    Camera Tripod

    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 needed a second tripod to use with my iPhone for videography. It's not as sturdy as my main tripod, but adequate for my use, and it's fairly inexpensive. The pistol-grip handle works quite well for adjusting the phone or camera.

    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.

    A light-weight but remarkably stable tripod

    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.

    I bought this as a gift for my daughter who is taking her photography from a novice level to a more professional level. She was in a need of a tripod for taking certain types of pictures. This seemed to be the best solution. It was at a reasonable price, was able to extend to the height she wanted and is very stable at all height adjustments.

    Very sturdy and when the camera is mounted I like how I can move the camera in almost every angel and not worry it will fall off. And the pistol grip makes it easy to re-position. And to elevate it high by just the turn of the crank and by the turn of the ring on the poll it secures it so it won't roll down.

    I like that this tripod doesn't make a noise while I'm filming. Easy to use, just push the button and turn any direction - takes seconds, also it's stable and pretty light. But if the tripod could have some kind of soft handle to prevent hand from getting cold during a winter - that'd be great. In general I'm satisfied. Good product for the money.

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

    For the price compared to other manufactures and models, this is a decent buy for just simple camera pictures. Sure there are a lot of better brands that cost considerably more if you are a serious photographer. But for someone like me that does occasional and simple camera use, it is a good buy for the price.

    I originally had a cheap tripod from Amazon, but it lacked the stability I needed for long exposures if there was even a light breeze. Then I found this article Best Buy. It was exactly what I needed. Stable but lightweight and the pistol grip and bubble level make fine tune adjustments a snap.

    This tripod is a sturdy dependable tripod, and I like it much better than the plastic tripod I was using. The only reservation I have with it is that the pistol handle sometimes makes it difficult to make a smooth panning motion, but I am getting to learn how to handle that better. Overall, I highly recommend the tripod.

    I especially liked the quick release to lift the camera from the tripod should I wish to follow a subject beyond the reach of the tripod setting. Versatile, reasonably priced and sufficiently heavy duty to meet my needs. A high quality product especially in relationship to its cost. Highly recommended.

    I am in real estate and this is perfect for shooting interior shots without flash. Multiple exposure HDR shots are clear. The pistol grip makes it convenient to level and reposition. Light for a tripod in that price. I wish it came with a bag but I have one left over from the old tripod that broke.

    I have been using my tripod for over a year. I use it for weddings, Baptisms and birthday parties. It’s great I just wish it was a foot taller as I find myself lifting it up or bending down to see out my camera lens and I’m 5’6”, but it was great for the price.
