Can the D800 be mounted to a tripod with this grip attached to it?

It has a 1/4-20 standard thread insert, but it would be pretty heavy. I would not use a large, heavy lens if you are going to attach the battery grip to a tripod. In that case the weight would transfer all the stress to the attachment between the grip and the camera body.

I am using the Vivitar version of this and as far as I can see, there is no difference other than the price. I have not only mounted this on a tripod, but also a monopod.

Timothy, I have no problem attaching the Rail 4 Fotodiox to the tripod's screw. There are two holes at the base plate that can be used equally to connect the rail to it. You may want to check and make sure that it will fit on another tripod just in case the one you are using now is not working properly. Make sure you attach the rail first, then the camera to it.

I believe almost all cameras use the standard screw mount for attaching to a tripod. I can't answer 100%, but I would be very surprised if your particular camera wasn't compatible.

As far as I know, you can't attach it to the tripod. Other than that, I haven't really used it. I found it too difficult to get the weight right.

Yes. It does have a standard mount for a tripod screw. I myself use it like this.

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.

Yes it accomodates D800. We just used it on a crazy TV production. The height is not adjustable but we had no issues with that. Enjoy.

Yes, the device has 3 threaded 1/4-20 holes in the bottom for attachment to a tripod or other support. Two holes line up perfectly for the pop up alignment knob that is on many tripod plates. Be aware that it may change the center position of the camera depending on the model of camera. On the D800 it actually corrected the center position to dead center of the camera, so it was a good thing.

Yes the grip dose have a tripod mount on the bottom. But I don't like the small side cord for the vertical shutter button. I use it with out, which is not what I intended. As fare as the batteries.. They don't hold a charge for more then 3 hours. I went out and got the Nikon ones.

Yes.Tripods come with clamps that screw into the bottom of the bracket & fits on top of tripod with quick release.

Yes. I have a D800 and D610. Be advised that shorter prime lens require the camera to be placed further into the mount. This makes your trigger-finger and grip almost impossible to hold. But you get use to it.

yes but that is not reccomended. if you are holding it with your hands instead of tripod mounting it its lack of mobility will have you dead real quick

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

None. There is no specific tripod mount feature. You'd just have to rest it on something.

Yes it should fit the travel angle tripod. It will support the D80 with the current 70-300mm (plastic) I sometimes use an older 75-300 (metal) with an F100 this combo is much heavier than your set-up, you should have no problems.

Yes, it can be connected to any standard tripod. I attach mine to a tripod to gain extra height. This arm is fairly expensive, but it is all metal construction. If you are using a heavy camera, there is a double arm model available.

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.
