Anybody know the difference between this tripod and the "sunpak 620-080"?

There is not much difference between the two but a mere $8.00. In both, the head swivels and there are levelers that will make your settings straight (up/down/sideways/etc). The only difference I can guess is the material's thickness. My previous tripod was a Precision Design 58 much stronger legs, but the head broke. There are not available anymore, I wonder why. If you have the extra $8.00 you might consider buying it but for less you would not notice the difference. As with any tripod, I would never leave my camara unattended unless am taking self pictures and then I would be carefull. Hope this answer your question.

I had both, and they both had the same defect in the locking handles that were suppose to hold the legs extended, they will break, collapse, and damage you or your camera (exploding plastic handles).

I believe the 6" uses the same tripod as my 8" and this bag did not fit. The length is fine, but the bag will not zip closed.

This is intended for consumer/pro-sumer tripods - it won't be sufficient for large professional tripods. I use it with a Sunpak 757 and it works great for the price.

Don't have tripod with me now. But according to manual (http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-39436527843437/PH157QManual.pdf), it's UNC 1/4".

I am using the Vivitar version of this and as far as I can see, there is no difference other than the price. I have not only mounted this on a tripod, but also a monopod.

Yes.... it has a universal bottom plate so it can be screwed onto other Sunpak tripods.

This particular model has aluminum legs... the more expensive one have carbon fiber. It does not make much different. It is a very good tripod!

mine is marked 66OI UT, both on the tripod and on the box. All I can say is that it works really well for my needs.

Yeah, its a standard 3/8" 16 thread count tripod used around the world. Just thread it on.

Nothing. They are the same. The Pro plate is red, feels solid and the Capture is available with the Dual or the Arca plate. I have the capture pro with both plates as I have a Monfrotto and Arca type tripods. I love it!

Iretired a long time ago. I bought the tripod and gave to my son along w/ a engineers level. so I don't have it a hand. suggest the the questioner contact Allied Precision Instrument and they could measure it.

Looks like it could be this one. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-701HDV-055XV-Includes-Aluminum/dp/B001F0RNHW/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1384524600&sr=8-14&keywords=manfrotto+tripod+and+701

Not sure exactly what you mean. The tripod is strudy, well built and does not flop down. Good resistance when you rock back or forwardard

Sorry I didn't read this question sooner, it fit both tripods that I have. It's pretty generic, however, the small screw fell off but the plate is still usable. Hope this helps.

The difference is in the type of Plate that comes with Capture. The two types of plates are compatible with different tripods. You can learn more about them here: http://support.peakdesignltd.com/hc/en-us/articles/201291333-What-kinds-of-tripods-does-Capture-work-with-

Absolutely. The Sunpak 620-080 has multiple adjustments and shooting positions including vertically up or straight down.

By the way there is an old saying. If the camera cost 100 dolllars don't trust any tripod to do the job. Those flimsy plastic jobs aren't worth a hill of beans. You might take a look lat this one Ravelli APGL4 New Professional 70" Tripod with Adjustable Pistol Grip Head and Heavy Duty Carry BagI bought this one.
