The review is actually about the case, not the tripod. The tripod was affordable and compact, which was what I was looking for. I plan to use it for long exposure night shots while backpacking in Tokyo. from Bhphotovideo.com This is a good, well-finished light, easily portable tripod that comes in handy for use with a smaller camera. I also own a Sunpak Mini-PRO plus tabletop tripod and a large Sunpak 8001UT tripod. I use all three but if I had to settle for one for general use it would be this one. from Amazon.com There were other requirements: It had to be black (night operations), light (it was packed in), small (the pack was crowded) and hopefully, inexpensive. In a word, it was all or these things. On the downside, the Sunpak's 43 1/2" max height could well be a little short for the standing user. But for a static, sitting operator or for use as a mini table stand, the divice is perfect. from Amazon.com Although this tripod is limited in its functionality, it is extremely lightweight (1.6 lbs) and folds down to about 14 inches which is what I was looking for. It also holds up to 3.3 lbs and seems to be built relative well for its size. I originally looked at the ultra compact tripods which have the telescoping legs (like an antenna). Although they are smaller and lighter, they don't hold has much weight and the legs look like they will eventually break after limited usage. from Amazon.com For the price at Amazon it's a great buy! The build and design is extremely good considering it's under $20. This is a COMPACT tripod as another reviewer has noted, and is for light weight cameras/spotting scopes only. For most of us a 2-way pan head is fine - I wouldn't buy this as my one-and-only tripod, it's for when you want a tripod that's light weight and doesn't take up space yet is still reasonably steady if you don't overload it. from Amazon.com The Compact SXL is designed as exactly that- a COMPACT tripod. Sunpak has many larger models, but this one is intended to be compact & portable. from Amazon.com i use it for backpacking and dayhikes. from Amazon.com landscape shots, which is what i will be taking. from Bhphotovideo.com while backpacking in tokyo. from Bhphotovideo.com pros: small, light weight, inexpensive from Shopping.com
