Product Description

Get increased performance and extraordinarily sharp pictures that will exceed your expectations!

With the use of a tripod you can achieve greater performance and maintain image quality for cropping and larger picture sizes. Also, it will allow you to holding steady enough to deliver all the performance the equipment you invested in can provide. You might even get into some pictures yourself, with the self-timer feature and your SLR camera held secure on this tripod.

The Pros already know! Go to any sporting event and you will see them on the sidelines, or even in the controlled situation of a studio, using some means of support, usually a tripod.

Main Reasons to use a Tripod:
Get maximum image quality whether you are shooting stills or video.
Extremely Sharp pictures even at the shorter focal lengths and macro applications, never mind at the extreme telephoto settings where every little movement is magnified and reduces picture sharpness.
Avoid camera shake from hand holding, and never worry about shooting at slower shutter speeds.

Lightweight and sturdy, this tripod is supplied with a fitted case and 2 Quick Release Plates for an additional camera or camcorder; it can be easily taken anywhere to gain maximum performance from your Camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tried many and this one is by far the best, September 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sunpak 59.4" PlatinumPlus 5800D Digital Tripod with 2 Quick Release Plates and Case for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony Digital Cameras (Electronics)
I have to buy lots of video equipment for my work and the tripods have always been a point of irritation for me. I kept having to replace the tripods because they kept breaking, even really expensive ones. After trying this one, I will never get anything else; it takes the cake by far. Basically, it's sustainable - the plastic hinges and the pivoting head won't break off easily even with tough treatment. It's light too! You won't find a better tripod for this price. Save yourself the trouble and just go with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tripod, May 31, 2009

This review is from: Sunpak 59.4" PlatinumPlus 5800D Digital Tripod with 2 Quick Release Plates and Case for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony Digital Cameras (Electronics)
As a novice digital photographer and video maker this has been a terrific item for me. It fits my Nikon Coolpix and Flip Mino HD camcorder perfectly. I have shaky hands and when I go out to take pix of Oregon's beautiful scenery this is what I use. It pans very well and is easy to set up and use. In addition it is lightweight and comes with a shoulder strap travel bag. If you need a tripod this is the one to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tripod!, December 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sunpak 59.4" PlatinumPlus 5800D Digital Tripod with 2 Quick Release Plates and Case for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony Digital Cameras (Electronics)
I did a lot of research to find an affordable and well balanced tripod for my Nikon D3000. This particular tripod has everything that I wanted in a tripod. It's tall, well balanced, easy to pan and tilt, and it comes with a tripod bag and a second quick-release head. When fully extended, it doesn't seem to wiggle as much.

Pros:

-Lightweight

-Nice Aluminum/platinum color.

-Well built/balanced

-Retractable spike tip

-2x quick-release heads

-doesn't feel cheap.

-has a good load capacity

-better value than other expensive tripods

Cons:

-N/A
