Now to the tripod:
As a very positive I want to evaluate the following points:
(+) Tripod legs with triple leg angle adjustment,
(+) Seems very stable. Keeps easily my EOS 500D :-)
(+) Very well made, made of plastic, only the terminal closures, rest are metal castings.
(+) Very comfortable working height 1.38 m to the quick-release plate without extended center column - maximum extension length approx 161 cm;
(+) The movement of the tripod head is absolutely silent.
(+) The tripod is a beautiful black carrying case with (see video).
(+) Level (3stk) for putting up as well as one additional level per axis on the tripod head.
(+) Option supplied Allen wrench can readjust the tripod leg / joint screws quickly and easily
(+) A removable stabilizing hook (removable) - can be hung with a sandbag or other weights
(+) Tripod head can be unscrewed from the center column and can be connected to the short center column (stabilizing hooks must be unscrewed) are screwed.
(+) Mitteilsäule is not round but edgy and does not rotate with the head.
(+) Mitteilsäule can also be completely pull and push 180 degrees to the ground. Ideally suited for macro photography
(+) Quick release plate camera side studded with cork or something like that and not scratched possibly the camera bottom.
Neutral:
(0) The Neigergriff is placed on the tripod head to the right so that it is suitable only suboptimal for left-handers, but you soon get used to it.
(0) The stability has naturally its price - with nearly 2kg the tripod is anything but a spring ...
(0) moving the tripod head beidachsig initially quite difficult, maybe that will change in the course of use.
(0) No handle - probably wanted the manufacturer the weight not drive up.
(0) The tripod legs have no foam sheathing. The affect functionality in any way.
(0) rubber feet - no adjustable steel spikes
Negatives:
(-) The black coating of the quick-change plate wears out after repeated use somewhat.
(-) The carrying bag is not padded.
Conclusion:
The tripod "Hahnel Triad 60 Lite" is really good - for video as well as photo recording.
The orientation of the tripod head is continuously adjusted.
It is very stable, but it had only tried Indor with the right light 500D.
With three times the leg angle adjustment many positions are possible. (The reason for my decision)
From the price / performance ratio for me there on the market today hardly anything comparable.
Only the "Bilora Blue Mag Line III" which will cost about 10 more and is actually the same.
; Qid = 1333284499 & sr = 8-1
Full fifth star I can not forgive because of the simple coating of quick-change plate.
Despite some minor criticisms are at "Hahnel Triad 60 Lite" is a great, very stable, chic and comparatively inexpensive tripod. Perfect for amateur photographers who are better with time but do not want to buy a 2.Stativ.
Broadly speaking: An absolutely recommendable product!
