just bought a hama star 62.i think it is great value at the price.only one snag.the tilt( up and down ?)was very stiff and caused the retaining cap to work loose.i cured this with silicone spray lubricant instead of wd40 that others have used and it now works fine.probably would have been better if retaining cap was a screwfit instead of a pushfit.otherwise it does what says on the tin.cant wait to use it at the next airshow. probably wish i had working knowledge of tripods beforehand but i am learning fast.
