I used it with a Nikon D3300 for video. The menu provides a lot of adjustment options and the picture is pretty good.

I have shot video clips with this very successfully. Works best with no movement of the tripod during shooting. If you use it to move around while filming, get some practice putting right amount of drag on, so you can move fluid and smooth yet still have good control.... works excellent!

Yes, it has no focus of its own and relies on the auto-focus of the lens you attach to it. It should work fine with the D5300.

I don't really know if works with D5200. I have nikon D7000 and works nicely. As owner of this beautiful cool LCD HD2 7INCH, I begin to realize how useful this device is as a film maker.

I have used it with my Nikon d5100 and up to a 55mm-300mm lens. It worked decently well for a compact tripod to take on the hike in my camera bag. I would suggest a remote release with it though.

It does fine, but I haven't been to impressed with the autofocus in video with it. Manual focus is too slow for video. I would suggest going with a higher end lens for video.

I have been using mine to record meetings (2 hrs.+/-) and it has done well when using tripod. Sound pickup is pretty good if there are no other noises in the immediate area. Make sure there is adequate lighting on subject. Wish it had a remote for operation (mine does not). Have not tried to Youtube anything (not my intent or purpose), but manual says it's an easy do. I have a dinosaur laptop so downloading and editing is a bit of a chore. Camera does take great stills and freeze frames.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

I use it on my 5D Mkii and 7D and it works pretty well in conjunction with my image stabilized lenses. Still needs some warp stabilizing in Premier to smooth out a bit. But makes very smooth (almost) movie quality transitions.

I would say , try it but it does not work on the camera that I wanted it for. IT was indicated that it would fit . (IT does not fit on my D5200.

I don't have a 5200, but it works with my D700, D7000, and D90. So I would think it would work with any Nikon DSLR that has a pop-up flash. However, as a previous answer points out, the D5200 doesn't have a commander function, so there would be no point to using it on a D5200. The purpose of this item is to block visible light from the pop-up when using the pop-up to trigger off-camera CLS compatible flash units. The D5200's pop-up cannot trigger off-camera CLS compatible flashes, as far as I know. Check your camera manual to make sure.

I use it for my 60D, and it works like a champ. My speciality is night long exposure photos, and it rock solid. I've used it for video, but not with a special head, but it worked fine.

I have a Nikon D5300 with a AF-S 18-300 DX. Works great with moderate lighting and above. AF still works and is a great cost effective way to add extra reach. It softens the picture a little bit with large prints. So far it's been a great little gadget.
