Comments about Sunpak Carbon Fiber Tripod Pro 523P:

This is a great deal for a carbon fiber tripod, compare it to the more expesive tripods that you still need to buy a head for and you have a winner. It may not be the very best but it sure is an awesome deal. The included head is metal and holds my D200 quite steadily, and was definitely a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommended if you are using a similar camera, do no go too cheap or you will end up buying another... or worse breaking the much more expensive equipment attached to it!

Comments about Sunpak Carbon Fiber Tripod Pro 523P:

I just picked this up after looking at some of the Manfrotto Tripods, which are great products, but the Sunpak 523P was about [$] cheaper and for Carbon Fiber!!! It is much lighter than the Manfrotto model I was looking at. It is similar to Velben's Carbon Fiber line, and is around[$] cheaper. I was so glad to get into a pro tri-pod for under $200.

Comments about Sunpak Carbon Fiber Tripod Pro 523P:

Its a light weight tripod to carry , with smooth adjustments .The legs fan out for a low camera angle ( like the high end rigs ). Rubber covered leg adjustment barrels feel great on cold days with neoprene foam on all three legs above .

It has good hardware and the 3 way standard two handle cheesy pan head is not shown in the ad photo -with a quick release base & plate can use the RS or Arc Swiss plates. It has the 3/8s stud to install your own ball-head without the 1/4 -20 adapter.


This is a great value- carbon fiber legs - strong construction - 7-8 on value & quality - comes with a bag case .

The only thing that looked like a possible issue would be with the legs fanned out for a low height and with the legs at full extension the bottom piece would bow a bit with a heavy camera on it .As the leg diameters are thin ,, top .864 - mid .745 - bottom .638 . If used with only 2 sections extended it was perfect.

At 4.1 pounds it cant be built like a tank ,excellent carbon fiber spiral grain /cloth pattern .
