The workmanship is good and solid, and the handling is simple and fast.
The biggest shortcoming is the fact that the mini tripod is designed for very light cameras.
In landscape mode, taking it out even heavier Systemkameras good and stable. However, If you want to Camera Cocked, one is forced the telescopic legs completely undress. And even completely undressed the package is very unstable. The camera system keeps it then no longer in position and even with a slight ultra-compact camera, the ball head must be tilted just a stand.
Which brings us to the next point of criticism already. The ball head can actually fix well only in the vertical. Once the force application point is somewhere side you have to tighten the screw almost with pliers in order to ensure a stable hold.
All in all I think the Hama stand a good tripod for very light cameras. As soon as the weight is slightly higher, however, I can only advise of a purchase.
