Hello There, have a long time me rumgeärgert with a Hama part. Eventually the desire came on for a better tripod. Researched and analyzed, and tested ... I am willing to pay more for good quality little deeper into their pockets but here the question arises: Does it really be a professional tripod for hundreds of euros? No, it does not have. The Togopod meets all the requirements of ambitious amateur photographers. The quality is excellent, thoughtful handling and a "monopod" there were, for free. So accessing.
