You probably can attach a camera but not sure how. Fully extended, the pole bends under its' own weight somewhat but a small camera shouldn't bend it much more.

Hey, Amazon4life, if you can screw a 1/4 bolt into the small end (top), then cut off the head of the bolt (file it where it's cut), any camera will screw onto that bolt. I've attached a Canon T3i and THEN extended the pole with good safe results. That reduces the risk of bending. Reverse lowering section by section is safer too, though time-consuming until you practice a little. If you have a camera with a remote, you're golden. Otherwise, start with pole halfway extended, use self-timer on the camera, then raise the other half section by section quickly. Practice is required! (Have you considered the three-sectioned Unger - lighter, 18-ft reach?)

You can use it however you want, the cover folds back and you can fold the top part down to expose the camera if you want. This does what you are looking for. Get it, you won't regret it because it is super thin too (adds much less than 1/8" to overall thickness).

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

not likely... my experience attaching cameras involved two inch focusers. If you can find something that will mount to a 1-1/4 inch focuser... maybe, but this mount won't be useful for stability either.

Do you mean horizontally? The short answer is "yes". It's not a strict 90 degree angle because the flex is not that flexible, but you can attach it horizontally and flex the camera vertically to be level. If you mean, can you attach it straight down vertically, and flex it 180 degrees for the camera to be upright, the answer, again, is "yes". As mentioned in other reports, the flex on this thing is very tight and requires two hands to bend, but it will bend. I had it attached to the underside of a slanted 2x4 and twisted it upwards to be upright and level. I was impressed.

Mostly depends on the camera that you will be using in the end and what you can afford. The best would be anything with a 3/8" when mounting the slider in the center position.You can attach it directly to a tripod head, but it will tend to shift weight when moved to one end or another even with a light weight ball head and dslr attached to the slider. This can be compensated with a light-stand however as each end does have 1/4" mounts and can take up some of the slack to balance out the slider.

The strap that goes around your neck will attach to the camera. I use a hand strap that will mount to this unit. Other then those too I don't know what kind of strap you are referring.

The Camera and its attached video line is delicate. The camera has mounting loops ( made of stiff wire ) at the top. I attach it to some rugged fishing line ( i.e., at least 20 pound test ) and CAREFULLY lower it to the bottom, using the reel with a fishing rod. This approach has worked for me.........I hope this information helps you........Jim K.......

It can attach to the tripod socked on your camera however it's not recommended unless you have the optional battery pack attached to the camera. Also mine stopped working approx. a month after I got it. . .new batteries, making sure the battery contacts were tight was no help. I eventually bought the Canon model and have had no problems for over a year.

There is a piece that screws to the bottom of the camera. That piece is the coupler that... Yes allows you to snap it in and out.

Yes, perfectly. But if you want to take a photo, you can't bend it all the way back.

I just spoke to Creative and the tripod socket (YES it has one) is next to it in a way that the USB is not a problem. He assures me that the tripod will fit just fine . As for standing any of these cameras up by themselves, given how thin they all are I would never stand any of them up because they could so easily tip over.

It's about a foot or less all folded up. It's not very sturdy, so placing a DSLR on it is questionable. A pocket camera shouldn't be a problem.

First of all, you would get good bang for your bucks. The ePhoto Mini Carbon Jib is well constructed and attractive design, I paired the ePhoto jib with matching carbon fiber Sirui T-1205X tripod. They are comparable in weight and size wise and become a center of attention everywhere I go. Yes, you can attach any type of SLR cameras on the jib as long as the total weight of your gear is 3 lb. or under then it would be fine otherwise the jib would bend badly. I do not use monitor but thinking you might be able to attach one, just sandwich between the jib and tripod at center screw so the tripod will carry the weight not the jib.

No...im sure you can jerry rig it to work somehow. But they way in swivels it only work with a regular camera in the right position. you cant take pics the long way because the arm will give out and swivel so the camera is on the bottom. it won't hold it upright on the side. if that makes sense

Depends on how heavy it is and whether it has a 1/4x20 threaded socket. If the camera and light weigh more than a couple of pounds and you try to position it in a position close to horizontal, I'm worried that it would not be able to hold it without sagging. If your equipment is heavy, you may be better off with the locking articulated arm, it will support more weight.

There is no problem attaching this camera to a tripod, I have several tripods and it attached to all of them
