Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak 620-080 Tripod
Customer Review: Good Enough!!! Suficientemente bueno!!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are enough english reviews: Este trípode en una maravilla!! Obtienes lo que esperabas y el precio especial (Veintiocho dolares con envío) es verdaderamente un regalo. Es ligero, pero fuerte y estable. El metal ha de ser realmente durable. Tiene, ademas del sistema de liberación rápida del equipo, dos burbujas niveladoras, para obtener un horizonte sin distorsiones, a no ser que quieras luego hacer cierta toma desde cierto angulo. Y aun quieras inventar con nuevos ángulos y planos, es necesario que partas de una posición "neutral" correcta y esta estabilidad y nivelación lo garantiza el Sunpak 620-080 8001UT.
La altura del trípode es sorprendente, yo nunca había tenido la oportunidad de hacer imágenes desde 60 pulgadas por encima del suelo, la verdad es una experiencia interesante!! Quiere decir que con esta altura tienes ademas unas posibilidades creativas excepcionales.
En fin: Sistema de liberación rápida; burbujas de nivel; estabilidad; altura; calidad de materiales de fabricación; son las características mas destacables de este trípode profesional. Es un trípode para trabajos profesionales de bajo presupuesto: Fotografías de eventos, fotografía fija de cortometrajes, etc. Estoy contenta de haber comprado este trípode por tan buen precio!!
Customer Review: A big tripod for those small camcorders, but sturdy and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this tripod because my other tripod was very unsteady and the legs kept collapsing. Sunpak 8001UT is more than steady, it is solid. In fact, it is more heavy duty than I need for my tiny camcorders and cameras. And it's lots bigger than my other tripod. I can't just put it in my purse or backpack. I have to lug it around. Still, when I need a tripod, this one is the reliable one.
The quick-release mounting plate means I can pick up my camcorder quickly when needed. There's a second mounting plate included, so I can quickly mount a second unit. Very easy to use.
The bubble levels are useful for getting the camcorder or cameras straight. Nice to have something like that included.
There are an infinite number of adjustments I can make to get my camera just so, from the height of the legs to the tilt and swivel of the camera. The center column will also extend to give a very nice height. I'm 5'5" and I don't need to bend over when the tripod is extended.
This is a terrific tripod. For its size, it is lightweight. I guess it really isn't that big for a professional photographer. For a person who owns tiny camcorders and cameras who just wants something steady and reliable, I wish it were smaller; but then it may not work so beautifully.
Customer Review: For $27, 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
For this cheap of a price, I'd give it 5 stars. Especially with the free super saver shipping. However, the leg locks are definitely not high quality and the bubble levels are somewhat cheap. The tripod uses plastic clamp style leg locks, which in my past experience work quite well, but these seem to be on the cheaper side. When clamped they provide sturdy support, but when unclamped you can really feel the "wobbliness" in the construction design (though this doesn't really affect performance). The tripod does come with two bubble levels (one on the pan head, similar to the type you'd find on a level lying around the house, and the second which is the circular kind where the bubble lines up in the middle like a bulls-eye). They are functional, but very slow to "find the center."
The tripod has a threaded bolt to hang a weight from the bottom center, but nothing is provided to attach to it. The crank handle is plastic and is a bit "wobbly" when cranking the tripod head up, and it doesn't feel very strong.
Overall, I still give this 5 stars since it costs under $30. It provides a lot of advanced functions that many more expensive tripods offer, but on the other hand cuts down on product costs by using plastic parts that aren't as strong. Still a great tripod!

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this 2 years ago and love the functionality it allows me to film and tape with less effort. This stand can adjust to ANY ANGLE desired by the photographer! Using a stand eliminates any camera shake from the operator, and allows you to capture subjects for longer periods of time without your arm getting tired of being in one position for long periods of time. The extending legs easily glide out of the chamber and lock into place. This is a sturdy stand, easily adjusted even to uneven flooring! The unit is incredibly light and compact, easily transported to events that you can't carry arm loads of equipment to. I'm thrilled with this camera stand, it's improved the quality of my work and creations. The biggest element it's changed for me is shooting still live photos, before, any little movement would effect the clarity of the picture, now I can mount the camera and not have to worry about shifting left or right, or angle, it's right where I left it for the last shoot. Great product!

Customer Review: finally our whole family is in the same pic and we do not have to ask someone to take our pic
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this one at amazon and am very happy with it. i used it when i went to a national park and it was absolutely awesome to use.
i didnt need a very expensive tripod. This one is light enough to carry. fits ok in a bigger backpack. easy to open and sets up fast.
2 plates come with it which is very required if u have 2 cams like us.
it is not very flimsy,legs are individually adjustable which helps on a slope. also we have used in windy areas too and there it didnt shake and it even has spiky feet to keep it steady ....good...
the height is really good as it comes almost to my eye level ie 162 cms( I do not remember the exact height of this tripod right now)
U really need a tripod this high if u want good pictures. i have found it to serve my purpose real well.
also it is real easy and fast to put in the camera using the quick release mount.
i did a lot of research when looking for this tripod and and this one fitted the best for specifications and money too.
