Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sunpak 620-092 9002DX Tripod with 3-Way Quick-Release Pan Head
Customer Review: Seems good enough, but very cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: Not Sturdy Enough
Summary: 2 Stars
My good, but old Bogen tripod was stolen, so I purchased this one in a hurry for an upcoming shoot. The Sunpack has many nice features for the price, and it is VERY light weight. Thus I can pack it around (I bought the case too) all day without a problem. But, it is lightweight because of all the plastic connectors and such.
So despite what the specs say, it just isn't sturdy enough to hold my Nikon D80 DSLR. I should have paid more and gotten a heavier and heavier-duty tripod. I couldn't even get the plastic Quick-Release tightened satisfactorily. However, if you've got just a small lightweight camera, this tripod has great features at a great price!
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this tri-pod for my teenage son. I was a little hesitant, as some reviews tended to depict the product as cheaply made and unstable.
I have to think those reviewers were used to more professional-grade photographic equipment. This project exceeded my and my son's expectations. It's easy to use, seems well-made and well-equipped; it's light and easy to carry. It's everything we wanted and much higher quality than we expected for the price.
This purchase is not being used by professional photographers, so I'm not comparing it to more expensive models made for such use. But for the average photo taker/video maker, it's a great choice!
Customer Review: Great tripod at a better value!
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I got to admit I was a little skeptical about what kind of quality I would get for the price, yet upon arrival and after taking it on a test, the SUNPAK 9002DX really impressed me. The plastic parts that it is buit from do not seem to be the highest quality but it does not look cheap. The aluminu legs are thick and sturdy. One good feature is that its got the hook at the bottom of the middle rod, to hang you camera bag of backpack from. Overall, it is definitely a great buy if you are not a professional photographer and if you are just looking for something that looks and feels well without having to dig deep into your wallet.Customer Review: Sunpak 9002dx

Initially OK, inexpensive, seemed pretty well built for the money. Used for a few hours, then sat for around 6-8 months. When attempting to use again legs started sticking, just plastic and aluminum, disappointing. After some lube and some force two out of three legs worked well the third would still stick. Now the third leg clamp has failed (won't lock) does not look replaceable. Anyway this is with only a few hours on the unit. Anyway I'm moving on, I'll permanently clamp the leg and turn it into a light stand or something, also invested substantially more into a new tripod and head that should last a life time.
