I really like it but did not use it for o have to move around

I found this tripod to be over all very good in construction, light weight and easy to set up. It was an upgrade from my very old tripod and was to be used as a back up. I did return it only to purchase another with more support for the purpose of supporting the larger telephoto lens recently purchased. The upgraded tripod is good as well, yet not as light weight and not as easy to carry around. I would recommend this tripod for everyday use with shorter lenses.

This isn't an industrial strength tripod, but for one of the less expensive, lighter weight types, this one is great. I love the pistol grip feature which makes it very quick and simple to adjust the camera angle up, down, left or right without needing to loosen or tighten anything, and it is very smooth, so you can even adjust it while taking video without causing the camera to jerk around. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good non-commercial tripod for home use or light industrial use.

Did not use it because I got something better. Did not bother trying it came late

I bought this tripod becuase my older one had served its purpose and was on the way out. I was suprised at just how premium this tripod is for its price. For context it regularly goes on sale for $39.99, which is an amazing price. Everything else is great too, the metal frame, pistol grip (compact and easy to use), and its adjustable up to a very reasonable height. Overall, its a great tripod for its price ans I highly recommend. Nothing disappoints me about it.

Very happy with this purchase. My daughter is using it for her esthetician class and marketing. Very easy and sturdy.

This tripod is a good value for the price. Sunpak is a reliable brand.

Highly recommend. Great item for the price. Holds sturdy and raises up pretty high. Easily portable. Great purchase

It is sturdy light weight this is worth the money!

This tripod is a great "middle of the road" tripod. Not too light - but yet heavy enough to accommodate a nice camera. Weight and ease of carrying this tripod around was also important to me. When a tripod is too heavy, one has the tendency to leave it at home and then regret their decision. I really like the "grip" handle - just squeeze and adjust - no more levers to twist or turn. I would highly recommend this tripod. You won't regret your purchase.

I bought this and tried it out for a few days to see if it would work. It is great for what it is. I like the handle it had in order to move the camera in a pan and tilt motion. The only reason I returned it was because I found better tripods than what Best Buy had to offer. If someone wanted to buy a tripod, I would recommend this one as a starting point

Nice and sturdy. I use it for a mini projector. Pistol grip makes it easy to adjust.

I bought this SunPak camera tripod while out of town on vacation to replace one that I had inadvertently left at a friend’s house, and the quality of this new tripod almost made me happy that I been so absent-minded. Not only is it of lighter weight than the tripod I left behind, but it also has a circular swiveling cup at the bottom of each leg that gives the tripod added stability when being used on almost any surface. It also has a convenient pistol-grip positioning handle with a built-in level that allows the camera to be easily set to any angle, including a perfectly horizontal position. And finally it can be extended and retracted in seconds. I would recommend this product to any photographer who is looking for a tripod that is easy to carry around and easy to use.

Best tripod I have ever had, highly recommend this

This tripod is sturdy, has 2 leveling bubbles one for the overall tripod and one for the top pivot. I'm finding the top pivot trigger concept to be really flexible; however, you might consider upgrading to one with hydraulics if you need smooth tilt and pans as you will have trouble with those actions given the degrees of freedom the top pivot provides. But if you are taking photos rather than video requiring those motions, it is a great value for the price.

I ordered this tripod online and was concerned to find a cancer warning on the box that was not obvious online. Not sure why they couldn't just sell this for a little more money and not use cancerous materials, but whatever. Overall, I like it. It's pretty easy to use, and I really like the quick release plate and the little snaps on the legs. The only use related problems I had were with the little trigger to move the camera around. It was easy to get fingers stuck between the handle and the rod. Also, Depending on where the ball was located when moving the camera around, you couldn't position it exactly where you wanted. Had to put it up about an inch and let it fall to where I needed it to be. Was a little frustrating. Overall, pretty good for the price (got it on sale), but wouldn't buy for full price.

This tripod works well with my Nikon Z mirrorless system. The setup was simple and included everything needed if you're looking for an all-in-one type of package especially for the price. There was no need to purchase a separate adjustable mount for the base of the camera as that is included. I really like the squeeze grip for fast, easy adjustments on camera angles without having to mess with several different twist knobs like most others. The tripod itself is pretty lightweight which worked well with my lightweight mirrorless system, however, i'm not sure how sturdy this would be with a heavier lens system as I haven't tested that out.

I be love this tripod, it’s nice and sturdy it will serve me for a very long period of time

Surprisingly happy with this purchase. The stand is really very adjustable and feels very solidly built. I paired this with a cell phone holder and it works very well. I especially love the incredibly versatile pistol grip which allows you to quickly adjust the camera position. Used it for both landscape and portrait purposes with my smartphone. Used it for a few zoom calls. May use it for YouTube videos as well (if I ever get the lighting worked out). Accommodates "real" cameras as well, so I think this will last me quite a while.

I am not a professional photographer, but I do take product shots in a light box, and this tripod has allowed me to take better photographs, being able to secure the exact position without any shake every time. It is very well built, it does not feel flimsy at all. It features two leveling bubbles, one on the tripod base and another on the movable head, which I've found quite useful in certain situations.
