 Great for quick adjustmentsSep 20, 2009
By Robin
I was looking for a pistol grip head, but many of them run about $200-$400 range. This little beauty fits my budget and I love it. I used to go nuts trying to get my tripod adjusted during nature outings and miss the shot. This pistol grip adjustment is very natural and quick. I use it with a Canon Rebel Xti and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM and a lightweight Bogen tripod. So far I have nothing negative to say about it. Great product. Fantastic value. Sturdy with smooth adjustments.

Best camera positioning device yet inventedJan 23, 2008
By Daniel Jones
Who makes it? Sunpak or Slick? Who cares? (If I remember correctly, my old slick branded Pistol Grip Ballsocket Head was bigger). This is still the best way to quickly and firmly hold a camera on a tripod. Still or video.
A 3 way head is OK for shooting a flower that you don't expect to suddenly get up and run across the room. But when a subject is active this Pistol Grip Ballsocket Head with Quick-Release Plate allows you to quickly reposition the camera, re-lock, and shoot with the steadiness you use a tripod for in the first place.
The Quick-Release Plate and Bubble Level are nice to have, but it's the Pistol Grip you will appreciate most.

So simple and no fussAug 19, 2009
By Helen Hilman

Bought this item looking for something that I didn't have to mess around with for 5 minutes to get my postion just right. With this Pistol Grip you just squeeze, position and release. It stays where you let go of the grip. It also has a level on it if that is an issue in your shoot. It is perfect for my every day outings. Definately would recommend this product. A must have for sure.

Simply a great toolMay 21, 2010
By Matthew A. Hitchcock

I use my Sunpak Pistol Grip with my tripod as well as my mono-pod and find it to be ideal for my uses. Adjusting the camera takes only seconds compared with the time it takes to adjust a traditional swivel head. All I have to do is squeeze the handle and when the camera is in place release it. It holds the camera, even my larger cameras, very still with no drifting or wandering. I have had tripods in the past that were almost impossible to adjust with any accuracy. Often the act of tightening the head would cause it to move and some heads had a tendency to "store energy" and adjust themselves a few seconds after I had everything tightened down. This Pistol grip keeps my camera in place without any problems.
The Ballsocket Head is a little on the bulky side but it is so well built I can't complain. I suspect that it's heft is what keeps the camera under control. I had the Pistol Grip head on my mono-pod during a day of hiking up and down steep walls of a gorge with no problem. If anything the weight of the head helped balance the mono-pod.
The quick release place works simply yet locks into place so well I never worry about my camera falling off. Just be certain that the plate is properly aligned then locked into place and you can forget about it. The entire things is very well built. I highly recommend it.

Best One For Price, Better Than OptekaAug 31, 2011
By J. LEE
I actually ordered this Sunpak grip as well as the Opteka. The Opteka one does not attach firmly to the grip, it has some slight play or movement. Not with this Sunpak. If you're deciding between the two, this one is the winner. Other than how well the camera base attaches, both are pretty much the same quality, but that single issue is huge.
