A tripod for less than 20, - EUR - as was clear from the start that I had to cut back, but just as it should be, I wanted a stand for once in passing, on holiday and especially for indoors. The more surprised I was about but very good quality of this part, which HAMA has proven once again that good things can be built for as little money. But: this tripod is suitable for equipment to at most 1 kg, lightweight digital cameras or camcorders, I can only warn against trying to be something like the Canon EOS available as an accessory use it or the old, but fairly heavy analog camcorder, quite to say nothing of analogue SLR cameras with telephoto lenses. The tripod is perfect for digital photographers or videographers who sometimes just their camera hanging around his neck, the 42 cm long and a few hundred grams lightweight tripod in the practical bag hanging on his back and then (z. Ex. At air shows ) folded quickly with the whole moving around in the area. I can thing - subject to the caveats - recommend.
