Review Summary

The tripod is quite stable (I do not know about windy conditions). The vertical tilt handle comes screwed into the base of the pan and tilt handle. You cannot keep the vertical tilt from accidentally falling onto its 90 degree axis if you do not have the tilt handle screwed in. If you leave the tilt handle in you cannot put the tripod into a carrying case. If you take the tilt handle out, you lose quick set up. The quick release plate has a D-ring which makes for quickly attaching your camera to the plate. Because the center post is not two-piece, when adjusting the tripod for low level shooting, you may not be able to get as low as you would like to. On this particular tripod one of the lower legs (the leg with the Sunpak name) will not extend without applying a lot of muscle to pull it down. On occasion you have to check the tripod to make sure that the angle adjustment latch has not come loose. For the safety of your camera the documentation warns that you should not carry the tripod, with camera attached, cradled in your arm.

I have used this tripod for many things: from sunsets at the beach to moonrises in the mountains. It certainly does the job for me without the high cost.

The Sunpak 3300 PRO tripod, with its unique styling, offers the versatile capability both professionals and serious enthusiasts demand. As with all Sunpak Tripods, the 3300 PRO Tripod carries Sunpak's exclusive Lifetime Warranty and includes a 2nd quick release plate, free!
The Sunpak 3300 PRO tripod sets a high standard for all other lightweight tripods to match, in both performance and style. Manufactured from Tritanium, an alloy of Titanium, Magnesium and Aluminum substantially increases the overall strength-to-weight performance of the 3300 PRO. Able to support equipment weighing up to 11 lbs., the 3300 PRO is incredibly lightweight, at a mere 3 lbs. 4oz., while its dual groove leg design adds additional strength without adding any extra weight.
To meet the requirements of discerning photographers, the Sunpak 3300 PRO tripod provides a host of impressive features. With an operating height of 64.4", the Sunpak 3300 PRO tripod has three leg sections, with integral quick release lock levers, and features multi-angle leg adjust-ments for use on uneven terrain or for extreme low angle photography. With "grounder" capability, the Sunpak 3300 PRO can operate at a minimum height less than 23", without need for a short center col-umn, and folds to a compact 23.9". Other features include a 3-way pan head with quick-release mounting plate; and a reversible center column, with lock-ing height controls and tension load adjustment. Providing a true alternative to carbon fiber tripods- in all but price, the Sunpak 3300 PRO is designed for use with conventional 35mm and medium format camera systems, video and digi-tal imaging equipment.
