Before I express myself to this article, I am not an expert! This tripod is for me just perfect! Before that I had a "Hama Star 61" uses with which I am, of course, have been happy, but what without an extra weight was just too shaky and with whom I could take or pursue any quick (close-range zoomed) objects smoothly. I film for example. Planes where I have very close Ranzoomen and stay on the ball, which was not possible but without any lag. That's why I have my attention placed mainly on the mobility of the swivel head, which is really very precise and accurate without any stuttering can move, thanks to the oil damping. In addition, is also a very useful remote control handle, which all still rounds (for Sony Handycam with A / V input). The building is a 61 Klax and what needs to be explained here in detail, as in my old Hama Star with clip devices and adjusting screws. The only thing that bothered me in the beginning was the push that reacts only after about half a second and immediately upon actuation of the lever, but that does not really bother. When it pulls out to its full length, it is of course then a bit shaky and I miss a hook like my old Hama where I could hang a weight to stabilize. Nevertheless, I find this stand, compared to my old Hama a quantum leap! This tripod One should of course only define when you can use the remote control, otherwise you get also intended for 30 euros less a comparable good model. Packed this tripod is also very small and still can be transported comfortably in the bag supplied. I hope my review will help some when deciding to add itself this tripod or not. ;)
