Precision Framing with the Hama TAR Duo Aluminium Camera Tripod with Ball Head, 165cm Height, 8kg Capacity – Black

The included aluminium ball head features a dedicated panorama function. This mechanism allows smooth, level panning across 360 degrees for landscape and architectural photography. In addition, an integrated spirit level helps you align every shot accurately. The quick-release plate lets you switch between tripod and handheld shooting in seconds.

Rapid Conversion from Full Tripod to Lightweight Monopod

Versatility in the field is vital when shooting fast-moving events or sports. You can remove the central column and attach it to a designated leg section. This creates a fully functional monopod in moments. As a result, you gain steady tracking support in tight spaces where a full three-leg setup cannot fit.

Inverted Central Column for Ground-Level Macro Work

For detailed close-ups and low-angle video shots, you can invert the central column completely. This positions your camera directly above the ground surface. It delivers rock-solid framing for nature and product captures without requiring awkward tripod configurations.

Robust Four-Section Legs for Variable Terrain

The four-section aluminium legs use fast quick-action locks. So, you can adjust your working height between 50cm and 165cm rapidly on uneven ground. Durable rubber feet maintain a firm grip on smooth floors and outdoor terrain alike. When packed away, the legs fold down to just 45cm for straightforward transport.
