Hama "Star 700 EF" Tripod, Champagne | Lightweight with 3-Way Head, Photo Tripod with 42.5-125cm Height, Tripod Including Carrying Case, 1/4" Connection for DSLR

Bought for: holding a laser level (electrician) Cons: Working in the construction industry I expect this stand to break fairly quickly as it will be thrown about and knocked from time to time. It uses small rivets to hold the struts and appears to be plastic on plastic rather than bearings for the rotation, etc, so alterations are a little jerky. Pros: The stand does exactly as described. Although flimsy, It doesn't wrobble and all the locks work fine. It is really light (same weight as a can of beer) and folds up small and neat. One of the cheapest stands at around £14 Overview: If you want something tough & robust that can be treated roughly over time this isn't for you but if you want a stand that will be looked after and not thrown about then this will do the job fine. I would give it 2-3 stars if it was more expensive but at £14 (March 2023) I will give it 5 stars as it is good value for money

This is my second tripod of this type. I broke the first one by attempting to tilt the camera vertically and snapping the plastic mount. I had stupidly neglected to lengthen the centre pole to allow full movement of the camera mount. Good tripod, well made and extremely light. Folds up into a (supplied) bag about the size of a pringles tube. Ideal.

I needed something with height to support binoculars for plane spotting. These do not reach head height, but if you purchase 3 equal-length metal pipes/tubes, measure-up to the 3rd leg clamp, bore holes to fit screws/butterflies, and slide onto the legs, you have extra extension. Reverse the adjustable tilt-head so that it raises, rather than lowers, and attach your bins. You now have a good platform to track moving aircraft. This is a very light- weight piece of kit, but folds-down to nothing and is easily transportable. Most reviews say that it is not ideal for windy conditions. This would be correct in regards to photographic accuracy, but not so much for "mobile" spotting. As one reviewer said, just tie something twixt the legs to add some ballast, and it's fine. Compact to carry, easy to assemble, and extremely cheap. A most excellent piece of kit.

Bought this as a replacement to mount my webcam on when I connect my laptop to the lounge TV, for various online Teams/Zoom meetings with healthcare professionals, social services and the like, for one of my sons. I couldn't work out what the difference was between the models Star 5, Star 75 and Star 700, they all go up to a height of 125cm and the pictures of all three appear identical - I must be missing something? The tripod comes with a thin black plastic carry case and it arrives inside this, in the box. BUT the tripod inside the case has been put into a clear plastic bag!! WHY??? Hama appears to be a German company from the company name and address on the box - the Germans really should know better! This is an utterly unneeded use of single-use plastic, and could be eliminated in the blink of an eye!! The tripod itself is well made and as a lightweight tripod, is very sturdy for expected uses. I see someone in the construction has left a review describing it as flimsy, but I wouldn't buy a lightweight tripod in such circumstances. I wanted something small and lightweight as I won't ever use it in demanding situations, and it fits the bill perfectly. Just a real shame about the plastic bag!

Do not expect too much from this tripod. It does it job basically but found it fiddly to use.

Well, I usually use a Manfrotto tripod (190XPROB legs + MN-804RC2 head) but it is big, long and heavy, so I thought I would buy something smaller and lighter for the odd trip in the tube when taking pictures in C. London. I found this tripod and thought that for £10 I couldn't go wrong: even if it was useless for me, I would just order something else and give this one to a friend of mine that has got a nicer point & click camera). When I unpacked this thing I thought it wouldn't do the job I had in store for it. My camera + lens combination is about 1.6Kg and I was afraid it wasn't going to take it, but after playing around with it at home it actually proved to be reasonably stable. I then took it out for a field trip and it performed everything that I asked of it. Obviously it cannot match the bigger and heavier tripod for solidity and vibration protection, but by keeping in mind the limitations of this £10 piece of kit I achieved fantastic results and couldn't be happier. If you're an amateur that just want to be able to get some good shots in low light/night conditions you can't get anything better than this for this price (or even double the price, as I saw tripods of exactly the same quality going for £25 at the high-street stores).

Bought this for a laser level. It had extendable legs that bring it to waist height. Comes with a nice carrier bag. Good price point.

Great quality tripod for a great price. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cheap tripod to take casual photos with. It's super lightweight and super easy to assemble/ disassemble. Holds my camera well (Kodak PixPro AZ421). Here are some photos I took using the tripod, as you can see it's very clear and that's all thanks to the stability of the tripod
