Do you have to use the tripod? Is the lens easy to attach and remove?

The zoom is pretty significant so the tripod kind of helps to aim and stabilize. But it's not neccesary. You could easily hold the phone and lense to look around and find your subject. The lens screws into a simple case that you snap your phone into. It's very easy to use. The only hesitation is if you already have a case on your phone. You'll have to remove it to click it into the case attached to the telescope.

Due to the high F number of the magnifying zoom, slight movement of a manually held camera could cause a blurry photo, since the shutter speed will be lower in order to pass enough light onto the image plane.

A tripod is recommended, especially in lower light conditions in which the camera's F number may be too high. The lens simply snaps on and off.

No, you don't have to use the Tripod. The lens is easy to attach and remove.

Thanks you, C. Ryan Waverly, for answering my question -clearly and promptly.

Yes the lens is removeable, they make several different lenses for this camera

This tripod is VERY easy to operate. A simple hand twist is all that is required. I've used it with a Canon 5D MIII with a 70-200 mm lens with no problem. I highly recommend this tripod.

Unfortunately, the connector that locks the camera to the harness (it works well and released from the harness easily and quickly) uses the tripod mounting screw hole, and must be unscrewed to be able to mount it to a tripod. Not a very difficult task, but not as convenient as I'd prefer.

Yes. The lens cover has a short tether cord which I securely fastened to one of the shoulder strap loops on the camera body. It's easily removed for shooting with two fingers, and cannot be replaced over the lens until the camera is switched off. No problem.

The mount on the lens should have a threaded hole that the detachable part of your tripod mount will screw into, then you mount that on your tripod. That is if that is the kind of tripod you have, some tripods I have seen just have a screw come up the you thread onto the camera or in this case the lens.

The lens cover snaps on and off. A small flat screwdriver makes it easier, but you have to be careful. There are tabs on two sides of the lens that fit into slots. You don't want to crack the lens.

I can't answer your question because I have not used the tripod attachment.

no. unfortunately, you'd have to take the strap off in order to use it with a tripod.

It is extremely easy. Made possible by well-designed arms, leg extender "latches", and its very light weight. This is an excellent "first tripod". See my comment/review about the head that comes with the tripod.

This is true. The lens included is not removable. The additional lenses and filters screw onto the end of the fixed lens. I am a hobbyist photographer at best and believe this camera is well-suited to my needs. I have yet to need lenses above and beyond the ones included in this kit. I will say, this camera takes very good pictures, but may not be suited to a more serious photographer. Hope that helps.

No. This is a solid lens, but you will need to use a tripod for low light, and a higher shutter speed if you are hand holding while zooming.

Dear customer,Thank you for your email. You do not need any quick release plate or tripod to attach your camera with the cage. All you need is the screw. Please check out the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAhWGWNrMjoHopefully, the video will be able to help you solve your problem.Thank You

The motors are kind of noisy as with any motorized system. Depending if you have a quick release plate of not it will take you about 2 minutes to take the camera of or put it in. It's not bad. Changing lens should take you about 2-3 minutes also it's not bad either. I just uploaded a video of the un-boxing when I got it. I'm editing the review video then I will take some shoots with it

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

A tripod is not included in the price, however, it definitely needs one and I will be buying one for mine for maximum zoom.

there is a mounting ring for the camera to the lens but not for a tripod you would have to get that separate
