Review on πŸ“· Sunpak Platinum Plus 5858D Photo/Video Tripod - Perfect for Capturing Memorable Moments in Black! by Nancy Ruesink

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable, lightweight camera tripod

Although I have not used it in the field with a camera and have not fully tested its functionality, I appreciated it in terms of features and ease of use. . It has plastic construction and features working leg buckles. Three feet attach to the middle leg holding the camera, and a quick twist locks the legs in place. There are also two handy bubble levels, one on top of one leg and one on the edge of the camera plate. This is a handy way to assess the vertical and horizontal balance of the camera and tripod. This is definitely better than carrying around separate bubble levels like in the construction industry, and even the smallest ones are quite large compared to the controls. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because of the plastic. The user should be aware of this property and be wary of heavy use and light weight of the device, especially if the camera is heavy or has a telephoto lens, which may cause an imbalance that the plastic cannot balance by its own weight. .

Pros
  • Tripods and monopods
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
