Product Description
Sturdy, rugged and reliable FieldMaster and FieldMaster LE tripods extend to a maximum working height of 58", and a minimum operating height of 11". These high-quality tripods feature a quick-release platform with a built-in bubble level for precise leveling, and can support up to 8.8 lbs (with included Universal Pan-Head; 4.4 lbs with included Universal Ball-Head).Individual leg angle adjustments, separate leg extensions with quick twist leg locks on each tripod leg and retractable leg spikes enable you to set up your equipment at a comfortable height on even or uneven terrain, with the utmost stability. FieldMaster and FieldMaster LE tripods are equipped with a two-section "split" center column for ultra-low angle use, and a removable metal accessory hanger at the bottom of the center column permits you to suspend a stabilizing weight, helping to reduce any unnecessary camera/tripod movement.

1 out of 5 stars broken new tripods suck   May 4, 2008
Sandy R. Pavel (California)
My new tripod arrived already malfunctioning. After reading that it would cost almost as much to send it back as to buy it. I got busy with lock-tight and epoxy. It is barely functioning now, but shipping costs make it impractical to send back. I will try to find a different one when this one fails in a couple of weeks.


1 out of 5 stars Horrible   February 27, 2008
Raymond Bowen (Keller, TX)
I ordered this tripod with great excitement because of the ball head and cheap price. The intent was for my wife to use it for her Rebel XT with 430ex flash and battery extender. We were disappointed with the quality the moment we opened the box. The thing is very flimsy (much worse than Sunpak's base cheap $20 tripod). Not only that but it's also very confusing to even setup. This thing was just designed poorly. If you need a cheap tripod then look to Sunpak's other (even cheaper) options. Stay clear from this one.


3 out of 5 stars flimsy   June 9, 2007
Paul Tornaey (Tulsa, OK)
This product worked ok for me because it came with two heads, the ball head is sturdy and made of metal and i used it to replace a broken head on my previous tripod which makes a good sturdy combination. However, the rest of the product is quite unstable and the leveling function is way off the mark, so I basically paid the entire price for the extra head, because the rest of it is pretty much junk.


2 out of 5 stars Trying to do too many things, none of them well.   May 24, 2007
Mr. Boywonder (Redwood City, CA)
I was disappointed with this tripod, and it's been the only purchase I've ever returned to Amazon. The materials used for the legs are too fragile, and the whole tripod feels very wobbly with the legs extended.

I got this tripod because I wanted to give a ball head a try, but this product suffers from trying to do too many things and as a result does none of them well. I also have a Sunpak6100 travel tripod that feels much more sturdy than this and is significantly cheaper in price.

If you want to try a ball head tripod without moving into the Bogen/Manfrotto range, I would recommend spending another $20 and trying one of the Slik Sprint tripods, which feel much sturdier and more professional.



1 out of 5 stars not worth it, even if you think it's a bargain   March 10, 2007
princess of power (NY)
i bought this tripod because i thought the price was right and it had the features i was looking for. when it arrived, i was not only unhappy with the quality and flimsiness, but the screw to mount the camera immediately fell into the body of the tripod to be lost and gone forever.. so i returned this tripod and will continue to search until i find one worth buying that i know will last longer than five minutes out of the box.
