 Rock Solid! October 4, 2008

I recently purchased this tripod to replace a Vanguard VS55 Mini Table Tripod with 5 Section Legs for the instability reasons I wrote in my review for that tripod.
This Sunpak is MUCH sturdier, with mini-pins to lock each leg segment in place, and I have no fears of slippage or having my camera tumble. Plus, the threads on the head are of a MUCH higher quality, and threading the head into the bottom of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K 8.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) or another family member's Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom is very smooth, so I have no fears of stripping the threads.
The highly stable head is easy to manipulate to balance the camera atop it, and setup is very quick. I love this tripod. While slightly larger than the Vanguard, it's easy to travel with because it comes with its own vinyl bag with a sturdy drawstring and push-button locking "thingy" to keep the top of the bag closed tight.
I am a percussionist/drummer, and I've been using this to take stills and motion video of myself playing for self-evaluation, setting it up on a table adjacent to the instruments I'm practicing on. There is no wobble or shimmy in the stills or, more importantly in the motion video, even though there are sound waves hitting this camera so hard that the windows rattle and I easily can set off the glass-break sensors on my home alarm system!
A very good design, and a solidly built product that I highly recommend.
best small tripod I've seen August 1, 2008

this tripod is very sturdy for what it is. I shoot product photography on site and art collections... this tripod is invaluable to my workflow. I can hold the camera in a low-light hallway against a wall, and get nice steady shots in situations where a regular tripod would be an encumbrance. It is extremely stable on a table as well, rigid and easy to use. In short I trust it, but only when I am nearby (see below). It folds up small and light, without parts which would snag anything in a bag or pocket.
I shoot with a Nikon D40 right now... because the tripod is small, the D40 will tip it over when turned to portrait aspect with the camera not directly over a leg. I'm not sure how any small tripod would overcome this, though. The only real beef I have is that you really have to tighten the ball head to keep a heavy SLR from tipping... but it'll hold it, no doubt, at least with a kit lens. I probably wouldn't use this tripod with a large telephoto lens, unless I was holding the camera for a bit of additional support. For use with a point-and-shoot camera, this tripod would get an easy five stars.
Build quality is excellent... the legs are all metal and rubber, as is the ball head... the tripod top is hard plastic, but does not show any sign of fragility. I have had it four a couple of years, and it works as well as when I bought it.
I have used several small tripods, and this is far and away the best I've found.

Tripod is sturdy, flexible and lockable. It is a great product and inexpensive. Weighs almost nothing.
Great tripod for the price August 4, 2007

I bought this product for $13 and I have not been disappointed with it. It is lightweight, sturdy and does what it is suppose to. It also comes with carrying case
