Manufacturer's Description
Keep Your Feet Firmly on the Ground
Become snap happy with this versatile and ultra portable Star 61 tripod from Hama. Suitable for both video and camera shooting, its aluminium legs with rubber grip allows it to maintain a sturdy grip on the ground whilst you create professional and high quality images. There is also an additional hook for weighing it down in strong winds to ensure it remains in place.
The centre column height can continuously be adjusted (max of 158cm) with ease by using a simple crank, and then locked into place in order to achieve the perfect camera height. This combined with the smooth panning 3-way tripod head means that images and film can be captured from a variety of different angles in order to achieve the best perspective.
Smooth panning of the tripod head also helps prevent jerky videos and allows the creation of a smooth and professional film. A great piece of kit for the money, and it even comes with its own carrying case which it folds neatly into so that it can easily and safely be transported around wherever you go and there will never be a moment in which you are unable to capture that special image.

Given the price, this little bit of kit has easily surpassed my low expectations.
Whilst I wouldnt describe the build as rugged it is well constructed (albeit plastic componentry with aluminium legs) and peforms superbly with my Canon 350D.
I'd highly recommend this for any enthusiastic amateur on a budget.

The low price does make you wonder if the quality of the unit is going to be ok - but I am delighted with the Star 61 tripod. I am using it with my Nikon D50 digital SLR for close ups, zooms and landscapes although I think I may invest in a remote control to avoid touching the camera at all!! The tripod even has a hook for weighing it down in winds.
I noticed another reviewer saying it doesn't pan smoothly for camcorders - it does - you use the top joint not the middle joint which is only meant to secure the ratchet.

I got this tripod to go with a new digital camera that I got at christmas. I bought it with the intention that it was cheap enough that if I found it useful I would buy a better one, but having used it, why bother with a more expensive one? The only problem I had with it was that there wasn't any instructions with it (yes, I know you're saying it's just a tripod, how complicated can it be?) but it does have quite a few features that aren't immediately obvious to the new photographer. The camera mount can be removed with a lever to aid screwing it to the camera body. It has a couple of spirit levels built in and the camera can be rotated and locked in every direction (it even has the option of locking the camera in the portrait position rather than the usual landscape format). It also comes with its own black canvas carrying case(bag). A fantastic piece of kit for the money, especially for those starting out.

I bought this as i needed to use it for shots that did not involve me touching the camera, and to keep it still. I like how there is a couple of spirit levels. Read more

I have on of these myself and bought on for my son. Lets face it, I am a reasonably keen amateur photographer and do not have the need of something that weighs a ton. Read more
