Do I need a separate tripod to use the Samyang telephoto lens? ie. 1 tripod for the D7100 and another to stabilize the Samyang?

I must admit that using the monopod is difficult with that lens you have to be very steady. I found that using a normal tripod was sufficient you do not need both to use it.

No, I use a profesional tripod for the D7100 and the Samyang telephoto lens.

The monopod that comes with it should be ok.. However this lens doesn't hold very good on the camera body.. Also don't expect too much with the quality either.. But i guess that's what you would get with a 100 $ lens...

Yes YOU DO, the pole it comes with DOES NOT stand alone..you need TRI-POD type,

No one tripod is enough .. Attach it to the samyang lens and the camera will be stable.

This is a heavy lens. In order to steady the camera and lens you will need a heavy duty tripod. Some of the new pistol grip models are not strong enough to lock the lens in place. The lens attaches to the tripod not the camera. This helps balance the weight of both items. I have some super pictures of the moon using this lens. I also use a double lens adapter (2X) to make it 2600mm.

i actually have to use two tripods.... one on each end (luckily i already have two) because if i use it in the middle...the balance can't hold the weight of my canon t2i

The plates aren't based on the tripod. You have to buy a head separately. That should come with a couple of plates. This tripod isn't intended to be connected to the camera directly. Any Manfrotto ball head would work perfect and they sell these legs with different heads as a combo package.

No I didn't. But there's no rocket science involved in using a tripod; so it wasn't necessary. And from many reviews I read prior to purchase, the mini tripod is flimsy. So didn't need that either. Ravelli tripod is a beast!

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

I would definitely use a tripod if your are sliding shots that you want to be higher than ground level. I would recommend that you use 2 tripods for extra stability.

Yes, in fact I haven't used a tripod yet. In fact I took photos and videos of the Bandaloop Group recently. Love this camera lens.

Yes. I use it with my D7100. Just keep in mind that unlike Nikkor lenses, this is not crafted the same and this is metal on metal. So the first couple times you are going to have to almost force it on. I thought I was going to break the camera. Took it to Samy's Camera and thats exactly what they did. After a few times it will wear in. Its an Extermely good lens for the price. Mine was about $280. It doesnt seem to auto focus quite as fast as my Nikor lenses so I have to be just a bit more patient but otherwise a great companion to the D7100. You're going to enjoy it.

This kit includes a special case that has the ring on which you would screw on the various lenses. You will have to remove the phone from your case and place it in the case included with the kit. Then you are able to use the telephoto and other lenses included. I usually just snap it back in my personal case when I'm finished shooting.

I used a camera tripod to mount/support the scope. I am not aware of a way to use it as a telephoto lens.

I personally would by a separate mount. This mount is not flexible, the the actual tripod for its price is great. FYI, my tripod already broke though, but again, you get what you pay for. I have kids, so if you take care of yours, it should be fine.

The Nikon compatible version of this lens will work fine on the D7100. Keep in mind however that the D7100 is an excellent camera that will not achieve it's full image potential with this lens as it is a lower end lens and is optically "so-so". The D7100 is a great camera that can produce great photos with the use of great lenses. By the way, I own this lens and it did a good job on my D200, especially the macro function which is hard to beat with any other lens. Otherwise for awesome normal telephoto duty skip this one and go with the Nikon 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor lens. It's great for this camera.

Yes, you can use this lens on the D7100. In addition, you can also get through the lens metering as well as use it in aperture priority mode. Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreicate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

Yes, this is exactly what you will need. I bought the set to do something similar with waterfall effects. Of course you will need a tripod. Depending on what kind of camera you have (I use a Nikon D7100) you can switch from full auto to an aperture priority mode and stop the lens down to the smallest f-stop (the highest number, probably around f 22) Use the 4X for maximum effect. You can theoretically stack the filters for even more time of exposure but you will see some image degradation and I wouldn't recommend that.

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.
