Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak 620-092 9002DX Tripod with 3-Way Quick-Release Pan Head
Customer Review: Great for p&s and SLR photography
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Excellent tripod that belies it's cheap price

Having recently moved from the UK to Wyoming, USA I was taken aback by the quality of the night skies here and this has reignited my love of astronomy.
I was looking for a tripod to use with some Celestron binoculars I was buying at the same time from Amazon, and was not disappointed with this unit, (or the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars for that matter).
The tripod is very well made, sturdy and lightweight, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it It also comes with an attachment with a quick release mechanism that means that you can easily swap what you are mounting, (in my case I can swap between mounting my binoculars and digital camera in a few seconds.)
If using this stand with binoculars for star gazing you will be very glad of the tall height this tripod extends to making finding a comfortable position to use your binoculars with this tripod a breeze.
For the price, it's outstanding value.
Customer Review: 'THE BEST TRIPOD EVER'
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT USED BY AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED USING THIS TRIPOD FOR HIGHER SETTINGS FOR MY SONY HANDYCAM CAMERA. GREAT SHOTS OVER PEOPLE'S HEADS AND IT WORKS REALLY WELL WHEN TAKING PICTURES ALSO. IT HELPS ME NOT TO HOLD THE CAMERA FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, WHILE IT CAN BE VERY TIRING. USED THE CAMERA TRIPOD FOR A WEDDING AND HELPED ME QUITE A BIT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TRIPOD TO ANYBODY, INCLUDING AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONAL PROTOGRAPHERS. BUYING EQUIPMENT FROM AMAZON.COM, THAT I TRUST VERY MUCH WITH ALL MY HEART. THIS INTERNET COMPANY HAS THE BEST EQUIPMENT ANYONE CAN BUY FOR A VERY LOW PRICE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR ANYONE TO USE IF YOU ARE PURCHASING STEREO EQUIPMENT, CD'S, DVD'S, CAMERA EQUIPMENT, HARDCOVER BOOKS,CAMERA CASES AND TRIPOD CASES. THIS SUNPAK TRIPOD IS THE VERY BEST YOU CAN BUY BY A LOW PRICE, GIVE IT A TRY. I DID, I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE.Customer Review: SUNPAK 9002DX:

I'm disabled and on a very limited income, so before buying this tripod, I looked at numerous reviews, only to find so many conflicting statements, that it was hard to decide, although most of the good reviews seemed to be written by people with more credibility. I also meticulously examined a photograph of the tripod, comparing it to the attributes mentioned in the description, and finally decided that it was unquestionably a good buy. When I received the tripod today, which I purchased from Amazon.com, LLC, I was not in the least disappointed. The fit and finish was very good, all adjusting functions were smooth, and the quick release worked flawlessly. This tripod is well worth the price offered by Amazon. Michael J.
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this tri-pod for my teenage son. I was a little hesitant, as some reviews tended to depict the product as cheaply made and unstable.
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.
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!
