The only problem I have is with the 'pop-up' button in front of the manual screw that holds the camera to the pad of the tripod. It's supposed to poke the hole under the camera to prevent the camera from moving side-to-side on the pad. Button is so small that my camera moves laterally by about 20 degrees. Maybe, a replaceable or adjustable button should be provided to minimize this problem. OK, but with a bit of problem

This is worth 20, maybe 30 dollars. If you're going to spend 50 dollars, you should go with a ball head for panning and the like. In the time I got it, some of the cheap plastic parts have already broken off, and I had to send it in for replacement once. Over priced

Both packages were packed very poorly and I am surprised the second tripod works properly. <br /> <br />Once I was able to get past that, this tripod is what I expected. The quick-release heads are very useful if you have more than one camera. This tripod has bubble leveling on the tripod body, as well as on the heads. I would recommend this product to a casual photographer who is looking to stabilize their camera in almost any situation. Can Amazon please lern how to ship things?

For the rest of us, this is a great buy in my opinion. It is very adjustable, seems to be well built, and so far does everything I could ask of it. It also has a quick-release so you can "pop" the camera off in a second if necessary (which I find very useful), it's pretty light too. I haven't traveled with it yet, so I'll reserve judgment on that for now. I guess the bottom line is for amatures like myself it's a great product. It does everything tripods costing two to three times as much do. Sunpak 620-092 9002DX tripod

I'm using it mostly for stargazing with my Celestron 15x70 binoculars, and it works well. I've also used it to take some nighttime pictures. The tripod is lightweight, and fairly sturdy. It seems pretty well built for the price. It is rated as 'medium duty', and I agree with that. If you need something for 'heavy-duty' work, then look at something better. For the price, it would be tough to find a better tripod. Just don't expect $100 performance from it. Great value for light-medium duty use.

I was a little hesitant, as some reviews tended to depict the product as cheaply made and unstable. <br /> <br />I have to think those reviewers were used to more professional-grade photographic equipment. This project exceeded my and my son's expectations. It's easy to use, seems well-made and well-equipped; it's light and easy to carry. It's everything we wanted and much higher quality than we expected for the price. <br /> <br />This purchase is not being used by professional photographers, so I'm not comparing it to more expensive models made for such use. But for the average photo taker/video maker, it's a great choice! Better than expected

When I took the tripod out of the plastic bag that it comes in, I noticed a couple of little black plastic pieces and quickly realized that it was from something that had broken inside the tripod. When I pulled the tripod out and extended the legs, one of the three quickly fell to the floor and came right off the tripod body. It appears that the connector that holds the leg on to the body was broken and it looks like it is made out of very cheap plastic. I don't see how this item would have a long lifespan being built with this cheap plastic. <br /> <br />After I realized that the tripod was broken and could not work at all, I called Amazon support to see if they could get another one shipped out quickly. Of course I was connected with Adam from India and he told me that there was no way to do this because they were on backorder until the second week of Feb. (1 month from now); however he told me that I could order it from an Amazon reseller for $15 extra + $20 for shipping if I'd like. <br /> <br />I needed this tripod because I'm leaving the country in a couple of days so I couldn't wait for Amazon to restock it's warehouse. Bad experience with Sunpak and bad experience with Amazon. Bad Experience

I went to the store to see the real thing, but was disappointed at how small the cheap ones are (and of course, the bigger ones are very expensive). Then I found this one on Amazon, which I think might be a discontinued item because it's not on Sunpak web site. I'm very pleased with this product. It's well-made, very sturdy and more than enough for an average user like me. I use this when recording my baby's daily activity and it's definitely doing its job well. With what I paid for on Amazon, it's worth every penny. Highly recommended. Solid product

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. <br /> <br />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). <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />And yeah, free shipping and no tax is a good reason to buy this from Amazon. 4 Stars for the Sunpak 9002DX – Great Tripod for the Beginners
