Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being tall (6'2"), I like that it can get the camera all the way up to eye level with me. It's very solid at full extension and easy to use. The built in carry handle in the center post is nice, and so is the removable center section that becomes a monopod. My only concerns are that a couple of the leg locks tend to be finicky and not want to lock all the way on the first try (or 2 or 3). But once you get them locked in, they stay. If they don't, you know it because the lever almost immediately pops open. My other concern (not as big a concern) is that when you lock the head swivel with the screw lock, if you turn the head counter clockwise with the hand-held rod (don't know what it's called), it is easy to start unscrewing the head from the center post. And it's very difficult to really tighten down the head to the center post without tools. but be careful not to break the plastic. It's debatable whether I would recommend it. There may be other tripods just as good or better for the same money

I was looking for a sturdy full size tripod to mount my phone on while videoing. The the clerk recommended this one. It gets three stars because of the construction at the top of the tripod. The mounting mechanism wobbles and cannot be tightened around the neck.

Sturdy though lightweight compare to my previous Sunpak 6500. It even comes with a monopod with is a big help having a full frame dslr with big lens at the end.

The Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 7000 2-in-1 70" tripod and monopod ticks all the boxes for a photographer like me. It is portable, versatile, and provides the stability needed for both video and still photography. Whether I'm capturing the bustling energy of city streets or the serene beauty of nature, this tripod/monopod has become an indispensable part of my photography kit.

Nice tripod … sturdy and lightweight. Haven’t figured out how to get the unipod out yet. Otherwise a nice tripod for the price.

I purchased a version of this tripod about 10yrs ago and then another when the glue on the monopod eroded and got stuck. For the price, was extremely happy w the first unit. Even as my kit evolved, I kept the sunpak 7000 because I could always find a use for it. When I ordered a replacement, the new one, right off the bat, felt cheap. The metal wasn't as strong. It was lighter thoe. Also it scratched immediately, but not a yuge deal. The edges of the cuts in the plastic where the plate goes were super rough, like it was torn rather than cut. Worst thing is the foam handgrips are much much lower quality, so they flake off immediately on your hands. Never an issue on the version i purchased earlier. It's so bad I had to gaffe tape the handles to not get little flakey foam bits on my hand when using the tripod. Annoying, but at the end of the day, once I gaffe'd it, it was useable at a cheap price. It goes high, its lightweight, its quick to set up, u can buy plates for it. It's good enough still, but disappointing it's not as good as the version I bought 10 yrs ago.

I thought I would try this tripod out being the price was very competitive. This tripod sets up easy, is very sturdy, and the mono pod built in removes fast and easy. Has a great hook in the middle for equipment bag. very happy with this product.

I have filmed live-action cultural dancing for over past 10 years with over 3,000 edited & uploaded HD videos on social media. Filming indoor & outdoor, in wind, on natural grass, on dirt or sand, etc, this tripod is very versitile, offers a steady filming platform, with awesome steady panning. Not too heavy to carry all-day, or night. Quick & easy set-up, or transition to a different scene. And, very sturdy over the years.

The Sunpak tripod I purchased is very handy! it has a mid level stabilizer, two levels, a handle to carry ,4 stage leg system and it is very light weight. This will work for light travel photography. Overall an excellent buy for the money!

This thing is sturdy and light. I needed a tripod that could extend 60" without breaking the bank and this one was it. Excellent tripod for the price.

It works great, however it did come dmg had to switch it

Durable and light weight. Adaptable mono stand is convenient.

Great price for the piece of equipment. It is sturdy and light weight. It is also easy to use.

This trifold is so easy to use and it holds my large binoculars in place extremely well. I had no problems setting it up, or collapsing it down. Its lightweight and easy to carry and its fully adjustable and stable on uneven terrain. Its compact enough to store in a closet when not in use and travels well in any size vehicle. Im very impressed with this product.

Still to new to give full review .Lot of plastic but has stood up so far. Many nice features for good price. Monopod was why I bought this, good and stable at full height. I use it weekly for volleyball tournaments. It's sturdy and good features for price.

Pretty stiff, well balanced tripod. I mount a Nikon D7000 with a 300mm lens which is pretty heavy (about 10 pounds) and it handles it very well. Love the monopod although its not for heavy cameras and lenses. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing product. It's the best of both world. I would be however be careful when screwing the mono pod after re inserting since it's leave a small screw dent.

Light weight, easy to use, and very durable, monopod is a major feature

I tired using this product when my previous tripod broke. Amazingly this is a much better option. The previous tripod was in the 25-50$ range I believe and after a couple months or serious work the legs broke. This one is very sturdy and built to last. I mean this thing is solid and yet still easy to transport with the built in handle. I haven't used the mono pod feature yet. It having that option wiiit having to buy a separate item is awesome. I'm glad I bought this product

Good for the price. Needed it in a hurry and it was simple enough to put together.
