5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for the price, June 12, 2004

For the price at Amazon it's a great buy! The build and design is extremely good considering it's under $20. This is a COMPACT tripod as another reviewer has noted, and is for light weight cameras/spotting scopes only. For most of us a 2-way pan head is fine - I wouldn't buy this as my one-and-only tripod, it's for when you want a tripod that's light weight and doesn't take up space yet is still reasonably steady if you don't overload it. I've bought a lot worse tripods for more than double the price!

I'm planning to put a bit of silicone grease on the two axes to make it pan a bit more smoothly. Other than that, this tripod is a great value for the price, I'm glad I bought it.

Although this tripod is limited in its functionality, it is extremely lightweight (1.6 lbs) and folds down to about 14 inches which is what I was looking for. It also holds up to 3.3 lbs and seems to be built relative well for its size. I originally looked at the ultra compact tripods which have the telescoping legs (like an antenna). Although they are smaller and lighter, they don't hold has much weight and the legs look like they will eventually break after limited usage. As someone stated earlier, this Sunpak would not be your main tripod but a second tripod you could take on hikes, tours, etc where carrying a heavier tripod would be cumbersome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact & portable, March 10, 2004

The Compact SXL is designed as exactly that- a COMPACT tripod. Sunpak has many larger models, but this one is intended to be compact & portable. The U212D Slik is a much heavier, less portable tripod & is not a comparable model.
