Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Sunpak 9002DX is an economical full-size tripod that's ideal for still and video cameras of all stripes. The tripod is distinguished by such features as an oversized leg diameter of 1 inch, which handles any 35mm camera with up to a medium telephoto lens; an ultra-smooth, three-way pan with reference marks; and a quick-release plate with a bubble level for added leveling precision. It's also notably stable thanks to the oversized single-action locks, rubber leg tips, and retractable spiked feet. And as with most Sunpak tripods, the 9002DX comes with a second quick-release mounting plate with its own bubble level for a second camera. Other details include a maximum height of 64.6 inches, a tension-controlled, rapid-sliding center column, an accessory hook beneath the platform, and a folding carrying handle. The tripod, which measures 24.3 inches when collapsed and supports up to 6.6 pounds, is coated in a distinctive champagne finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic tripod that has excellent height., June 22, 2007

By	Arun "Techie" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

The tripod has excellent maximum height when fully extended. The weight anchor provides more than ample support on a windy day - use your own judgement if the winds really pick up. The build quality is above average. It may not be suited for the Professional but is more than sufficient for the casual user. There is a handle to carry the tripod when the unit is fully collapsed. A good buy - don't be fooled by the low price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy tripod, right height and lightweight, September 12, 2007

By	Z. Zhang "michael_chuang_21" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tripod replaces a lightweight slik tripod that became loose after seven years of service. This one is study, higher, and weighs just a little bit more. I am using it with Canon 30D, and the support is definitely sufficient.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seems good enough, but very cheap, November 4, 2007

When I saw this item on Amazon, I was pretty excited. A decent tripod for little money. But don't be fooled. This is a cheap tripod. Granted, it has some decent features and it's functional, but it's fairly flimsy and it the motions are very poor. I've tried using it with my camcorder to get some decent pan shots and it's very difficult -- the tripod has enough flex in it that any pressure I put on it moves the camera, and the motion of the head is very unpredictable. If you're just planning on setting a camera on something and occasionally moving it between scenes, it's probably fine. But if you intend to use it as a platform for basic movie-making, it's a very poor choice.
