I decided to get this tripod for a family holiday to Spain to avoid the blurriness you sometimes get with handheld photos. It costs about £7 on amazon so is a complete bargain compared to most other tripods. However the price reflects the basic nature of this equipment. It is not remotely advanced or specialized but is fine for family ... Read the complete review

I love taking photographs of scenes, objects, people and pretty much everything. I'm, by no means, a pro when it comes to photography but even so having a tripod for a camera is a must, even for amateurs, because it makes life so easy. My nikon camera costs me a little over £100; there are certainly cameras a lot more expensive than this ... Read the complete review

I mostly use a Canon DSLR but occasionally I will use a small point and shoot Canon camera when I'm not wanting to lug around all my gear - which can, unfortunately, get a bit tiresome from time to time! The Hama Digi-Pod Tripod Compact 1 is a small tripod for a point and shoot camera which a friend bought for me last year, and while I ... Read the complete review

I had never considered buying a tripod for a digital cameras before but I recieved the Hama Digi-Pid Tripod Compact 1 as a gift earlier this year. The tripod is, as the name suggests, compact. It fits nicely in my travel bag and there isn't really a great deal to the tripod, although it is very sturdy. Available for just £3-£5 online it ... Read the complete review

I met up with a very old friend recently, living in Saudi Arabia I have not seen her for eight years and envisage it will be a similar period of time until I see her again. We decided to go and see a show and have dinner afterwards, so knowing I would want to take photographs I packed my camera and spare batteries. After ... Read the complete review

Intro ------ The family and I headed to Canada last year for our last big family holiday with me in tow. I am now deemed too old for any sort of exploration and this was deemed as the final swansong. However, I thought that it would be a great idea to get some great photos of this fantastic country as we headed along it, and ... Read the complete review

When I'm out and about in somewhere interesting, or at least somewhere I find interesting, I try and take a few snaps of myself against the backdrop. Unfortunately this usually entails one of those horrible "at arms length" shots which you see all over facebook. Thankfully a while back I purchased for myself a nice tripod to ...

I have owned a number of camera stands and have to say this is by far the worst I have ever bought. The stand itself is so tiny you would think that it was meant for a child. The stand is made from very cheap plastic that you would defiantly not want to drop, the legs are attached to two hinges which allow the stand to followed flat, the ... Read the complete review

I got fed up of trying to continually balance my compact camera on rocks or against some wall as I tried to get the family photo shot against a scenic background when on holiday. So I decided to invest in a camera tripod which should hopefully make the whole setting up procedure much easier. Looking on the web and around various camera ... Read the complete review

So what's a digipod when it's at home? Well essentially it's a very small and basic camera stand, similar to a tripod. It has 3 'legs' and a screw thread fitting to attach the camera, but it's made from plastic and height is not adjustable. When folded down the digipod reminds me of a kids maths compass in appearance and when ... Read the complete review

If this tripod was any more than the £1 that you can pick it up for I would say avoid it. At that price it's kind of ok that it won't last as it must be the smallest camera stand i've ever owned. It's wrong to call Hama's smallest offering a tripod. With no adjustment possible except in a single plane. This stand is set up to ... Read the complete review

I'm not too into photography but on the odd occasion that I do want to take a picture or two I can never find a flat surface. So because of this I wasn't prepared to go all out on a tripod that wouldn't get much use. So I did a search and found this for 75 pence! So it already gets 10/10 for price. The tripod is very easy to ... Read the complete review

I love taking photos but as a model I am more accustomed to having the camera pointed at me than me pointing one at others. I have a good camera now and enjoy using it immensely but I never thought I would see the day when I purchased a tripod, and many would say I still haven't. This is a tripod like no other I have ever seen ... Read the complete review

Hama make a few products and I have tried a few items made by them including a compact digi pod tripod. The one I had was the compact 1 version and it was easy to use, plus was small and quick for me to set up. The tripod is a bit strange looking but I think its ok for light use and its better than no tripod at all. It can be ... Read the complete review

This is the weirdest looking camera tripod I've ever seen, well maybe not as weird as them bendy plastic ones you can get but to me this one looks like a piece of scaffolding that shouldn't be anywhere near my camera! It's made by Hama and I bought it at the same time as a Mini Tripod, I only got this one because it was mega ... Read the complete review
