Product Description
The Sunpak 5800D Tripod is is a great economical tripod for lighter loads. It features a fluid-effect 3-way head that can tilt and pan smoothly, and also includes a built-in quick release system. Oversized, single action leg-locks make it fast to setup, and the geared control for the center column provides a secure way for raising and lowering of camera gear. It will comfortably hold most light SLR or camcorder equipment.

As a novice digital photographer and video maker this has been a terrific item for me. It fits my Nikon Coolpix and Flip Mino HD camcorder perfectly. I have shaky hands and when I go out to take pix of Oregon’s beautiful scenery this is what I use. It pans very well and is easy to set up and use. In addition it is lightweight and comes with a shoulder strap travel bag. If you need a tripod this is the one to buy.

I have to buy lots of video equipment for my work and the tripods have always been a point of irritation for me. I kept having to replace the tripods because they kept breaking, even really expensive ones. After trying this one, I will never get anything else; it takes the cake by far. Basically, it’s sustainable – the plastic hinges and the pivoting head won’t break off easily even with tough treatment. It’s light too! You won’t find a better tripod for this price. Save yourself the trouble and just go with this one.

I did a lot of research to find an affordable and well balanced tripod for my Nikon D3000. This particular tripod has everything that I wanted in a tripod. It’s tall, well balanced, easy to pan and tilt, and it comes with a tripod bag and a second quick-release head. When fully extended, it doesn’t seem to wiggle as much.
Pros:
-Lightweight
-Nice Aluminum/platinum color.
-Well built/balanced
-Retractable spike tip
-2x quick-release heads
-doesn’t feel cheap.
-has a good load capacity
-better value than other expensive tripods
Cons:
-N/A

This tripod was awesome! My cam’s not very heavy I have a nikon D60 so this tripod worked great, was very easy to get used to! I didn’t have to read the manual for anything. It’s a little hard to figure out which way to turn things to get it back in it’s case but this tripod rocks!

I rarely use tripods, but I needed something to throw in the trunk just in case. I was really impressed with this unit. Lightweight and well constructed for the price and it comes with a carry case and extra camera plate. This is not a Manfrotto by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets the job done. I have used it for several long night exposures (+60 seconds)and have not had a bad shot from tripod shake. I did sandbag it once for a very windy night shot on an exposed hill and those shots came out perfect.
Bang for the Buck – Buy it! You’ll not regret it. I bought two, one for each car.
