Can you use tripods and tripod adapters with this unit? I am looking at Leica TA360 adapter and Leica TRI 100 Tripod. please share any experience!

Yes, the unit has a standard camera mount on the lower back and both of those tripod will work...

There is a PDF on Leica's site that indicates that the offset has to be changed to a negative 2 9/16" if using a D5, D8 or E700i. I have a D8 and it's several steps and you have to remember to change it back. It looks like only the D810 touch is designed to work with the leica tripod adapter FTA360. http://www.leica-geosystems.com/en/Adapters-and-Clamps_90104.htm

There is a screw on the underside of the unit for attaching to a tripod. It looks like a standard 1/4" camera screw found on most tripods made in the US. I heve never used it with a tripod but buying a Leica tripod and adapter seems like the best bet for insuring comparability.

The others are correct. The threads are those on a standard camera tripod so you can use one of those if you have one. Since the rotation center doesn't match the reference point on the Disto, your distance measurements will be 'off' as you rotate the unit vertically to hit a target. The fine adjustment adapter seems to have been designed for an earlier model Disto, so I don't know how much the accuracy would be improved. IMHO, this adapter is too expensive to be be inaccurate; Leica should introduce one for the latest generation of Distos.

Thank you for your inquiry. You can mount a DSLR on the tripod - it has the standard 1/4"-20 threaded post that is found on most photographic tripods. The tripod is fairly light weight and you should check for stability when you have attached your DSLR.

No, I ended up returning the tripod. I did have great luck with Ravelli APLT2 49". Used it on a trip and it worked great,

You should be able to use any camcorder. The "platten" that the camcorder attaches to has the larger less common screw out of the package, but there is the more common and smaller screw included. It's simple to change the screws. A camcorder is dwarfed by this tripod, but the tripod is GREAT! I have never liked my previous tripods, and this one is awesome.

Check out this video on youtube. All the tripods are pretty similar. You just have to play with it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfGblSGuHsA

Yes!.. there a screw on top of the unit that attaches to your camera and there is a screw threadunderneath where any(Standard) tripod screw will fit.

I mounted a bridge camera using the supplied 1/4" adapter. That worked fine.But as some of the other questions have alluded to, the tripod is a little bit shaky. It is very light weight.

I have had no problems with the tripod. in fact, I even used it on a beach with some wind and pictures came out fine. And I have Nikon D90. Good luck

Yes -- I've used it twice now for presentations and I'm amazed at how easy it is to use and how well it works. Just one thing though. I have a tri-pod from an old camera I use to set it up and I think this works better than the tiny tripod that is supplied. Just FYI

No...the adapter is separate. It mounts to any standard tripod, which are very reasonably priced.

Yes, I got this and it works great. Note&gt; the tripod broke off at base due to to thin machining. but works altho flimsy. other than that I have no complaints. don't count on a great tripod!!!

I've used it with a Nikon P300 using the standard sized tripod screw point. Camera size and weight may be more relevant as an issue, such that a proper tripod (short if on same table) is needed. Should work fine for most compact cameras and SLRs with moderate lenses.

Yes you can attach a tri-pod. It has the screw slot you need. Standard for cameras.

This has the standard 1/4 - 20 thread size and I haven't had any problems attaching anything to it. If the male threads on your tripod is larger than 1/4 - 20 you could buy an adapter for around a buck or so and I'm thinking it would work. I'm using an Alta Pro 264AT with a Vanguard SBH-250 head and a Canon 50D. Sometimes this combination is not as solid as I'd like but I can work with it. It does work very well for fine tuning macro focus and for taking multiple focus stack macro photos. I've been thinking about using it to take some 3D macro images by moving the camera left and right. I think this is a pretty good tool for the money.

I never attached any tripod yet. I think a regular tripod will work just grate, if you put a tripod base it may be not look well depending the tripod base. Other than that, grip is perfect and is always on my camera.

Not an issue for me. Are you sure you have the standard U.S. tripod mount threads? If not, you may need an adapter available from most camera supply stores.

I believe you can. The part the camera screws into is flat except for the screw. As long as your camera has the screw hole to accommodate it, the tripod should work.
