    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    This tripod is nice and lightweight, as well as quick and easy to use. I would say it it slightly overpriced, but not terribly. The trigger handle is a great idea and makes for quick photo adjustment, but for video the handle could stand to be a little longer to allow smoother panning.

    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!

    We were recommended this tripod by an employee, it’s very sturdy and does the job for a good price. We wanted something that would last but was affordable. The length goes pretty high which is great and is easy to use.
