Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak 620-080 Tripod
Customer Review: Well worth the money, fine for the average photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Sunpak 8001UT after a friend had bought the Sunpak 6601UT and was very satisfied. The only reason I went "up" to the 8001 was it qualified for free shipping (just over $25) whereas the 6601 didn't. For the price, the build quality is excellent and should serve the average consumer well. It is not what you would call bullet-proof by any means, but treated with a reasonable amount of care there doesn't seem to be any reason why this tripod won't outlast your next 2 or 3 digital cameras. The hinges on the stabilizing bars are rivets, that seems to be about the weakest point I could identify on the unit, but still seem sturdy enough. It's lightweight, folds fairly compact, and has been stable enough for me even on somewhat windy days. I couldn't be more pleased considering the price. It's amazing what $26.99 will get you, especially considering that these days the same amount of money will only get one of my two gas tanks on my truck half full!Customer Review: Durable and lightweight - a really nice tripod!

I purchased the Sunpak tripod after doing some research online. The other positive reviews of this tripod on Amazon helped sway my decision to purchase it. In short, the Sunpak delivers. It easily opens and closes, and has a quick detach lever you can use to quickly remove the camera from the tripod should you need to follow the action.
Once locked in position, the tripod stays locked. It's incredibly versatile in its adjustment. A small level bubble comes with the detachable mount; you can use this to ensure your camera is straight and not at an awkward angle. As a professional wedding videographer, I can't praise this tripod enough. The Sunpak is exceptionally sturdy while being lightweight. It's also easily transportable, and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Fantastic for the money

I am not a professional photographer, but for my amateur uses, this is an excellent tripod considering its cost compared to some other brand names.
It is extremely lightweight, completely intuitive, and has great features like built in levels and a geared telescoping center stand that makes it easier to lock.
If you are juggling a few things at the same time, you can still do a lot of adjustment on the tripod with just a single hand - I love it.
All of my use for it so far has been indoors, on level ground, and I am using it for macro shots into a lightbox with a digital camera. For this environment, it is perfect for me.
I can't speak for uses outside of that since I haven't tried it elsewhere yet.
Customer Review: Love this tripod!

This is an excellent, light weight tripod and is so versatile! each leg is individually adjustable and locks securely in place. the levels aid in making sure you're even all around, horizontally and vertically. you can move your camera horizontally and vertically and even stand it on end with this tripod... and it packs up easily and quickly. the only thing that bothers me is the level where your video or camera sits, i can't see it well with my camera attached. another great thing is that the plate your equipment screws to is removable, and an additional plate is included with this tripod... i've been leaving one plate attached to my camera, so when i'm ready i can just snap it in place!Customer Review: A very good tripod for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This tripod is quite sturdy and supports my fairly heavy Nikon D200 very well. The anglular adjustements are a little clunky, especially compared to a nice (expensive) Ball Type Head, but for the low price this unit sells for it can't be "dinged" for that.
I recommend this tripod to anyone who, like me, hasn't had an opportunity to go "tripod shopping" yet in order to pick out a very high quality, light weight, easy to use, and expensive unit. You don't want to spend a bunch of money unless you know what it is your buying. Until then, buy this low cost solution. It works fine, and who knows, this may be good enough to put off buying that high dollar unit for a long time.
