great tripod, easy to use and lightweight without feeling flimsy. I used my Nikon D200 and it more than handled the weight of the camera. I did find it a bit cumbersome carrying it through the airport as it didn't lock and would suddenly open if I grabbed it a certain way.


4 out of 5 stars Nice tripod for the price   August 2, 2008

For $30, this tripod does a great job. Spend another $100 and you can get one with more metal parts. I just use this tripod at family events and short travels. Can't really take it on outdoor hikes because of its size and weight. I shoot photos and videos with it and have had no problems with it. Overall, it's a simple, adaptable and inexpensive tripod to own.

This is a very good tripod. I have a Canon 35mm SLR with 4 lenses, and a Nikon DSLR with 2 lenses(no lenses over 1 1/2 pounds) It is steady and solid with both cameras. I've used it indoors and out (dirt and sand) and in breezy weather. Not sure how it would do in a hurricane, but personally I don't want to find out. It does the job for me.


4 out of 5 stars 4 Stars for the Sunpak 9002DX - Great Tripod for the Beginners   July 24, 2008

UPS just delivered this tripod and i played around with this for a while. Lots of features. The tripod allows you to move the camera in almost all possible directions. Perhaps the best feature is when fully collapsed, it stands around 25 inches high. However when fully expanded. It around 6.5 ft high. So now matter how tall you are(unless you play in the NBA) you would be able to extend the height of the camera.

Why did i not give it 5 stars? As many other reviews, i agree that the plastic material used is nowhere near top quality and the entire tripod doesnt feel rock solid. But its solid enough for me(being a beginner).

And yeah, the extra camera mount is a plus. Now i can mounts my other camera on the same tripod real quick without having to remove the mount from first camera.

And yeah, free shipping and no tax is a good reason to buy this from Amazon.
