One advance: I belong yet to the newcomer to the hobby photography ... After I had searched the known electronics markets for cheap photo tripod, I was a little shocked that rickety scrap is offered in the price range up to about 80 euros .... Then I'm after a long search on the Hahnel Triad 60 Lite encountered and was on the Delivery excited. For less than 70 euros incl. Shipping it could be a let down so easily, with the blue plastic clips I was extremely skeptical. Then the delivery came. Striking was before the wertig appearing packaging that suggested no exhaling cheap plastics also when opening ever. Opened the well-made bag and then the first thought ...: What an awesome item !!! At the price! DC noted the tripod is really not difficult, but for hiking, etc. there's lighter. But for this also makes everything a very solid impression! The telescopic legs glide easily enjoyable without wiggle great. The plastic clamps hold far better than we had hoped. And here it comes: If you no longer time enough terminals, they can adjust to what came with a wrench. The tripod legs snap into different angles, all about and slides to be somehow rickety sound without. The surface dragonfly is very helpful, because swings only aligned tripod and tilts the camera exactly in horizontal or vertical direction. The coronation then represents the 3D head! All made of sturdy metal, no plastic windy stuff! The fluid head is in proportion to the weight tripod a little stiff, so that it is advisable to keep the tripod with one hand while panning. But then wobbles for nothing! Whether 3-axis adjustment or ball head must each decide for themselves. I prefer the 3-axis adjustment. The Kamerakippung one is usually a one-off. For use with the camcorder I have then the advantage to clean swing in one direction without wobbling like a ball head in the second direction. In addition, the braked ball heads like tilt inadvertently away with cheap tripods. The fluid head draws upon detection by a little, but arranged so that one quickly. But he allows to shake in movie operation wonderfully smooth movement without the image. And my Nikon D5100 with 70-300 Tamron lens and flash Nissin carrying the tripod easily My Conclusion: For amateur photographers at the price a really great tripod!
