Customer Ratings & Reviews

Looking for a relatively smooth panning head that is sturdy when adjusted. The dampening of the left/right pan is not as smooth as I would have liked. The leveling of the tripod is nice and setting up the legs is fast and easy. I like the carrying handle grip. The mono pole that slides out of the tripod is very handy. Over all I give it an above average for features. A smoother panning head with some dampening and it would have got 5 stars.

This is the best back for your buck. Tripods can get really expensive and I only use mine for stationary video shots around the house. Not anything strenuous or traveling. So this is the best option! For anyone else looking to get something durable i would recommend this one! Great!

Nice sturdy tripod. Expands to four steps, but I prefer three which seems to make it sturdier. Smooth movements while panning or tilting. Hidden monopod in base, which is nice. Just be careful when twist locking the lengths. I think I kind of broke it at first use. But that's ok I guess, mainly need it for the tripod function.

Packaging was misleading and the salesperson even thought the same thing as I did. It looks like it includes two camera mounts but the image just represents the fact that the central mount can be removed to use as a more portable device on a single expandable pole. So be aware that it is just one device that has a removable feature. As far as the quality of the tripod itself - it is quite study and well assembled.

I do a lot of interior photography and video and really enjoy a higher angle when shooting. This tripod allows me to get great shots, and works well when working on stairs and other uneven surfaces so that I can get an even shot. I also like the hanger in the middle that lets you hang something heavy from it to secure the tripod for moving shots.

Good quality at a good price and definitely a complement to the camera which is got

Purchased these the day before a large event at work involving capturing video for an enterprise wide streaming video. These were easy to setup, connect the Logitech Zoom camera, and control through out the event. I bought a second one for home use!

I purchased this tripod to replace an older unit. So far this tripod is an excellent product for the money. It is a sturdy unit with two levels to assure a perfect setup. The unit includes two attachments to hold either a cell phone or a Go Pro camera. Unit also can be configured as a monopod.

Bought this with the camera purchase. It's a great tripod and work well for my application. Good price at time of purchase.

I really bought this to use with an outdoor micro projector and, occasionally, with my DSLR. I found the head too flimsy to hold the projector steady. So, I removed it and screwed the projector directly onto the center pole. That worked great. It does mean I have to adjust the tilt and angle of the image by manipulating the legs, but once it’s set, it’s solid. Other than that, it folds up very small and weighs little. Haven’t tried the monopod yet.

It’s easy to set up and works perfectly for travel, vlogging, and photography.

I have a pretty heavy setup with some observing binoculars, a camera mount and a DSLR camera. This tripod was just right and handled the load easily and was less expensive the others. I seems sturdy and heavy enough to easily support 8 pounds of gear. I'm a happy camper.

The tripod is very light, yet sturdy and stable. It has a great, convenient hook on which to hang your bag, and a super convenient handle to carry it wherever you need it. And the built in level is great to make sure your shots stay straight. And all for just over 50$. Can't be beat. (being used for a Canon 7D mk2)

Takes a good beating and great adjustability for any project. Light weight also.

Stays stable with a light (or counter weighted payload). However, it is a little difficult to use and manuever, as the stiction of the mechanisms is either too much, or too little (ie, not extremely precise). However, the monopod is awesome, as it is absolutely easy to use (by definition). Overall, the unit is light weight, and easy to carry, either in a bag, or by itself. For camera and small binocular use, it is more than adequate.

Light but very sturdy. I bought for my wiffle ball pitching machine.

I have only used this tripod for still photos and it works very well for that purpose. Very lightweight and stable. Overall a good purchase.

This is my first tripod. I'm no professional photographer but I love this tripod so far. Main reason I chose this was for the significant weight difference from the other sunpak tripods. This one is heavier and was exactly what I was looking for. I use it primarily for time lapse photography and family photos. The other cheaper sunpak tripods seemed like a light breeze could blow them over. Haven't found a use for the monopod yet but at least it has that option if needed. Besides the weight on this tripod, I chose this one because I wanted to try my hand at cloud time lapses to start out and noticed that this tripod can get a very decent angle upwards to the sky without the handle (forgive me I don't know if there's a technical term for it) getting in the way of the legs of the tripod. Some of the other tripods I looked at were difficult to get a good upward angle cause the handle would hit the frame of the tripod.

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced tripod then this one does the job. Extends a long way and is still sturdy.

I purchased this tripod on a whim. I needed a tripod but was not being picky to care about features but I'm glad I got it. The legs are fairly thick and sturdy. I hate tripods that have those tiny legs. It has a good height to it as well and can be converted to a monopod. I like the padded upper legs and it has a handle. Not the best tripod money can buy but if you don't want to spend a lot get this one.
