Can I attach this to the bottom of my Sony PJ540 camcorder and then attach both to my tripod or do I need an adapter?

Yes but that is kind of backwards this seas made to fit in the hot shoe adapter.

You can not connect this to that camera without an adapter. The adapter resembles the bottom portion of a hot shoe. It can screw into the camera and slide onto the bracket. You would need something like this http://www.holditarm.com/hot_shoe.php

Your tripod should come with a base that has a 1/4" threaded stud/bolt in it to attach to the bottom of a camera. The bottom of the movie mount has the 1/4" threaded insert to receive that stud/bolt.You shouldn't need anything more.

I have used it with my Sony Handycam HDR-PJ790. It screws into the bottom of the camera.

While I'm not 100% sure, I'm fairly certain you need a special attachment for a camera. It does use a standard tripod mount.

It would have to be for the camcorder you need it for. I got one for a sony and it works great.

Yes - no adapter needed. The plate will screw into the bottom of the camera, then you slide and secure the plate to the monopod.

Yes, you can still attach the camera to a tripod. The cord sticks out the corner of the battery door on the side of the camera near the SD card reader.

Attach the bottom to the camera and then snap on the top. It will not work with any accessories attached to the camera.

You need an extra adapter to attach the camera to the pole ! Look for it here in amazon

I don't have that adapter, but from the picture, it looks like you have the one where you can mount the adapter to a tripod (used when you have a very heavy lens attached to your camera and which then will provide better balance).

your camera's mount point should work with this tripod. you will need a coin or something to tighten up the quick release that attaches to the pod. hope this helps

Just bought this product. Yes. You can mount this on a regular tripod for camera and camcorder.

No. The adapter itself has a female screw hole. This adapter is designed to allow you to attach a flash or light to a tripod in the same fashion that you'd attach a camcorder or camera to a tripod.

I don't know. I purchased it for a JVC camcorder, and it works very well with the standard tripod well. When I purchased it, I wasn't sure if it would work, but I took a chance, because it was inexpensive. It does fit.Sorry that I can't be of any more assistance.

You should be able to use any camcorder. The "platten" that the camcorder attaches to has the larger less common screw out of the package, but there is the more common and smaller screw included. It's simple to change the screws. A camcorder is dwarfed by this tripod, but the tripod is GREAT! I have never liked my previous tripods, and this one is awesome.

Hi Judith, this Sony HDRPJ540B will work on the Sony Tripod VCT-VPR1. It uses multi-terminal connection which is compatible with the camcorder. -Ely

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
