Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
This magnesium alloy, 4-section tripod offers the versatility of a photo and video tripod in one easy-to-use lightweight model, making it ideal for photographers using a standard DSLR or camcorder.
The 3-way fluid-damped pan head allows smooth panning when moving from one subject to another and the user also has the flexibility to position the camera both vertically and horizontally.
Two built-in spirit levels also ensure good stability on uneven ground.
Product Description
The Hahnel Triad 60 Lite tripod is unsurprisingly a larger version of the Triad 30 lite. Constructed from a combination of aluminium and magnesium alloys, it can support devices upto 5kg with ease.
With a maximum height of 162cm, folding down to just 61.5cm, and weighing just 1.9kg, the Hahnel Triad 60 Lite is an incredibly compact and versatile tripod.
The included fluid-damped head is very well constructed, allowing smooth and controlled panning, while also offering the flexibility of positioning the camera either horizontally or vertically. Supplied with a quick-release plate - with extra quick-release plates also available seperately. The head is attached using a 3/8 thread, meaning it can be unscrewed from the legs - something not possible with most tripod/head combinations in this price range - which means you can use other heads on these legs, or this head with other legs if you desire.
The 4-section legs are independently adjustable for both height and angle, and the centre column is reversible for low-angle work - both features usually reserved for more expensive tripods. Also featuring easy-to-use flip-lock lags and two integrated spirit levels, this is a quality tripod.
Supplied complete with carry case.

Let me begin by saying I've never owned a top of the range tripod which costs over £100 so can't directly compare this tripod with those sort of tripods. If I made a living out of photography or was going to be using a tripod day in, day out in rough terrain then I'd probably invest in one of those high-end models.
For me, this tripod has proved to be good value for money. It's a definite step up from the cheap "budget" tripods that are out there. It's well constructed and feels very sturdy. It's quick to set up and the fluid-damped pan head allows for very smooth panning shots. It's taken the weight of my Nikon D90 & flash gun without any problems. I'd say once it's fully extended, the viewfinder on my camera and camcorder is at an approximate height of 6ft. I'm 5ft 9 so it's more than enough for me. It's mainly all constructed from aluminium but the locking clips on the tripod legs are plastic. However unlike some other reviewers, I don't see this as a problem. They're well made, not flimsy and unless you're the sort of person who applies brute force to the simple action of unlocking/locking the clips, I can't see why they should fall apart. It also comes with it's own carrying case, which has an adjustable shoulder strap. The only minor criticism I have of it, is that it seems to have picked up scuff marks mainly on the tripod legs but these are only noticeable if you look at it close up.
I class myself as an amateur who dabbles in photography. So far I've used this tripod for portraits and once for landscapes. I can see mine lasting for years to come, which isn't bad considering the price. I would say it's heavier than the expensive carbon fibre tripods, so it may not be the right one for you if you're going to be carrying it about over extended periods of time.
For anyone else, who's looking for a quality tripod on a budget, which is only going to be used occasionally, I don't think you'll go wrong with this one.

This review should probably be taken with the knowledge that I am not an expeienced photographer and apart from my Gorillapod this is the first tripod I have owned.It should also be noted that I'm not using a DSLR but a lighter Bridge camera so I can't comment on the tripods abilities with one of those attached.
Saying that I do think for the price its good quality especially for the likes of me, someone who puts it in the boot of the car every now and then for a days pic hunting. I have used this tripod in light-medium winds and it has worked very well allowing good stable pictures to be taken. I also used it recently to take some shots of the moon with the camera on a high elevation and again it coped well. The controls all seem fluid and hold the camera in the position you set it although my one minor gripe is that when tightening the grip controller the final tightening turn sometimes moves the camera slightly off the imagine.
I read on a review for another tripod in this series where one of the reviewers complained about the plastic locks on the legs, well yes they are not ideal but I think if you look after the tripod and don't abuse it I can't see this being a problem.
All in all this tripod has done everything I have asked of it and not let me down. In fact just for fun I attched my camera to the locking plate and put it on the sofa and then timed myself setting the tripod up so all the leg sctions were out, some 40 secnds later I had attached my camera and was taking my first picture.

Brilliant as a stable light weight mobile easy to use platform for my requirements. Easy adjustment of the legs and 3 way pan head for levelling and stability, not to forget the quick release. I use this in the north east of Scotland at the moment, and the easy fast adjustment of the legs in most terrain is in valuable if you catch a strong gust of wind. Important and great quality for the enthusiast.
Good kit, compliments my Land Rover perfectly.
Not even noticed when strapped to a day or rucksack, quality zipped cover too, what more can I say!

This tripod was bought for the Nikon ED50 spotting scope. With a trip to Lesvos on the cards, I needed a tripod that would be compact, light and sturdy. Read more

I like it
On the whole this is a good and sturdy tripod and it does its job very nicely. It'a a bit on the heavy side (1.9kg) to carry it around. It comes with a shoulder carrying case.

FRUSTRATING
I bought this on the strength of the reviews it has. It arrived on time and it looks great at first sight. It is sturdy, tall and with nice features (theoretically). Read more

Awsome
Such a good tripod, does everything I want it to do and more, such as the legs can go into 3 different places so you can have you camera upside down. Read more
