Not bad for the price April 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Works well, although doesn't exactly have the smoothest movement in the world. Best suited for still photography or video where the camera won't need to be moved. The carrying handle is hard to grasp, as the legs get in the way when closed -- so the handle is really only helpful when repositioning it with the legs open. The nice bonus is the extra quick release head, so if you have 2 cameras (or lose a head), you'll have a spare!
Great tripod at a better value! April 26, 2008

At first I got to admit I was a little skeptical about what kind of quality I would get for the price, yet upon arrival and after taking it on a test, the SUNPAK 9002DX really impressed me. The plastic parts that it is buit from do not seem to be the highest quality but it does not look cheap. The aluminu legs are thick and sturdy. One good feature is that its got the hook at the bottom of the middle rod, to hang you camera bag of backpack from. Overall, it is definitely a great buy if you are not a professional photographer and if you are just looking for something that looks and feels well without having to dig deep into your wallet.
Excellent value, a little complicated to use April 18, 2008

Firstly, the shipping was super-fast, I ordered this item on the 16th and it arrived on the 18th! I initially bought this tripod from circuit city (labeled there as the Sunpak 6464) for almost $55. Although I loved the tripod over my older and flimsier Samsonite, I still felt it was over priced, but once I saw this tripod on Amazon for half price and I realized its the same tripod with a different model number. So I immediately bought it. The tripod has some nice features:
Pros:
1. Two quick release plates
2. Bubble levels on plate and body
3. Versatile height adjustment, pan and tilt controls
4. Quite sturdy (for medium DSLRs, won't be effective for large telephotos)
5. Includes weight hook
6. Includes carrying handle.
Cons:
1. Quick release plate isn't small enough to leave attached on the camera.
2. No easy way to secure the legs together when the tripod is folded.
3. Carrying handle not well positioned.
Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I recommend this tripod for any amateur to semi professional users.
 Great for p&s and SLR photography April 10, 2008

I bought this tripod in spring of 2004, and it's been with me these four years now through thick and thin on all my adventures (including the 10'000 mile North American road trip over two weeks in mid-December, including driving through all of Yellowstone right after a -40 degree cold spell). I'm 6 feet tall, and I've used it on my film SLRs (light ones like the Ricoh XR7 and heavy ones like the Canon FTb) with decent-sized lenses, and with my point-and-shoots (Canon A620 is probably one of the larger p&s, also an early little Nikon Coolpix) with fabulous results. Just fabulous. I wouldn't want to use it for movies because the panning is not the best for that but this is great bang for the buck for the photography enthusiast (which I'd much rather do than making movies). Comes with two detachable mounting plates (you do own two bodies, right?). Someday I'll upgrade to a Bogen or something and will probably wonder how I lived before, but this is the best $20 I've ever spent on artistic gear.
Works great, feels solid. April 8, 2008
Have used this tripod for about a week now and the build is pretty decent. The legs are sturdy and the overall design works well. The only problem I have with this tripod is the handle to adjust the height feels flimsy and brittle. The built-in carrying handle is convenient and the extra tripod screw attachment for a second camera is a nice bonus.
