Product Information

The main time you would need something fancier is for video when you need smooth panning and tilting (in which case you would want a fluid head tripod).

The Hama Star 61 is a lightweight, sturdy aluminium tripod with a maximum height of 153cm, a max load of 3000g and a minimum height of 60cm. But since I am a starter I should try to use the simpler ones first and then move on to expensive ones. Likewise, any statutory rights you have to a warranty free of charge from us remain unaffected by this warranty promise. The Hama Star 61 features a quick release plate with ¼" thread to allow quick removal of your camera and an integrated spirit level for making sure your landscapes are level with the horizon. Just don't try to force things, try to figure the different functions and rotation axis and how the different knobs, levers and crank handle, pan handle relate to the movement.It's not going to take much movement around it (be it air or vibrations) to result in blur, especially when doing night shots. At 300mm, it's hard to manually focus on the moon at night (or anything else, for that matter), since touching the lens causes the live view to shake so badly that I can't tell whether it's in focus or not. I have achieved perfect panaromic shots with the pan handle, the different degrees of tilting, keep the camera on a portrait mode, with swivel function.

The tripod is equipped with a fully adjustable centre column which can be easily altered by using the crank. If you encounter resistance, try to find the screw that unlocks the resistance, rather than forcing things. That's why many heads for DSLRs are rated 10-15 or more pounds -- it's not that the camera weighs that much, it's that the balance shifts the weight so much.Sooner or later you ll need to take pictures using a long shutter speed, or when using a long zoom lens and, unless you support the camera, then the image will be less than sharp. Not only does it have beautiful, sleek, silver triangular lines, but it's got the requisite number of knobs and joints to make it look imposing and alien.
