HamaCamera Tripod Star 700 EF | Lightweight with 3-Way Head | Photo Tripod with 42.5-125cm Height | Tripod Including Carrying Case | Camera Tripod Suitable for SLR and System Cameras | Champagne

Bought for: holding a laser level (electrician)Cons: Working in the construction industry I expect this stand to break fairly quickly as it will be thrown about and knocked from time to time. It uses small rivets to hold the struts and appears to be plastic on plastic rather than bearings for the rotation, etc, so alterations are a little jerky.Pros: The stand does exactly as described. Although flimsy, It doesn't wrobble and all the locks work fine. It is really light (same weight as a can of beer) and folds up small and neat. One of the cheapest stands at around £14Overview: If you want something tough & robust that can be treated roughly over time this isn't for you but if you want a stand that will be looked after and not thrown about then this will do the job fine.I would give it 2-3 stars if it was more expensive but at £14 (March 2023) I will give it 5 stars as it is good value for money

Bought this as a replacement to mount my webcam on when I connect my laptop to the lounge TV, for various online Teams/Zoom meetings with healthcare professionals, social services and the like, for one of my sons.I couldn't work out what the difference was between the models Star 5, Star 75 and Star 700, they all go up to a height of 125cm and the pictures of all three appear identical - I must be missing something?The tripod comes with a thin black plastic carry case and it arrives inside this, in the box. BUT the tripod inside the case has been put into a clear plastic bag!! WHY??? Hama appears to be a German company from the company name and address on the box - the Germans really should know better! This is an utterly unneeded use of single-use plastic, and could be eliminated in the blink of an eye!!The tripod itself is well made and as a lightweight tripod, is very sturdy for expected uses. I see someone in the construction has left a review describing it as flimsy, but I wouldn't buy a lightweight tripod in such circumstances. I wanted something small and lightweight as I won't ever use it in demanding situations, and it fits the bill perfectly. Just a real shame about the plastic bag!

Bought this for a laser level. It had extendable legs that bring it to waist height. Comes with a nice carrier bag. Good price point.

Great quality tripod for a great price. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cheap tripod to take casual photos with. It's super lightweight and super easy to assemble/ disassemble. Holds my camera well (Kodak PixPro AZ421). Here are some photos I took using the tripod, as you can see it's very clear and that's all thanks to the stability of the tripod

Liked the compact ability of the tripod but it felt a little flimsy I mounted a spotting scope on it once I got used to it the pan and tilt functions it provided a good steady platform for the scope but I never felt comfortable with the build quality too much pressure it creaked a bit my older one takes more abuse than this one but it’s ok for supporting cameras or scopes

This tripod is incredibly cheap but it's very useable.The legs are a bit flimsy but there's plenty of adjustment available. The camera mounting is easy to control and has adjustment available for horizontal and vertical movement and also for setting the camera in portrait orientation.Feels sturdy enough when set up and certainly doesn't seem like it will fall over!Also comes with a carrying pouch!Excellent value.

It does what is required and is simple to use.

Great for my laser level
