About this deal

I extend the first extension parts of the three part legs, but not the second ones, because the 2nd extension legs are so thin that trade-off between height and wobblyness is not good, and this means I won't be able to stand behind my camera, which I knew beforehand and brought a garden chair to sit on. it has a normal screw, capabe of holding nearly any camera, however, the top bit has alot of screws and fixtures that i dont really know the reason for. The legs are decent, I think, but the head is so wobbly that it's hard to focus a 300mm on the moon, and a 2 seconds delay isn't nearly enough for the shaking do die down.

How effective is HAMA STAR 61 tripod for shooting with Nikon

When I was a kid I had to read this book for school about these weird 3-legged aliens and I loved the book so I have this weird appreciation for the aesthetic beauty of the tripod. And there's this hook where you can hang something heavy for stabilization if you're somewhere windy. This is the model for those who want all the features of the Star 75 but with braced leg that gives greater stability. At 105mm, I had to zoom a bit wider than the picture I had in mind, since the adjustments aren't very precise and the head sags when you let it go.A fluid head tripod is a much more heavy duty (and more expensive) tripod head that uses glide plates to have variable and constant resistance to motion. 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.

I was shooting in night when I realized that through manual settings when you increase your shutter speed the images becomes blurred due to slight shake and you need some sort of support or a tripod to have a clear picture. The warranty we provide is in addition to the statutory rights to a warranty free of charge, for which any claim must be directed to the seller of your product.Quick release plate (00004154) system on the head for quick and easy attachment and removal of your camera. However i feel that sturdiness is to be desired, Eventhough there is a hook to hang a weight from, It will just add to the budget.

It's not going to take much movement around it (be it air or vibrations) to result in blur, especially when doing night shots. If you encounter resistance, try to find the screw that unlocks the resistance, rather than forcing things. Likewise, any statutory rights you have to a warranty free of charge from us remain unaffected by this warranty promise.

i must say it is well made so that it fits into an extremely small case, despite it being over a metre high when folded out. If you already have a cheap tripod and you want to get something better, save yourself a lot of money and frustration and get the best tripod with an arca-swiss quick release system – skip the middle.
