Customer Review: Bad Experience
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this tripod through Amazon and it came a couple days later but when I opened the package I heard some rattling. When I took the tripod out of the plastic bag that it comes in, I noticed a couple of little black plastic pieces and quickly realized that it was from something that had broken inside the tripod. When I pulled the tripod out and extended the legs, one of the three quickly fell to the floor and came right off the tripod body. It appears that the connector that holds the leg on to the body was broken and it looks like it is made out of very cheap plastic. I don't see how this item would have a long lifespan being built with this cheap plastic.
After I realized that the tripod was broken and could not work at all, I called Amazon support to see if they could get another one shipped out quickly. Of course I was connected with Adam from India and he told me that there was no way to do this because they were on backorder until the second week of Feb. (1 month from now); however he told me that I could order it from an Amazon reseller for $15 extra + $20 for shipping if I'd like.
I needed this tripod because I'm leaving the country in a couple of days so I couldn't wait for Amazon to restock it's warehouse. Bad experience with Sunpak and bad experience with Amazon.
Customer Review: SUNPAK 9002DX:
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm disabled and on a very limited income, so before buying this tripod, I looked at numerous reviews, only to find so many conflicting statements, that it was hard to decide, although most of the good reviews seemed to be written by people with more credibility. I also meticulously examined a photograph of the tripod, comparing it to the attributes mentioned in the description, and finally decided that it was unquestionably a good buy. When I received the tripod today, which I purchased from Amazon.com, LLC, I was not in the least disappointed. The fit and finish was very good, all adjusting functions were smooth, and the quick release worked flawlessly. This tripod is well worth the price offered by Amazon. Michael J.
Customer Review: Can Amazon please lern how to ship things?
Summary: 4 Stars
Amazon had to ship a replacement tripod to me due to it being damaged the first time. Both packages were packed very poorly and I am surprised the second tripod works properly.
Once I was able to get past that, this tripod is what I expected. The quick-release heads are very useful if you have more than one camera. This tripod has bubble leveling on the tripod body, as well as on the heads. I would recommend this product to a casual photographer who is looking to stabilize their camera in almost any situation.
Customer Review: Solid product
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been looking for a tripod for quite some time. I went to the store to see the real thing, but was disappointed at how small the cheap ones are (and of course, the bigger ones are very expensive). Then I found this one on Amazon, which I think might be a discontinued item because it's not on Sunpak web site. I'm very pleased with this product. It's well-made, very sturdy and more than enough for an average user like me. I use this when recording my baby's daily activity and it's definitely doing its job well. With what I paid for on Amazon, it's worth every penny. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Great value for light-medium duty use.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't expecting much from a $30 tripod, but I'm happy with the 9002DX. I'm using it mostly for stargazing with my Celestron 15x70 binoculars, and it works well. I've also used it to take some nighttime pictures. The tripod is lightweight, and fairly sturdy. It seems pretty well built for the price. It is rated as 'medium duty', and I agree with that. If you need something for 'heavy-duty' work, then look at something better. For the price, it would be tough to find a better tripod. Just don't expect $100 performance from it.
