Can you use this with a DSLR such as the Nikon D800?

yeah totally. When I first got mine, I got it for my Sony V1U (this was many years back). Sony V1U is 3X the size of the D800. Now it's my second tripod and I shot on Pansonic GH series DSLRs and it still works fine.

If the camera mount on the nikon is like any other mount you should be able to mount it, as it comes with its own mounting plate.

It will most DEFINATELY. You just will have to either mount your external mic above on the top of the frame via hotshot adapter or your flash with an off camera sync cord . I own the d800 as well, but don't use my battery grip very much.

It worked with a D800, so I'd try it. I had to return it because the plug for the body would not clear between body and sigma 8mm plus r10 pano rotator I was using for pano photos. For typical lenses this will not be a problem.

if the Nikon D800 takes CF cards there should be no problem. The Extreme Pro card is fast and reliable with my Canon 7D.

MY experience told me that it worked for D300s but not D800. I believe it would work for old model Nikon DSLR.

Yes, but it is NOT easy to screw-on camera, and it can potentially damage your camera if you miss aligning before you fasten it. Aligning point may not where you think it is. (At leas that I remembered last time I used on my D800E). You have to be extremely careful when you screw it on. Your camera may not recognize the lens, therefore, you have to add your lens into system window by dialing length of the lens. The lens was built like a tank, it is quite well made, but unfortunately it does not easily fit with new digital SLR cameras. For me, the lens is a problematic.

I would think yes, I use it on my d700 with a Nikon 70-200 VR11 lens with excellent results. I don't think Nikon changed anything about the mount on the d800. If they had there would be a new Teleconvertor for the d800.

Yes. It is a D series, which according to this chart on the Nikon website, should work. http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d800/compatibility02.htm

Yes you can. Here is a helpful article. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/5018daf.htm

If the D800 has a standard mount then it will work. I have a Gopro so of course I had to buy an adapter. I use it diving in saltwater and it has held up well.

Should work as a flash trigger. (Unsure if it will work for you as a remote shutter release... Not sure if the D80 has the connector which mates to what is supplied in the kit.)

I used it with my D800. Works great. The timer on the remote is really nice if you are shooting bulb especially.

Absolutely. It mounts the exact same way as the Nikon version and does so tightly. I have no concerns with this camera on my D800 and I shoot a lot of weddings and outdoor sporting activities and definitely put this thing through its paces.

It's compatible with my D60, so my guess is that it would be fine with a D80.

I have a D600 and there should not be any issue I can see why this would not work. It's a plate on the bottom and a strap at the top with plenty of adjustability for the extra height of the D800. I hope that helps. I took mine oversees and I will never go without this strap.

I'm not familiar with the D80, but I can tell you that if your camera has an internal focusing motor, it will work just fine. I used it on a D90 (the direct successor to the D80) without issue, and now it's my primary lens on my D7000. Just keep in mind that this lens was designed for a full-frame sensor. Due to the size difference between full-frame and the DX sensor (what the D40, D60, D80, D90, D5xxx series, D7xxx series, etc. uses), the focal length will be extended by about 1.5x.
