About this deal

So I make one tiny focus adjustment, wait several seconds until the shaking dies down so I can see the result, and repeat a dozen times over.

Excellent value for money, easy to assemble and adjust and appreciate the little touches with it like the carry handle on the side for transportation, yeah you can't go wrong with it.

The Star 62 has a slightly higher maximum height and is rated at 4 kg instead of 3 kg, otherwise they appear identical. As long as the tripod and head are stable and rated to handle the weight of the device you are mounting. The tripod is equipped with a fully adjustable centre column which can be easily altered by using the crank. 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.

The 300 mm is not quite long enough, and the tripod is not quite steady enough, but I got the photo anyway. 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. 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.if you can say more about it I would recommend you to look at that model video so that you can be little more helpful for me ! I could actually make more precise adjustments by moving the entire tripod than I could by adjusting the head. From previous experience I know that 2 seconds delay is not even nearly long enough time for the camera+tripod combo to stop vibrating. 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. I was taking photos of the moon two days ago, choosing a windless night because wind is a no-go weather with this tripod.

I'm not saying that panning and tilting aren't useful for photography and a ball head tripod is capable of doing these movements. If you encounter resistance, try to find the screw that unlocks the resistance, rather than forcing things. But, I got steady hands, and with the help of focus magnifying on the rear display (live-view) I finally get the moon in focus (to tell you the truth, I did not, because I forgot my reading glasses home. 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. 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.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. 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.
