    Good Points: Max. full length;: 135cm
    Turn-lever (360 )
    Compact and for every (normal) camera
    A compact bag (60cm)
    And more buttons for better use (slow-fast for rotary lever)
    Not much money for (professional) tripod
    ...


    Bad Points: Sometimes difficult for using
    No guide for using it
    Rotary Lever sometimes not straight (not perfect 180 )


    General comments: Hama Star 61 Is a nice, compact tripod for a normal, standard camera or camcorder.
    The first time you use it, it's sometimes difficult but it goes really great.
    There's also a bag for the tripod.
    You can turn it to the highest point of the tripod (135cm).
    There's a lever on the unit (for professional recordings).
    So you can turn it above 360 with the lever.
    An integrated waterlevel for a straight posture.

    I am quite pleased with my Hama Star 61 tripod which is lightweight and versatile. Excellent for smaller cameras and camcorders. Not all that robust for the heavier DSLR with zoom lens so be careful with plastic mounting plate .

    Hmmmm, I guess you get what you pay for. The Hama Star 61 tripod looks good enough, is easy to use with quick release legs and camera mounting. Reasonably stable when erected.

    Main gripe is the camera mounting assembly the plastic plate is not at all secure when in place - too much movement. Not really suitable for dslr.

    Would be a good entry tripod for a digital compact though.

    i suppose you get what you pay for, sorry I bought the Hama Star 61 now using it as a mono pod, my dlsr is to heavy for it especially when i use my 70-300 zoom lens. Lightweight but too much plastic not rigid enough

    Hama Star 61 is a nice cheap well made tripod, great for all vid and camera work, also i use this for my spotting scope to view the stars and moon. I really like this tripod its a good buy if you're on a budget also ideal for binoculars and bird watchers.
    I recommend this tripod to all on a budget, the only downside is there's no instruction manual needed for begginers who've never owned a tripod before and dont know what knob is for what, but its quite simple to operate.
    A thumbs up from me. ...

    Cheap, firm, light, easy to use, good tripod, recommend Hama Star 61. Just lost the quick release plate - can't find a replacement. I think I'll just buy the whole tripod again, just this time I'll glue the plate to my camera..

    Very pleased with the Hama Star 61 as this light weight tripod which satisfies all my needs. 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.

    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. The Hama Star 61 Tripod is no exception. 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. Very yummy.

    For the price (Just over £10 at Amazon), you get a great tripod which comes with rubber feet, a spi ...
