Comments about Sunpak Sunpak PRO 423PX2 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Pistol Grip QR Ball Head, Maximum Height: 65", Load Capacity: 11 lbs.:

The description said the legs are adjustable to 3 angles, but I did not find it to be accurate, at least not in the particular unit that I got. One of the head levers was cracked, and was made of a very weak type of plastic, as are other parts of the tripod. Don't waste your money on this.

The Sunpak PRO 423PX2 is surprisingly lightweight and stable, although it tends to get a bit wobbly when fully extended. It is great for most situations, easy to transport, unfolds and folds up nicely, and is a great addition to my inventory. Definitely worth the money. I particularly like the pistol grip.[...]
