What kind of tripod do you need for this lens?

Any standard tripod will work but a sturdy one is preferred because of the lens size and weight of the camera. If you buy a light weight tripod you will just have to support the weight a little more and it will be harder to take low light or long exposure shots

I accont provide you with a catalogue number but you need a heavy dutty one. The lens is heavy and you need a stable platform to get clear pictures. Took some Moon shot using a borrowed tripod as my basic one was not useful

Hi, The important part is the "Head" more than the tri-pod. The head you need is the Manfrotto 393 for steady video and shots. Than you can use most any Manfrotto tri-pod that will hold 3-5 lbs. or so. and with a 3/8" screw. Hope this helps. Happy new Year!

A strong heavy duty one. I have Manfrotto equipped with the Manfrotto joystick as well.the whole setup is capable of handling up to 20 pounds. And you'll need that much to protect your investments.

If you shoot hand held the vc is essential for this size lens. If you don't mind usung a tripod you can probably save the money.

I can get within 12 inches with that lens and a tripod is NOT a must if you have a steady hand or somewhere else to rest your camera on while focusing.

I don't use it, but it should work OK with the included lenses. I wouldn't be sturdy enough for larger telephoto lenses, but it is a lot lighter than the tripod I use for that.

It is an e-mount frame. So any lenses that are e-mount will be just fine. A-mount lenses will work too with an adapter.

If you are intending to use the telephoto lens, it will work IF you use the tripod. Otherwise, the smallest movement on your part becomes magnified into something that looks like an earthquake

Search for "tripod" right here on Amazon. You can use any regular tripod for this cam.

I use a Kirk lens plate that replaces the Nikon plate. It is Arca Swiss compatible, so it can be placed on my ball head/tripod or monopod.

I own the fugifilm HS20 and this lens works perfectly. But your going to need a tripod to help with focusing the picture. But I love it, for photographing wildlife, it gives me that extra zoom.

I have a Nikon and I really like this lens, especially at this price. I just checked the Amazon listing for the lens and your camera is not listed so you might need a special adapter or T ring. I recommend you call 47th street photo @ 800-304-2510 or 718-998-6666 to see if they have it. They're closed Sat & Sun. Good Luck.

You need to order the lens with the correct mount for your gear. It is a good lens.

It will work but do remember this is a manual lens and not auto-focus and quite heavy for casual photography. Tripod is a must.

One thing to keep in mind if using this lens is that it does not have image stabilization (IS). So if your shooting quick action shots; such as soccer, you may want to use a mono or tripod.

It is so heavy that you must have a very sturdy tripod. I have had on going trouble with the adapter. So much so that I have not used the lens for over 2 months.

Any photographic tripod that has the screw attachment to. This device has the threaded screw hole that is common to most cameras and some binoculars. Any camera tripod should work.

you must use the adapter that comes with the binocs. Using this you can attach any standard tripod or monopod like I use.

This is a full manual lens, no auto anything, you also have no stabilisation so a tripod is essential
