A lot of great features for a low price. very stable, I love the quick release catch, and lightweight. I've had trouble getting a good horizontal on the tilt head, but otherwise a deal at the price.
 pretty good for what I payed for May 22, 2008

The weight is about right. I have no problem of carrying it around whole day, with all my lens in bag as well.
The images are stable with it, though I havn't tested it with heavier lens yet (I'm still saving for the 70-200/f2.8).
I found myself use it as monopod quite frequently, especially trying to catch indoor family event. But for this product, it works pretty well.
 Not Sturdy Enough May 14, 2008

My good, but old Bogen tripod was stolen, so I purchased this one in a hurry for an upcoming shoot. The Sunpack has many nice features for the price, and it is VERY light weight. Thus I can pack it around (I bought the case too) all day without a problem. But, it is lightweight because of all the plastic connectors and such.
So despite what the specs say, it just isn't sturdy enough to hold my Nikon D80 DSLR. I should have paid more and gotten a heavier and heavier-duty tripod. I couldn't even get the plastic Quick-Release tightened satisfactorily. However, if you've got just a small lightweight camera, this tripod has great features at a great price!

This tripod is looking cheap. And the joints are not that good. It is s bit difficult to smoothly turn.
 Arrived broken May 4, 2008

Mine arrived with the ball head broken off. The packing was awful, but that even wasn't the mail reason - the inner Sunpak box was barely deformed. I truly understand that I shouldn't have expected much for 29 bucks, but I expected it at least not to fall apart. The overall quality was very bad as well, the whole thing wobbled too much. And this model does not come with the carrying case. Shortly after I returned it I accidentally came across a similar quality level no-name tripod in Ross, but there were three key differences. First, it costed $5.99 (that is - six bucks) - a fair price for this. Second, it was WAY more stable and sturdy and did not break down so far (couple weeks since I bought it). And third - it came with a nylon case. It is still a very cheap and low quality tripod, but unlike this one, it works, and it costs 1/5th of its price. Hope this helps to make a decision.
