Will this lets me take portrait (vertical) pictures on a tripod with my Nikon D5200?

The bracket doesn't have much to do vertical shooting on tripod. As long was the tripod is durable or if you have sandbags to hold the tripod down, there wouldn't be a problem. It has to do with the weight of the camera in addition to the bracket. If the tripod isn't durable, the camera weight will tilt the entire tripod and possibly damage your dslr. Best, TechNeek

Probably not, The two upper mounts are like the flash (shoe) mount on top of DSLR cameras. They are intended to hold 1 or 2 accessories that can attach to a shoe mount (external flash, microphone, etc.) The lower mount attaches to the camera (male thread) and a tripod (female thread). If you haven't already gotten a tripod, consider selecting one that allows the camera mount base to flip & lock 90 degrees in the portrait position.

Nope. Only tripod connector is on the bottom. You either need a tripod that lets you turn the head sideways (my larger Bogen one does) or a basic "L" bracket. May even come up with something from Home Depot if you are the crafty type. Remember, camera and tripod standard screws are 1/4"-20 so they are easy to find in the hardware store.

No. The other responders have it right. This bracket is for hand held use and has shows for portrait and landscape orientation. For tripod mounted portrait shooting you need a special bracket that will prevent your camera from rotating on the set screw. They aren't inexpensive as I recall.

Sorry, but I'm not sure. I'd use the Joby 3-Way Camera for a wile and than I have changed my camera for a new one. I had no opportunity to try to mount it on a tripod.

Yes, it can. It has a standard screw fitting and works on most of their tripods.

I have a Nikon D800. I was shooting some fireworks and wanted to shoot portrait. The weight of the camera kept moving the ball joint past horizontal. The tripod is sturdy, the monopode works well, but the ball joint is weak. Landscape OK, portrait not OK.

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.

This product is ONLY useful for making panoramas with the camera in the vertical or "portrait" orientation. It will work with any camera that has a standard tripod receptacle which I believe your camera has. It is good for its intended purpose. However, it has very limited utility and a standard ball head will be more practical for most photographers.

Yes. I use it on a tripod all the time. I especially use it when I want to get into the picture. This is a great 3D/2D camera for the money.

I have a Nikon D90 I am not 100% sure if the same rotating flash will fit on your Nikon D5200

It has a ball head so you can turn the head 90 degrees to orient the camera vertically. As long as you don't have the legs spread so far out that you can't tilt it all the way you will be fine.

I have a Nikon 5100 and it works great. The 5200 is almost identical it the areas where the Hoodman attaches and there is enough adjustment that it should work fine.

Dimi, I´m sorry I do not have the Nikon D5200 camera. I tested with the D80 and D7000 and Works pretty well.

Dont know but mines worked with a sony cx500v camcorder it connects yo the camcorder and certain things can be controlled directlly from the tripod itself

If the camera has a tripod screw receptacle underneath, it will work. Amazingly sturdy for a light weight travel tripod. I love it.

Yes. Your camera has a 1/4-20 socket on the bottom so it will work fine with your camera. Another note: the tripod is light weight which is great for carrying it around but not so much when you're wanting a rock solid shooting platform. A plus for this tripod is that it has a hook on the bottom of the center column. So if you want a really stable tripod you can hang something heavy from the hook. A bungee tie down cord hooked to something heavy works great. Good luck.

It would be very helpful to have a camera mount head that allows for vertical up-and-down focusing. I already had a spare camera mount head that I attached to the monopod.

Yes, it can. I can't test it on any of my cameras because their tripod mounts are all on the bottom.
