Nice tripod for the price. It was purchased for a DX camara.

Very nice tripod that is a good value for the money. It has good features, the legs are metal but most all other hardware is plastic [lightweight]. It comes with a carry case and sling and a Lifetime Warranty so if it does break you can get it repaired BUT you have to pay return shipping plus $10 so you could probably just by another new one. I think it's fine for someone like me who is only a casual hobby photographer. I'd opt for something else if it were something I'd be using very often.

While the aluminum parts of this tripod are sturdy (the legs and center column) the plastic parts (everything else!) are suspect. I used this tripod for all of two night time sessions and the tilt adjustment knob easily got stripped, effectively ruining the unit. So for the price it's fairly sturdy, but beware that you need to be gentle with this thing! It even held up well taking 30 second exposures in a stiff 15-20 mph wind.

I was looking for a light tripod that was (frankly) cheap...this fills the bill very effectively...for the price (under $ including shipping) I am amazed at the quality...while I'm sure it wouldn't compare to a $ tripod, I think it is fine for my purposes...and, as usual, Adorama's shipping was extremely fast...ordered one day, received it the next!

For the price you can't get a better tripod. Very good construction and light.

This tripod is the perfect size to walk around with, and the carrying bag makes carrying it around the city a breeze. However, the construction is rather lackluster. The lever that controls the pitch and locks it in place stripped and now it no longer locks. I'd love to give this product a glowing review as it's far better than my old tripod. But it's just not well put together.

I was looking for a affordable tripod that i could use everyday and not be worried about damaging in outdoor use. This was perfect for that. It's a nice stable tripod and I honestly think it does a well enough job as the more expensive ones. But i do wish it was a little taller but hey for the price can't complain.

I am a bit different as I use the tripod to hold my paint box. It is light small and does the job. What else could one ask.

Plan to use it when hiking and the weight and size will be a real plus since I always have a dog with me also.

Good value.
With their unique styling and distinctive champagne finish, the full-featured UT Series tripods are equipped with a variety of exciting features. These include; 3-way pan heads with reference scales, large locking panhandles, quick release platforms, metal center leg braces, tension/load adjustment,quick release leg locks and heavy-duty rubber leg tips, some with leg spikes, for fast setups and rock solid stability. Additionally, every Sunpak UT Series tripod carries an exclusive Lifetime Warranty, and each includes a free 2nd quick-release mounting plate for another camera/camcorder!
The Sunpak 2001UT tripod is both lightweight and compact, the 2001UT is an excellent travel tripod. Designed for use with compact still or digital cameras or camcorders, the 2001UT tripod offers a 3-way pan head with tilt reference scale with and separate locking controls, and features a quick-release mounting plate with retractable video indexing pin. With a folded length of only 19.7", the 2001UT extends to 49", yet weighs a mere 37 ounces with its solid 22mm leg diameter. Added stability from metal center leg braces with separate locking knob assures rigid support, while heavy-duty rubber leg tips keep the 2001UT tripod in place at all times. And quick release leg locks make tripod setup fast and easy, even while wearing gloves. The gearless "Lift n Lock" center column, with its large, ribbed locking collar, permits fast height adjustments, while a separate tension/load control can be set for cameras weighing as much as 4 lbs. 6 oz.
