The “Videocut 200” video editing system, which would go on to be a best-seller, is launched. The integrated sound mixer allows the original sound to be faded in and out.

A professional tripod system developed in house combines new innovations with the company’s traditional strengths
Hama developed the “Delta Pro” series of tripods as a modular system, which was the first of its kind. This allowed Hama to offer affordable tripods to hobbyists and semi-professional photographers who wanted professional results. A range of extras, for instance the central column with air suspension or the 3D ball head, make these tripods the perfect companions for any terrain. Not travelling? This series also makes an excellent tabletop tripod.
