This review is from: Sunpak 620-777B Ultra Pro Tripod with Bubble Level & Quick Release Plate (Electronics)

I have had the tripod for a few weeks. I selected it because it had a decent capacity (11 pounds) and was quite sturdy. It arrived quickly, the product is as advertised. It is a bit heavy, not something you would go backpacking with, but I did not buy it for that purpose. I wanted something that I would put the Nikon digital SLR on and not have to worry that a gust of wind would tip it over. The legs are a little stiff when you go to setup or take down. That might change as I use it, not a huge issue. The knobs and crank seem to be well made, the head operates smoothly. I have been very satisified with the purchase.

This tripod overall is very sturdy and solidly build. One of the good points of this tripod is its weight and solid build construction, very good rubber footing design that is better than some of the expensive products out in the market. The buble level indicator is also good to have. I purchased this tripod for my Canon 40D because I need something that wouldnt be blown off by the wind or if someone inadvertently bump into it and won't topple down so easily. Also I was looking for tripod that would hold a mid-size telephoto lens with the D40. Unfortunately, I had to return the product back to Amazon, because the pan handle was bent as you screw tighten the pan handle it becomes a little bit distracting of which I am not sure if its a design or manufacturing problem. Also I find the 2 quick release plates that come with it are not metal (looks like hard plastic) and I wouldnt recommend risk mounting any Camera with telephoto lens (e.g Canon 70-200 2.8 IS USM) specially when tilting the quick release plate from horizontal to vertical for long periods. You get what you pay for and I would recommend paying a little bit more to get the quality for your purpose. Also if you want mobility speed for your application e.g wedding photography this is not the tripod for you. Anyway I got my refund back from Amazon after 3 weeks and just purchased a Manfrotto tripod for keeps.

If you are looking for a great, reasonably-priced TALL tripod. this is it. I'm very happy with it and it's got a cool black finish.
