Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently took the Sunpak - PlatinumPlus 63 Tripod on vacation to Iceland, Norway, Demark, and Sweden. I took over 5,000 photos, a lot of them were of Waterfalls, Sunsets and Sunrises using the 63 Tripod. Because I was on the move so much I really appreciated the easy set up and take down of the tripod. I was able to move to the right spot everytime.

Awesome tripod. Great Quality, stable lots of adjustments, QR ballhead. Compacts down nicely to fit in a backpack. Fits my camera backpack tripod holder without sticking up to high like Standard size tripods. Light weight for an aluminum tripod. I shopped around until scoring on this one. Great height adjustments for up high normal or for the down low micro or below eye level shots.. I use it with my FujiFilm X-E1 mirrorless camera. Comes with carring also.

sleek look, not heavy, easy to use, I do recommend playing with it first a couple times on how to use the legs and parts efficiently .

This is not very good for professional use. Not stable for high end cameras. Though very light weight and easy to use. For begginers its great. For macro, time lapse and other creative purpose you can find other very good options. I own 7D mark ii and i bought this tripod from best buy at only 50$ but I returned it. I have read all reviews before purchase, it was satisfactory but not for me.

Better than the comparable Manfrotto, in all respects, design, quality and price!. Over the years, the quality of Sunpak products has continued to improve, and this tripod is no exception.

I use it everywhere I go. Sturdy, portable and light weight - well made.

I went to Best Buy store at Dublin and was casually looking for a tripod. I opened the box and tested the tripod at the store. It seemed very easy to use, lightweight, sturdy and goes up to 63 inches. You can also adjust the legs whichever way you wanted and hope that it will be easy to set this tripod up across any tilted areas like hills. Was confused between this and Sunpak - PlatinumPlus Ultra 7000 2-in-1 70" Tripod and Monopod but this one was offering a free case, was lighter and folded to 15 inches which the other was not. Best buy is still giving this tripod at the Black Friday price and I didn't hesitate to buy this today

Well designed tripod. Legs fold over top of unit and is very compact. Most importantly it is tall enough for my 6'3" height.

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.

Chose this brand from previous experience and it gets the job done.

Wanted a compact tripod to take on trips. This works great. Folds down to an easy to transport size, yet opens to full size and is sturdy enough to hold any camera.

This tripod works great! Very easy to setup and use!

Great piece of equipment. Great ease of use & fits in carry on luggage

This tripod is fantastic it is easy to travel with and very lite.

This is the first real tripod I have owned, so take my review as you will. I have a Nikon D3200 (~1lb), and my heaviest lens (that I used with the tripod) is the Tokina 12-28 f/4 (~1.2lbs). This tripod had no problem with my setup. I bought this tripod to bring along during a Seattle hiking trip. My group and I hiked for 3 days. I got a lot of use out of this tripod. It's very sturdy and adaptable. I was able to prop it up against really anything to get a nice shot. It does come with a gear hook to make it more sturdy. I never had to use it though. I think the only downside is its weight. I could really feel its weight after hiking for a while, and it being attached to my pack. It is not a deal breaker however. The ball head is pretty good for what you are paying, but of course it could be better. That is easy to upgrade. All in all, it does a great job at keeping your camera steady.

Really smooth and strong frame. Fold up to be very small and compact

I love this tripod so much! It was either the manfrotto or this. I chose this due to the cost and how small it can get when you fold it up. I have taken this everywhere! Its been used at Joshua Tree, photoshoots, parks, hikes, etc. This tripod is not only portable but extremely light!!! 2 things I must state that may change your mind on this. 1) There is no "handle" to turn the mount when taking panning. There is a small knob but a handle (in my opinion) would have been better. 2) The shoulder strap for the case should be better. Mine ripped from the constant usage.

It's easy to set up and mount the camera on. It's very maneuverable and works great.

Forgot to bring a ball head during a trip. Fortunately there was a Best Buy nearby and they sold this product at a reasonable price. The ball head is removable and exactly what I needed. After a month of use, the product still works good as new. The tripod collapses easily for travel and comes with a zippered case. Good travel product for the price.

It’s small and compact, good for traveling but it is not very stable for professional photography
