Can I hold on to the grip and put my camera on the other end to take photos and videos of myself? Also, is this monopod waterproof?

Why would you want the grip on the part near the ground? This is a monopod. One end on a camera well off the ground, the other end on the ground or floor. I guess I don't understand why so many people want to mount the camera on the part that goes on the floor. It boggles my mind! Look at the reviews. Many people are deducting stars because they can't mount the camera on the foot of this monopod.

No its not possible to hold on to the grip and place ur camera at the other end. It doesnt have the functionality to do so. This is not one of those monopods that you can take selfies with. And when you mean it can get wet and will not hinder its functions? Then yes

Yes ;) but you have to buy another Gopro accessorie to attach the monopod to the camera...

Yes you can take pictures. No, it can't stay underwater without leaking. Do NOT trust this case to be waterproof. My iPod got ruined from this false advertised piece of junk!!

There are no special accessories or holes to attach this to a monopod/selfie stick...it is meant for handheld use only. I imagine you can just buy some Velcro straps to attach by improvisation.

The cameras position is fixed but you can easily spin around the the entire monopod 360 degrees, there is a metal point at the bottom that allow this.

I really enjoy this monopod. I have had no problems and I use it regularly. Hopefully the company can resolve your issue.

Mine was a legit Nikon Grip. I think third parties make grips for it but dont claim they are made by Nikon, unless you know something I dont? I read the other answer and mine was none of that. I also bought from Beach Camera through Amazon, they are a solid company I bought many Nikon items from!

Yes, there is a built in nut on the bottom of screw that goes into your camera on the grip's lower part, so if you have a quick - detachable tripod head this allows you to switch between your tripod and hand grip quickly and easily.

Don't detach the rubber tip. It's a mono pod - not a tripod - so you'll have to hold on to it or lean it against something. You'll also need the GoPro tripod mount/adapter (sold separately) that goes on the other end where the foam handle is. It's not really intended for a GoPro - but you can make it work if you want.

ABSOLUTELY...you'll have to mount it on something though. It's not really meant for holding, though I guess you could. This is great for hands free videoing.

No, the camera will not go into the fitted case with the grip attached (held on with self-stick tape).

You could close the tripod and push the legs together and carry it around like a monopod , but it is not a monopod. If you really want a monopod I would suggest a Dolica WT-1003. Its lightweight, aluminum and very easy to pack or carry around for photo shoots. It has a screw on the base to stablize the monopod to prevent slipping on surfaces and it has worked fine for me. The price was around 20.00 and reasonable. It comes with its own canvas bag and it slips into your luggage very easily. If you use a ipad for pictures, you can also purchase a frame for it that attaches to the top for a few dollars more and it is handy when you don't want to use the camera.

The foot is pinned on the bottom of the monopod and is not designed to be removed. I would guess that if you have a well equipped shop, you could remove the rubber foot and spike and replace it with a stud or bolt to accept an additional camera. It would probably ruin the monopod though.

What do you mean by hand grip slot? It's flat on the bottom with threads for a tripod, monopod, or whatever you might want to screw in. Lol.

No. The grip is meant for preventing minor damage from dings and dents. It will not help protect the camera from water.

It's made of aluminum alloy, plastic, a nylon strap and a foam rubber grip. I'm not sure what you're concerned about. It could be submerged in water or rained on for days and it wouldn't affect its operation, other than making the foam a bit squishy -- but even that will dry out readily. It's purely mechanical, with no electronic components. Waterproofing just isn't a factor you need to be concerned about with the monopod. It's just a collapsable stick to help steady your shots. If you're shooting in the rain, be sure to protect your camera with a plastic rain cover. There are many to choose from that vary in cost from $6.50 (from Op/Tech) up to several hundred dollars. Keeping rain out of your camera is VERY important to protect its valuable electronics. Your monopod can get drenched and mud-splattered without harm, and be good as new with a wipedown with a dry cloth or towel.

You can't, easily. It is a stand-alone monopod. For stationary photos without holding, you will need a normal tripod. This is for camera stabilization when you have your hands on the camera. I would consider this item "in addition to" a tri-pod in your camera kit.
