Hama Traveller Compact Pro Tripod - £18.12 (Tesco Online)

[thetapeworm]

I'm not sure if this is a bargain or a pricing error but it seems to be considerably cheaper than other sources:

£18.12 plus £5.00 P&P (no store collection on it unfortunately)

£34.99 is the cheapest delivered price I can find from a known source (Play.com)

Interesting. Their price for the Traveller Mini Pro (Mini not Compact) is £38 (normal price around £17), so my guess is that they've got the two mixed up. Wonder what they send if you order ...

I'll keep you posted

Someone has posted this link on the forum that alerted me the deal:

So it's not the first time they have done this.

Mine just arrived



It came with the box taped up in black plastic with Hama UK "security sealed" tape on.

Is it any good though - I've got a tripod that's decent enough, is this worth the expense?

[thetapeworm]

It's fairly light, the build quality seems good (not too much plastic) etc but ultimately it's just some telescopic poles with a screw on the end at the budget end of the market. It's better than the tripod I have at the moment but that was only £15

How sturdy are the legs at full extension?

I honestly couldn't say, I opened it, moved it about a bit and then put it back in it's case, I'll try and sit on it and stuff tomorrow
