Comments about Sunpak 7001DX Tripod:
Sunpak claims this tripod has a "fluid effect" pan head. Perhaps mine was an exception, but the pan jerked and resisted on the X axis -- left-right, although it performed ok on the Y axis --up and down. Over all, the panning simply doesn't feel right. Its best plus is a right-side handle -- probably the cheapest right handle currently available. Cranking is satisfactory. But if you cannot pan with a tripod smoothly, nearly everything else is irrelevant.
I bought this tripod to do fast, light location work with a camcorder. It was relatively inexpensive and seemed appropriate for quick action. Had Sunpak lived up to its promise of fluidity, it would have been an ideal choice. Guess cheap really is expensive in the long run. Jerky pans ruined a valuable night's work shooting a busy restaurant.

Comments about Sunpak 7001DX Tripod:
Use it with Panasonic PV-GS500's...too light in a wind...weight hook breaks if put heavy weight to keep steady...
Tilt is pretty smooth for friction head....pan leaves a lot to be desired...
We'll see how it stands up to a year of student use!
