How does the tripod work on the beach?

You can pull the pole out of the tripod legs and it is pointed. Hope this helps.

I have never used the tripod on the beach. I am sure it would work if it were not too windy, but the model I purchased has a sand screw attached. You do not need the tripod part for the beach. Just make sure you purchase the right model because not all models have that part.

The tripod will not work at the beach - your umbrella will blow away with the first big wind. For the beach, use the included sand screw to anchor the umbrella. It simply screws into the sand, you insert the umbrella into it and tighten the side bolt. Hope this was helpful.

We found that when it is not too windy, we just use the stakes that come with it to hold it down. I actually haven't used the sand screw. The pole comes out of the tripod part and there is a screw on the bottom. There is a post that you attach to the pole to help screw it into the sand. We absolutely love the Wondershade, and may use the screw at some point, but didn't this summer.

I've never used it on the beach but my husband and I think it would be fine. It does come with spikes to "tie" the tripod down. Like any umbrella, I guess it all depends on how windy it is out. Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

No, it does not. This tripod works, but that's about it. You get what you pay for. VERY light weight. Would not use this in a stiff wind. All plastic.

the tripod is the only thing you can use it with because part of the poll is the part attached to the tripod. It is far more stable, even in wind, than I thought it would be. I really like the umbrella. We have grandkids that play travel sports and the fields are often windy and we have never had a problem with them.

You attach the quick release bracket that comes with the tripod to the foot (or handle) on the lens. Then you attach the lens (with the camera installed) to the tripod.

My motor got burned when i tried using an ac/dc adapter, at the moment i can slew manually by hand if the target is the moon, if your targeting distant planets like jupiter or saturn, you can still see it but its gonna be very difficult keeping it on target if slewed manually by hand. The tripod is not that stable

I'm not sure about the tripod but the camera ONLY works during daylight hours.

Randy, the beach is the sole reason why I bought this unit. I really like how it works. You'll need to ground balance when you move closer to the water or you'll get bad readings. So I work above the surf and then ground balance again and move it the surf (water). Perfect for what you want.

No it does not... I am an old time photographer and it works great for me...and if I need more stabilization that I get from me....I use my tripod.

I don`t know. The tripod had a leg that wouldn`t extend all the way so I sent the piece of crap back to Amazon and got a refund.

It has the threaded thumbscrew to attach to a camera where a tripod would normally go.

The battery is still accessible. There is not bottom. It stays open. And yes it can be used with a tripod. I live by the ocean and this skin has protected by my cameras for years.

At the bottom of the slider there are three screw holes ( like on the bottom of a camera ) you can attach it threw either the middle one for one tripod or to the two on each side for a more stable two tripods. I keep a quick release plate on the bottom of my slider so it's faster to set up.

Actually, it has a hook, attached to an elastic band inside one left of the tripod. I've always wondered what it was for- you have now answered that question! The tripod is substantial- I've never felt the need for anchoring.

The tripod has a leveling bubble on the mount head so you can adjust the legs until the camera sits level.

Umbrella inserts below the tilt joint in line with the tilt. The hole you're looking at is the transverse mounting hole for mounting the bracket sideways on the tripod.

It has something you can screw with your fingers. Frankly, one of the very few down sides to this tripod. After shooting for a while the plate has a tendency of loosening. I would have rather preferred a plate that you can screw in with a screw driver.
