Is there an option to use this on a table top? In other words, can I use it without attaching the tripod legs?

The legs fold up. In fact, the whole thing folds into a handy carrying case. One of the configurations comes ready to use as a table top. In fact, it's shipped that way. You can take the legs off if you want, but it's designed to collapse so that you don't have to.

It doesn't attach to a tripod. It mounts to a light stand. It's used to hold a flash off camera while the flash is remote triggered.I suppose someone might make an adapter to mount to a tripod though.

From what I understand it is not tripod ready, and that is a design flaw. One reviewer mentioned that he had drilled and tapped a section of the mount for a tripod, but that may not be an option for you unless you are handy with tools.

I just use a regular tripod, but my slider isn't completely rock solid either; it is, however, stable enough to use. If you have another tripod, you could attach one on either side of the slider, which would keep it really steady. I also take my pan head off of the tripod, so there's no wiggle room coming from the quick release plate - i just attach it directly to the screw coming out of the tripod.

Mine is mounted to ceiling and it did not come with legs for table use. Hope this helps.

You can give it a shot. The piece in the pic comes off by spinning it. So perhaps you can put it on the plate that would normally go on the camera on the tripod..Great idea by the way

Yes, but I wouldn't advise it. There are some tripods that are designed to have one leg used as a monopod, but this one isn't.

Great idea. Wish I didn't need a tripod, though. I guess I'll have to decide whether I really want to do a lot of macro work. Thanks!

It attaches to the base by two round discs that set into grooves on each side of the base.I don't know of a tripod that is made for it but with a little work I'd say it's light enough one could be built for it if you cared to do such a thing..... Honestly I'd just put it on a short table or something if you wanted it higher.

I believe you can mount with or without the rails... Just be sure the tripod can handle the weight it's pretty heavy once you all everything

Yeah, it comes with an adapter screw thread that makes it work without a tripod head. But i would strongly suggest using it with a tripod head. Otherwise the camera is only stuck in one position on the slider and it's direction is determined by where the thread of the screw stops. So this can make it very hard to set up your shot.

Yes, this CAN be used with out a tripod head although it would be better to use a head for easier angles. (Almost a year later, lol)

I just checked the manual, and YES, it can be mounted on a tripod. There is an accessory adapter TRA-2 sold separately.

Yes, you can....just tried it out...just unscrew the hook at the end of the center column, release the tension ring and invert the center column. This truly is a nice tripod. Hope that answers your question:)

You absolutely can. Not only is there a screw on top to attach the camera to it, there is a screw hole on the bottom to attach your tripod's camera plate. I hope this helps.

This little camera CAN'T be used with a tripod unfortunately. You might be able to jerry rig something but I wouldn't really recommend it. It's still a fun camera to own though.

No I do not think the legs on this unit are strong enough for your setup. Go with a higher quality tripod such as Really Right Stuff.
