If you pick up the L-bracket that usually shows when buying this product, you should be able to.

Small point n shoot will be held just fine. As you can see from the pic, when you extend the stick if the camera is too heavy, the stick might rotate.

Yes, you can. Just make sure the belt you use is strong enough to handle the weight of your camera.

yes you can as long it (the tripod) is wrapped around a pole or object. the camera cannot be vertical with the tripod standing.

Yes, it has the ability to. I searched for and downloaded a webcam program to do more stuff, but by itself, yes you can take pictures.

No...im sure you can jerry rig it to work somehow. But they way in swivels it only work with a regular camera in the right position. you cant take pics the long way because the arm will give out and swivel so the camera is on the bottom. it won't hold it upright on the side. if that makes sense

Yes. You can use your phone as usual - everything is accessible including the camera.

If that is your intent, there is an external intervalometer that handles the shutter release. You can use the wall power without the grip. I have both. The set up and work the same way, just one plugs into the remote control plug on the side of the camera and the other mounts in the battery slot. http://www.amazon.com/Neewer%C2%AE-Shutter-Release-Control-Hasselblad/dp/B003Q9RERY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397737835&sr=8-1&keywords=intervalometer

Yes you can hold it, I've not seen special brackets specific for hand holding it.

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

With a camera, you should be able to grip the camera and press the shutter release in the same way you would without the monopod.I'm using mine with a cell phone (with an adapter) so I bought a cheap bluetooth remote trigger to avoid jiggling when taking the picture. I grip the monopod in one hand and the remote trigger in the other the way I'm doing it.If you're looking for a pole to take "selfies" with, this monopod is not what you want. A bluetooth remote would also be handy though with a selfie pole.

Yes, but you'll need to take your hand out of the strap if you want to use the shutter on the vertical grip. I just keep my hand strapped in and use the camera's shutter button when I'm out and about and using this strap. I use the grip for the extra battery and only use the grip's shutter when I'm shooting indoors or using my BlackRapid strap for security.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

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.

I suppose you could if you take the camera mount off. But I brought mine specifically for my camera

Yes you can. My wife has the camera today, otherwise I would tell you how, but I kinda have to do it.

I assume you are wanting to reposition it. So it's a no on that Q. Because of the nature of inertially balanced steadicams the original hand hold is locked at the center of gravity ( CoG only when the camera is on the thing). Sorry bro. You really shouldn't need to move the handle though.
