Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tripod is very intuitive to use, folds compactly, and keeps a camera stable! In particular, I found that the grips on the legs are quite good, and so I can often just shift the legs around to get the framing I want when the height is close-enough. It's also extremely compact for something that has this range of heights. As for cons, I'd say it's not a quick set-up -- it takes time to adjust the telescoping legs, and in particular to get them about the same length unless extending all the way. Also very much a nit but I found that when tightening components on the poll it causes the camera view to drift up ever so slightly right before it locks in place -- this only really matters with zoomed lenses, but worth considering when framing your shot.

Was looking for a sturdy tripod with a ball-head, decent height, and sturdy. This fit the bill. I've used it several times now and although lightweight, it is rock-solid for durability and holds my DSLR with large (600mm) lenses without any slipping or "creep". It's not a "quick" setup tripod, as there are numerous leg sections to extend, but the twist-style locks aren't a problem. My only complaint is if your hands are wet/damp, or the twist-lock mechanisms for each leg section are damp (from dew/moisture/humidity), they can be difficult to get a good grip on - have to use your sleeve as a towel. Other than that, it's a great little tripod and well worth the money. The accessory/weight hook is a great feature as well. It folds down nicely into it's own carry case and folds much smaller than other, cheaper tripods.

I love this tri-pod. I love the size, the weight and the price. I go to Disneyland a lot and their rule is that you can bring in a tri-pod for your camera as long as it fits in a backpack. Well this passed with fling colors!! I love that it folds up to 14 inc.

The Sunpak TravelLite Pro has been a handy addition to my travel gear. It folds down much smaller than a traditional tripod, which makes it easy to pack in a carry-on or camera bag. At full height, it’s sturdy enough for my mirrorless camera with a wide-angle lens, and the ball head makes adjusting angles quick. The reverse folding legs are clever and save space, though they do take a moment to get used to when setting up. It’s not as heavy-duty as my studio tripod, so I wouldn’t put a large cinema rig on it, but for travel, real estate shoots, or lightweight setups, it does the job well. The red accents give it a nice look, and overall it balances portability with stability. Great choice if you need something compact without sacrificing full height.

Best Buy Employee review: great lightweight tripod for small to medium cameras. I use it on my canon R5 as my travel tripod and it holds the weight very well. Overall sturdy and well built. Good price point as well

Bought this while on vacation since my other one broke. This one folds to a small size, enough where it fits in my backpacks water bottle pocket. Its light enough to be carried all day long and sturdy enough for my DSLR with a large lens. Price is also reasonable for the value and quality

Bought this tripod for a trip to the Mideast. Great weight and size for traveling. You can buy a smaller tripod if you want it for a small point and shoot camera. This provides a stable platform for my Canon Eos Rebel with telephoto lens.

If you are in need of a compact tripod this item fits the bill. I required something that would fit into a backpack, was still sturdy and lightweight... this tripod met all of the requirements.

So yes... I bought this because the previous one I purchased while I was in Cairo Egypt. This was sooooo much lighter, smaller, and very stable. I got some amazing shots while on vacation and it paired well with the IR remote. Worth very penny.

Super compact, light, and easy to travel with. I really like using the tripod for casual photoshoots like mini family shoots, but not great for studio product photography. The ball head does not tighten enough to hold the camera still if the camera is tilted down.

I’ve been very happy with this tripod. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel and on-location photo shoots. Despite being portable, it’s very sturdy and provides excellent stability for my camera. The adjustable height and reverse-folding design make it convenient to pack and set up quickly. It’s been a great addition to my photography gear, and the quality exceeded my expectations for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, travel-friendly tripod.

I am impressed with this tripod! It's sturdy, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use. The adjustable height and smooth pan/tilt head make it perfect for capturing steady shots. Whether I'm taking photos or recording videos, this tripod has become an essential part of my kit.

Defiantly my favorite travel tripod. The aluminum body with the rubber grips make it very easy to use. I usually keep it strapped to the side of my camera bag so it has hit a few things when I'm trying to get around and it has held up very well and the fact that it is only 2.75 lbs is great. I love that you can adjust the angle of the legs to make them wider if you want and the locks on the legs are great. I had big enough hands that i can grab all four locks to turn them at once which makes it really quick and easy to extend and close the legs. the ball head on this tripod is great as well. It makes it very easy to position the camera where I need it. this truly is a great travel tripod.

This thing is a great balance of weight, price, quality, and functionality. It has been all over the world with me and has not failed my expectations.

Overall, great product. The way the legs fold all the way up makes it super compact. Pretty sturdy build and good height compared to a lot of the other plastic tripods i’ve used in the past. The small base plate obviously limits camera/lens weight and isn’t the most incredibly secure but will do just fine for any digital or dslr camera and most smaller lenses. For a quick use, compact, travel tripod its a nice product and i’m happy with the purchase.

This tripod is reasonably priced and is very easy to use. The weight is relatively light but heavy enough to maintain steadiness. I am very pleased with it.

When I purchased this I was looking for a sturdy tripod due to my photography type (landscape photography). Let me tell you, this does the job. It has never disappointed no matter what terrain it has been used in, and has been able to withhold rough windy conditions. The carrying bag is a plus and is light weight and easy to transport. Only downside For me were the adjustable legs which you have to unscrew to adjust; takes a bit longer to adjust then I would prefer but still not a deal breaker!

I love this tripod! As a beginner in photography I been looking for a Tripod in the last two years and finally found a perfect one. Some that I have purchased were too big that were not travel friendly enough to pack up in my my carry-on luggage. And this one does! although it would add a few extra lbs to the luggage, it will fit inside your carry on. On the lighter point, its very sturdy and wonderful for photographing those special moments. It works wonderfully and can adjust to any height. It can go really high or really low, as you desire. I highly recommend this tripod!

Good light weight tripod. It is very versatile in that you have many different settings for the legs and you can use it for shots that require use low to the ground. It is also sturdy.

Great Durable Tripod - excellent for shooting still life's and landscapes. Holds the camera great and very flexible, lightweight and compact.
