Product Information

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. The companies we use are DPD or DHL and parcels are delivered in 48 hours or sooner from date of despatch. At 300mm, it's hard to manually focus on the moon at night (or anything else, for that matter), since touching the lens causes the live view to shake so badly that I can't tell whether it's in focus or not.

The Hama Star 61 tripod looks good enough, is easy to use with quick release legs and camera mounting. 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. 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.

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. 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. Likewise, any statutory rights you have to a warranty free of charge from us remain unaffected by this warranty promise.

The moment I hit the shutter release (since I don't own a remote release) and take my hands off the thing, it will take almost 10 seconds for all vibrations to die. The main time you would need something fancier is for video when you need smooth panning and tilting (in which case you would want a fluid head tripod). Quick release plate (00004154) system on the head for quick and easy attachment and removal of your camera.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 could actually make more precise adjustments by moving the entire tripod than I could by adjusting the head. I'm not saying that panning and tilting aren't useful for photography and a ball head tripod is capable of doing these movements. 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. The Hama Star 61 also features a hook for adding additional weight in strong winds, quick-action leg locks and rubber feet to ensure a firm grip on uneven surfaces.

How effective is HAMA STAR 61 tripod for shooting with Nikon

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.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. The 300 mm is not quite long enough, and the tripod is not quite steady enough, but I got the photo anyway.
