it’s easy to transport too.

This is a great beginner tripod! I used it for a photoshoot for a school project and it was so easy to use right out of the box. I do wish the legs were a little bit sturdier but for a starter tripod it’s great to help you get the shot you need, as long as the camera isn’t too heavy and it’s not too windy outside!

It was an easy set up and does a great job of holding my phone in place while I make videos.

Love it! Just what I've needed to assist in my photography journey

I'm thinking about adding this item to my inventory in the near future.

Great tripod, easy to use with camera, overall great.

I purchased this tripod with the hopes that it would be able to hold my P1100, however it wasn’t able to hold the weight of the camera steady enough while taking pictures also broke within 2 weeks of purchasing it. Wound not recommend buying this for bigger heavier cameras.

First time using a tripod with a "grip" lock, and I liked it. Rubber feet are good. Easy to adjust and it was steady.

It’s a cheap tripod that performs like a cheap tripod. If you need something that you can fit in luggage, this is an option. But it’s not going to hold up forever.

Love this tripod. No more fighting with adjustments. The trigger handle with free movement makes it easy to adjust between shots.

This is my favorite tripod with the trigger and gun grip to position the camera at the right angle no matter where that is.

This is a great tripod for your camera. Very sturdy and easy to put at different levels.

Really good quality for the prices and easy to Use, buy it if you have not too heavy equipment

This tripod is easy to use and adjust. Compact, light, and attaching the camera is effortless and secure. I would recommend.

Love love love this tripod. I would recommend this item.
