can you superclamp this to a desk to show overhead shots? Or do you need to attach it to a tripod first?

Yes, the arm comes with a pin to attach to a super clamp, however, it is best used for a flash and not a heavy camera. Perhaps a smallish mirrorless would be okay (I'd probably attach one of my fuji's, but not my Canon), but it's not the strongest arm out there.

You can definitely superclamp this to a desk. Both ends have the standard stud/pin/spigot on it. One with a female 1/4" thread and one with a 3/8 thread. The camera mount comes off and can go on either end.Pay attention to the dimensions and the weight rating as this arm is not rated to hold much weight at full extension. Make sure it will hold your planned camera.

You can clamp this down on an edge with a lip. Manfrotto has different options to secure the articulating arm. Consider this as an option if it is the right sizeManfrotto 035 Super Clamp without Stud - Replaces 2915

Yes - it's designed to be attached to a *tripod* or perhaps you'd use a Mono-pod, as I have occasionally. There's a ZOOM "Bundle" available that includes a *tripod*, however you may want to supplant it with yet another TALL tripod sometimes.

Looking at the product photos, you will see the crane is attached at the bottom to a quick release plate of a video head. I presume it will require a 3/8" threaded connection, which is standard for tripods. You can attach it directly to your tripod, but you won't have as many options for leveling the crane. Be advised that you will need a fairly strong and stable tripod to support the crane, counter weights and camera. When extended, the crane exerts a lot of torque on the tripod connection.

No I do not think the legs on this unit are strong enough for your setup. Go with a higher quality tripod such as Really Right Stuff.

It should work. The only concern I would have is the weight. The tripod is sturdy but I wouldn't want anything over 5 pounds on it. I use my tripod with a spotting scope. There is still a little vibration when the center column is extended. If you were planning on using it for video I would go for something a little more heavy duty.

You can mount it. I suggest having a sturdy tripod though. Just because of the size and weight of the product. It is extremely well built and it's beautiful.

Yes, the camera can be mounted on a standard tripod. It has the recessed screw. I use it with my Cloud Dome for jewelry photography and it works great. I like using my iPad so I can have a larger view of the jewelry. Love this camera. Very easy to use, portable, and high quality images. Highly recommend.

No, you really need a tripod with this. It works fine, no problems. The upgrade lens is the 150-600mm which is image stabilized.

You will need to buy a fitting so that your tripod can mount to it. That's what I had to do but it wasn't expensive

Yes, you can connect this onto your Tripod mount. It uses a stand 1/4" 20 connection.

Yes, you can....just tried it out...just unscrew the hook at the end of the center column, release the tension ring and invert the center column. This truly is a nice tripod. Hope that answers your question:)

Yes, start at 20 power and zoom up to 60 power.anything over 40 power needs to be very stable. Like a solid tripod.

That has been my experience also. The tripod does not adjust for viewing directly overhead.

None I can think of aside from making sure the tripod screw is near center. There is some room for lateral adjustment but if it were too far to one edge, it may not work.

Yes, It's a tripod. But dont' use it. Get a stable stand. The tripod is not stable

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

I just got it shipped in not too long ago and to answer your question you would need an attachment that screws onto a monopod. I haven't had the pole longer than a week and it already broke when I opened extended it. So I recommend maybe getting a pole with a little more value so you can enjoy filming for a little longer than I did
