Review on πŸ“Έ Sunpak SPK620786 5-Inch Flex Leg Mini-Spider Tripod: Versatile and Compact Support System for Photography by Duane Kerr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing risked, nothing gained - or lost.

I won't lie and say that the choice between Sunpak and another tripod from Revain that costs two thousand dollars (actually $1874.90 - Gitzo tripod video tripod) was difficult. ). Thing is, I just bought it because of the price. For a dollar and a half, I'm 4 cents short of a box of Good 'n Plenty liquorice. And if you think about it, candy has nothing to do with extensive use of this tiny contraption. If you've flip, you've seen more tremors than video. Solution: tripod, the most reliable basis of all geometric shapes. If you've got a Canon Elf, the auto-stabilization features don't need any extra help, but any attempt by the photographer to include themselves in the image is certainly required. When you have a personal audio recorder like the Zoom H2, don't expect a silent recording when you hold or place a recording device on a table that transmits every vibration to the device's sensitive microphones. The tripod works great in all three cases. Just one caveat: This item was so small that I left it in the mailbox overnight because I couldn't see it. I expect it will last longer than a box of Good 'n Plenty's, but not as long as a Papermate pen (about two weeks). In any case, a small price for a small loss. The disposable tripod is here!

Pros
  • Tripod suitable for compact 35mm and digital cameras
Cons
  • Not bad but...
