Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak 620-060 Tripod
Customer Review: Good but legs are shaky and Construction is very light duty.
Summary: 3 Stars
Update: 03-2010 Still working fine. When I ruptured my achilles tendon I leaned on this like a cane to help me getup when arranging cloths in the closet. It is very light duty (kinda cheap) but if you are gentle with it is light and works fine.
Taking the unit out of the box I was excited with the features but turned off by the way each leg joint flexes and moves around. It felt really cheap. After using it a few weeks I got used to it. The light weight means I can take it with me because it is so light. My other tripod is also plastic and aluminum, weighs probably 3x as much as this unit and is such a chore that I put it into storage!
PROS:
Light so it is easy to carry. Compact. Good height - not limited to 40 inches like some tripods. You get two heads making switching back and forth easy.
The center lock: I use this tripod to hold auto shop lights when working on my motorcycle. The tripod legs can be in the way. The lock lets you pull the legs in so the tripod is taller but the feet on the three legs is closer together. Then with a turn of the screw they are locked in place! Great feature.
The levels - small handy extra.
CONS:
Very light duty and cheap construction. The quality of the moving / sliding parts could be designed better without adding lots of weight or expense and could still use plastic. But we live in the real world and but what is on the shelf and make the best of it.
Legs shake at each joint where a tube slides out. It feels like it needs to be tightened but there is nothing to tighten. In all the tripods I have ever used this is a first. Although, everything I have ever used weighs more too.
I saw a similar unit (but did not take it out of the box to look it over) for four dollars more at staples. I would have preferred to buy something in a store like that that I can touch and feel and is easy to return but many stores have outrageous prices on total junk tripds - average is around $40!!
It will hold my full sized sony Hi8 camcorder / analog video recorder that practically broke the unit at circuit city. Although, tilt & pan operations won't be very smooth.
Description of Sunpak 620-060 Tripod
With a comfortable working height of 58.3 inches and a minimum operating height of 20.3 inches, the Sunpak 6601UT tripod offers plenty of versatility when setting up for still or video camera shots. The 6601UT is distinguished by such features as a quick-release platform with an integral bubble level for precise leveling, a second circular bubble level at the critical tripod collar for precise alignment, and a precision- geared center column with a 1/4 x 20 accessory mounting stud. It's also a breeze to make individual adjustments thanks to the three-way pan head--complete with reference scales--and the large locking platforms. Other details include metal center leg braces, a tension/load adjustment system, quick-release leg locks with heavy-duty rubber leg tips, and retractable spiked feet for rock-solid stability in uneven terrain. The tripod, which comes with a second quick-release mounting plate for a second camera or camcorder, is coated in a distinctive champagne finish.Camcorder Accessories
