Digital camera reviews of Sunpak 620-092 9002DX Tripod with 3-Way Quick-Release Pan Head
Digital camera Review: Great for p&s and SLR photography
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this tripod in spring of 2004, and it's been with me these four years now through thick and thin on all my adventures (including the 10'000 mile North American road trip over two weeks in mid-December, including driving through all of Yellowstone right after a -40 degree cold spell). I'm 6 feet tall, and I've used it on my film SLRs (light ones like the Ricoh XR7 and heavy ones like the Canon FTb) with decent-sized lenses, and with my point-and-shoots (Canon A620 is probably one of the larger p&s, also an early little Nikon Coolpix) with fabulous results. Just fabulous. I wouldn't want to use it for movies because the panning is not the best for that but this is great bang for the buck for the photography enthusiast (which I'd much rather do than making movies). Comes with two detachable mounting plates (you do own two bodies, right?). Someday I'll upgrade to a Bogen or something and will probably wonder how I lived before, but this is the best $20 I've ever spent on artistic gear.Digital camera Review: Great for price
Summary: 3 Stars
It's sturdy and has a good feel. I've had other tripods in the past that seemed less stable and others that seemed more stable. The leveling bubbles are useless, but I've never had a need for them before. With what I've seen on the market for the competition, this is a good deal.Digital camera Review: Great for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this items a couple times.
You can tell that it is a cheaper tri-pod, but for the money im very happy with it.
If you are someone that simply needs a tripod every now and then, this would work perfect. If you are a professional that uses it every day, you may want to buy something a little nicer.
Although it has work flawlessly thus far, i can see some of the plastic parts on it failing after a while.
Im giving it 5 stars because for the price it works great and is exactly what i needed.
Digital camera 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.Digital camera 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.
