What if I would like to take a VERTICAL picture with my Nikon D750 + 24-120mm lens? I have not seen an example where the camera is vertical?

It has a ball head so you can turn the head 90 degrees to orient the camera vertically. As long as you don't have the legs spread so far out that you can't tilt it all the way you will be fine.

Yea you can. It has a notch to be able to rotate the ball for vertical pics. Just my opinion, but I loved the gorilla pod for my point and shoot but don't really care for this version for my D5300. You're really better off with a decent, small tripod.

I have a Canon of similar size and weight and it isn't really possible to use it vertically if you are simply resting the feet on a flat surface. It is totally possible to use it to take vertical picts if you are wrapping the feet around something like a railing, a limb or similar. It's all a balance thing. It is plenty strong.

You can absolutely take vertical pictures as the tripod rotates around 270 degrees I believe. Buy this product. It is great quality and you will not be disappointed with the versatility of the gorilla pod

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

The tripod is movement versatil, but vertical it is not! There is one option, try wrapping the legs around a vertical object (ie: fence post, sign post or maybe a mailbox post.) Even a small tree! The object does not need be totally vertical, just enough to get the lens set the way you want it.

It has multiple threads for tripods on both ends for a horizontal setup. However, not for vertical.

I find it somewhat cumbersome holding the cover side out of the way to take a pic horizontal but vertically not a problem. Hope this helps.

Im not sure about the D750 but I do think they all have the same port. The device attaches via the GPS port. I use it on my D90 and D7000 and I do think the D750 has the same design GPS port so it is possible.

I have only used it horizontallly.... This camera shoots much better with the sound and stabilization than my old Stylu, I love it!

Yes, it can be used vertically so long as what ever you're mounting it to can be configured to support the slider. It has three places where a tripod can be mounted so as long as your tripod has a tilt head, the slider can tilt with it. This slider, for me at least, is a disappointment though. The little rubber feet (meant to keep it still on a slippery surface) wobble so much that I had to take them off. Perhaps It's designed with that option in mind though.

That depends on your camera and what angle you are aiming for, it would be hard to get a totally downward shot say 90 degrees because of the legs, but if you open the legs and reduce the height of the tripod you may depending on the lens that you are using. Remember this is just like any normal tripod and you don't say what your angle would be.

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

Well, I look at it this way - the only time the battery dies is when you have a great shot in the viewfinder! As for the disadvantages, it adds weight to your camera...much more than a couple extra batteries. The AA thing is nice, tho, you can find them anywhere. I have MB-D10 on my D7100, but not on my D610. The reason being that they both use the same battery. So, if the weight isn't an issue, having the additional set of controls when shooting verticals is great. Even if you don't have it on the camera all of the time, you still have plenty of extra power. I think it is well worth it.

Ive actually returned this camera and ended getting a Nikon D7000 w Lens 18-140mm so I didnt have to constantly worry of changing the lens. Find those type of camera without the struggle of changing lens!

I don't know anything about Nikon's MB-D12 except that it cost too much for me to own. That is why I purchased the Pixel Vertical Battery Grip which has served me well.

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

I'm 6' 2" and the viewfinder on my D7100 is right at eye level when fully extended. I need to stand on my tiptoes to be able to read the control panel on the top of the camera when it is fully extended.

Still pictures will display vertically in the camera display screen if taken that way, but this does not happen with videos. I usually download pictures and rotate them on the computer for projects, but I was unable to rotate downloaded video taken with this camera. I see nothing on the camera that enables rotation of video once taken either.

It can get in the way for vertical shots. I've gotten used to manuevering around it though and it's not a big deal.

I'm 5'-11" and if I extend the legs and the center to their absolute maximum reaches, I can look through my viewfinder while standing stright up. Of course that's inside the house on an absolutely level floor. If your 6'-4" you'd need to lean over a little bit. Plus you need to consider outdoor photography on less than perfectly level ground, causing you to lean over even more. I'd say a tripod would need about 12" more "reach" for you to use it comfortably. I'd say, No, it won't work for you. You might try to research the Vanguard website because the 264AT is absolutely awesome for my uses.

Just horizontaly, unless your tripod is a "jobi" style (as pictured) and can grab onto something "sideways" to allow pictures to be oriented vertically (portrait) vs horizontally (landscape).
