For serious photographers a good, sturdy tripod is a must have for certain photos, preventing camera movement to minimise blurring and creating a sharp, high-quality photo. This makes them ideal to use for capturing self-portraits or group shots, where there is no one to hold the camera, as well as for slow-speed exposures or when capturing wildlife and other scenes where details need to be crisp and clear.

Become snap happy and produce beautiful professional looking shots with this versatile and super compact Star 75 tripod. Suitable for use with both video and photo cameras, its rubber feet permit a firm grip on a range of terrains, with an aluminium structure that creates a strong and sturdy support for cameras up to a maximum weight of 0.5kg whilst also remaining lightweight for easy and convenient transportation and great pictures on the go.

To allow you to achieve a range of heights (from 42.5-125cm) and to capture pictures and videos from the perfect perspective in a variety of situations, the Star 75 comes with a fully adjustable centre column, along with a spirit level to ensure even alignment of the camera and a 3-way tripod head which can be repositioned at a number of different angles and smoothly panned for the creation of a smooth and professional film. Furthermore, with its standard 1/4" (6.4mm) thread, mounting your camera no longer needs to be a chore as you can attach it to the tripod and even switch between different cameras in an instant, ensuring that you never miss that all important photo opportunity.

A fantastic piece of kit for the money, it even comes with its own travel case which it folds neatly into so that you can carry your tripod around with you safely with no hassle. Whether you are hiking up a hill, attending an important event or jetting off to your next holiday destination, you will always be fully prepared for any photographic eventuality thanks to the Star 75!

Save your money, a stick with a nail in it would be more stable

I'm kind of inclined to agree, the first tripod I bought was a Hama which was 4.99 - it was fine whilst it lasted (or so I thought back in the day) but it broke as my dad was mounting his 50D on it by the sea - luckily he didn't drop the camera or anything but something to bear in mind!
 
U get what u pay for. Maybe for compact cam its good enough but I wouldn't mount a thousand pound DSLR on it.

Reading that back it sounds like I was having a pop at you which wasn't what I intended, what i should have posted was they're quite flimsy and not stable when extended so spending a few more £££ would be advisable

*LOL* No...no offense at all mate but on the other hand I don't want someone breaking their camera because of something I suggested

When I think about it I think I have a Hamma tripod somewhere. If its the one I am thinking of I have had it years and years with no problems at all. But I mostly used it for a spotterscope not my DSLR
