Do you have to have the tripod attached?

No, it is not absolutely necessary, but you will need to steady the phone/camera as you do on any telephoto setup.
1528884
NO, not necessarily. I've had some nice results just by holding my phone steadily.
1528885
Yes. Using the tripod is the only way to get a steady shot without propping the lens on something else.
1528886
No, although the tripod is a convenient hand hold. But it works just as well without the tripod.

I have shot photos with the lens attached, hand-held. In a bright, outdoor setting you can get sharp photos but any movement can blur the image and in low-light, forget it. Using the tripod, either the one that comes with it, a Gorilla pod or any other tripod is the best way to go. The lens is a long telephone and to get the sharpest photos, a tripod is recommended. In fact, I have found the quality of the lens to be very good. Any image problems are usually a result of movement while taking the photo.

It did not but I . was able to use the one that came with my tripod camera attachments. :)

Yes, you should be able to connect to a tripod as the screw that holds the camera on the bracket has a threaded hole on the underside.

Yes, this can be mounted on a tripod, but once is on the rig, you have to move the rig in order to move the camera, the camera remains attached to the rig

No. It is also a female screw which allows you to attach it to a quick release plate for your tripod head.

Not really. I have to unscrew two screws from the Opteka base plate before I can attach to the tripod. Only takes less than a minute but sometimes annoying.

No. It doesn't come with tripod and you need to buy them separately. But it has the possibility to set up on 2 light stand, too.

Yes. It has a hole ar the bottom together with a knob to tighthen the tripod

You could get away without one, screw the camera directly onto the slide, but you won't be able to tilt, pan, etc. A tripod head makes it a lot more flexible and easier to mount the camera.

Actually, it has a hook, attached to an elastic band inside one left of the tripod. I've always wondered what it was for- you have now answered that question! The tripod is substantial- I've never felt the need for anchoring.
94016
Yes. The kit includes a hard case that allows you to manipulate the tripod attachment as needed

No the tripod must be a separate purchase. DU to the weight of binoculars purchase a strong and steady bipod.
386342
Yes, you can. It has it's own tripod stand, it does not get anchored into the ground.

No it doesn't. I believe that since most tripods do, they didn't think it necessary.

It does have a tripod attachment. You can use any standard tripod on the market. Wal-Mart, or any store with a photo department will have a good selection of tripods to choose from.

Yes you can. In fact in my experience it works better by attaching it to a tripod.

You dont need a tripod for the light, but you do need a ligh stand, if not you can place it in between the camera and the tripod screw :)
