I just started product reviews on YouTube and this thing is perfect! It's just a little more than the cheaper tripods that tend to be flimsy, but it's quality enough to keep around if you get more serious and start upgrading your gear.
I use an iPhone which makes this even better for stable video. A word of advice, though: if you're using a smartphone adapter, make sure you use the level app on your smartphone because the adapter doesn't reflect the bubble levels installed on this tripod.
Good luck creating content with this!

This a pretty basic, lightweight tripod. I would not use it for any heavy gear or in a windy situation, but for smaller cameras it is great.

Very good, very light tripod. It has a lot of flexibility in terms of height adjustments. Very easy to use. The trigger handle can be used to turn and pivot the tripod and it has a level window to ensure that the tripod platform is level. The trigger handle is not steady if you want to move the camera only in the horizontal plane, but you can lock the trigger grip level and adjust another lever to move the camera only in the horizontal plane. As a result I have to swivel the camera and not the handle to get my shots. Not really a problem though.

I love this tripod. For the price point it’s great for wha you get. I can easily manipulate how my camera sits while it’s on the mount and because it’s sturdy, I don’t have to worry about anything falling over.

I was really impressed with this tripod for the price. It is very sturdy and compact. I love the trigger swivel head with level. I found it a little difficult though to pivot the camera without moving the tripod or having to reset the trigger handle. The level is very handy and works well, but it is not very precise. An additional level on the camera plate would be nice to ensure the camera is perfectly level left to right. Overall not a bad tripod for the beginner to intermediate user.

I reluctantly purchase this tripod even though I was told to get a Manfrotto. Since the Manfrotto has no stabilizer bar I went to the store to try them out. My husband, who knows nothing about the tripods or the prices said the Sunpack seemed sturdier. The sunpack was also rated to hold my heaviest lens and flash, so I went for it. The tripod has since traveled the country with no issues. It is super sturdy as well. My only issue is they don’t give you a bag.

Sunpak deserves more credit than it gets. I had one for nearly 10 years until the handle crank broke off. Replaced it with this one. My last tripod purchase was a Manfroto and it was expensive and broke right before a wedding I had to film. This tripod got the job done that my Manfroto couldn’t do. Buy this brand.

Very lightweight and easy to move around. The pistol grip feature and crank to adjust mount height are very useful. I would purchase another.

Holds your camera steady. Would sometimes loosen if you move the pistol grip too much, but the ball joint wont move once it's locked

Holds all our cameras steadily and firmly. Easily adjustable; just the right height when adjusted. I would recommend this item to anyone who desires a good tripod. Best Buy has a great stock situation and you can be assured that you will get what you are paying for. Of course a minimum word count is a bit hilarious when you can review an item in just a few words! Read the first few words and you will understand of that which I speak. And I'm still not at the minimum...………………… Help!

I ended up taking this back, but only because it was about an inch too long to fit in my carry-on luggage. I would have kept it otherwise. I wanted to use it for a sky tracker, DSLR, and small telephoto lens, and I think it was solid enough to handle that load. Pretty good for a tripod at this price point.

I had a much more expensive tripod for my professional camera that someone else took on vacation forgetting I had a shoot that night. I bought this expecting it wouldn't last through one shoot with the weight of the camera and lens. I've started using this tripod more than my other just because it's easier. The only cons I can think of is it doesn't come with a carrying case and it feels cheap like it could break but it's held up much better than most other tripods I've purchased in this price range

A sturdy tripod for a good price. Very light as I need to move a lot. Will add wheels to this soon.
