What is "manual" mode? I just bought this and can see no way to tilt the camera independently

The way you can tilt the camera while its on the jib is by the hand bar at the end..

When you go up and down you're tillting, plus I made second line from the pole to the pulley, look at how you can make adjustments manually as well

Sorry for the delay but I bought this for my son and I had to get in touch with him to get the answer. He says that he had to buy a robust Ball Head that would hold the weight in order for this to work successfully. The ball head also allows you to tilt and move the camera as you want to. I hope this helps you with your problem.

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

The round "rocker switch" on the rear gives options for disabling features. Press the edge (left or right) and you'll see various icons onscreen with the option to disable (...best I recall, pressing left side disables & right side resets?). Play around with that control a bit & you'll see what I mean. The system defaults when you turn the camera off, so you can't screw anything up by "experimenting";-). Hope that helps!

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

Yeah it's pretty tricky. Last time I tilted the screen first before the tripod. You can unlock the screen by pulling on the round black button. Once out of the way just push the red button to get the tripod out.

Hello Tachi1Yes, most digital cameras must be set to Manual (M) or Semi-Manual (P) modes when using manual lenses or adapted lenses.No auto features are supported, thank you!

I googled the company name who made the product; mine was different, and then user forums for their product and found someone posted the fix which required release without setup to be enabled. It works fine after that, and allows me to use some great minolta manual lenses, no auto focus.

Turning the wheel on top to 'M' allows for manually setting shutter speed and etc. with the built in software. I've never used it but it can be done.

sorry that it can't work for menus on a 70D and can't be used in off-camera slave mode

Good Morning. Unfortunately I use the manual mode only. I saw an adaptation in this video. Hope that helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYwk90ay95A

Not sure anymore. This was my first camera I purchased and don't have reference to the menu or instructions anymore. I would set it at its highest setting and work down from there. I now purchased a dual camera cam and like it much better. Nothing wrong with the one you bought, I burnt mine up with the wrong cord, my bad.

1. Yes. I did RTFM. 2. Get into your Nikon's menu and go to where the self-timer settings are. On my D5100 it is called "Release Mode". If you find one or two settings for "Remote Control Mode", select one. Turn on the camera. Stand in front of the camera. Aim the ML-L3 at the camera. Smile. Push the remote button. View picture. 3. It has two uses: To include yourself in a picture without having to run like hell after you press the shutter release, and to release the shutter gently so you don't shake the camera and blur the picture. My D5100 has a second sensor on the back for this purpose. 4. Because "useless" and "junk" depend on the customer. About 32 reviewers out of 41 seem to have found a use for it. I also am interested: How did you come to acquire this piece of crap?

You can manually tilt it but it does not do any of the other things. There has been times when we have moved the camera then when the kids are sleeping we have realized it's not on the kids. Kind of a pain, we have to creep into the room to move it.

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.

yes, there is a setting called manual mode with shutter speed and aperture. Each setting shows directions for that setting or explains the setting on the screen. We have not begun to use all of the choices, so cannot say how well they work, but take into account that the camera is a $100 camera. We are getting decent pictures from a camera which I am willing to allow my children to try their hands at different settings and pictures, all with digital, so they can be printed or deleted. It is solid and easy to hold. and handle
