How easy is it to put on / remove to access battery and SD cards? Can this be used with a tripod mount?

There is no need to remove cover to access battery or SD Cards. There are cut-out for them. As for the tripod mount it depends on the mount itself, the one that I use works with a little finessing.

The battery is still accessible. There is not bottom. It stays open. And yes it can be used with a tripod. I live by the ocean and this skin has protected by my cameras for years.

I purchased two of these one for the d90 and the other for the D 7100. I started with my d90 first I have battery packs on both cameras you cannot use these without modifying them if you have a battery pack to answer your first question yes you should have no problem getting to your battery if you don't use a battery pack. So I have not yet installed this on my D 7100 I have found on numerous occasions with my d90 that the camera acts weird with it on. I was in the middle of taking pictures and had to pull it off just to get the camera to operate correctly. So I'm not sure if somehow the rubber was pressing a button or was covering something up the need not be covered. Also yes you can attach your camera tripod without having to remove the cover. These covers are cheap so if you ask me give it a try you might have to do like I have and take an exacto knife and trim rubber thats in your way. It seems as though the other folks like it. Currently mine is sitteg balled up in my camera bag from the last time it caused me grief. Good luck

Love it. Very easy to install and remove. Does not affect access to SD cards or battery. Use mine with both a tripod and mono pod. Have had these on all my Nikon's and the really do protect the camera against accidental damage.

Mackman,Very easy to put on, access batteries, both sd cards and tripod mount. I give it hi marks all around. Best of luck.

Fairly easy to put on. A little stretching required but easy enough. Access to battery and SD cards same as before. This cover does not effect that. Yes it can be used with a tripod. I do it all the time. Hope this helps.

Yes, it works fine with a tripod. There is a screw that holds the battery case to the camera via the original tripod holder, then the battery case had a new fastener hole in the bottom.

The socket is not centered on the camera. You can change the battery without removing the camera from the tripod. That is if the tripod platform is normal size.

The SD card slot is located inside the camera, you have to remove 4 screws and the back cover to get to it.

Yes with this system you can either remove the included Plate holder mount , or you can do like me and put a plate on the bottom of a head and use it either way with or without Tripod head I like doing it this way for versatility.

I dont think you can replace the battery.... The camera is sealed. The waterproof case has the same sistem to attach the other mounts, so you can use it everywhere....

From the only photo of the bottom, it is hard to tell how far the cover will stretch to allow the battery compartment to open and remove the SD card. However, if you use the USB cable to transfer photos, why would you want to remove the card on a regular basis? You would also need to stretch the cover in order to access the HDMI port.

Hello,You need to take off the back. There is a slot next to the battery to insert the SD card.

hi Christinethe tripod has a removable mount that is pretty universal with still, digital and video cameras alike. there should be a slot on the bottom of your camera where you can screw in a post. that post is attached to a mount which connects to (and is removable from) the tripod. I don't ever remove the mount from My camera. I just use the quick release and take the camera and mount. hope this helped!

Simply remove the battery compartment cover on the camera. Store it in the extension of the grip that sticks up. Take the battery out of the camera. Place the extension that you just stored the cover into the camera. Use the tripod screw to secure the connection. Put batteries in the grip and you're good to go.

Too easy. You screw a small bracket into bottom of camera. Then it can quick snap into tripod. Thought it was good deal.

Actually you just unclip the top of the case (it fastens with a popper) and plug right in to the wall. what you can't do is take out the battery (or sim card) which is removed from the bottom of the camera - the case has to be taken off for that but it only takes seconds to undo & re-do the bottom section of the case in any event

You just pull the end of each leg (or all three together) out to full length, then rotate each a partial turn to latch it. Position the legs as you want, and the tripod is standing. I just timed it; it takes about fifteen seconds, not counting mounting the camera on the tripod, like any other tripod. If you want to use the tripod at less than full height, you have to shorten one leg at a time by holding the penultimate segment, pressing the latch button, and pushing the last segment in, then repeating for each of the additional segments you want to push in, and then for the other legs. I shortened all three legs by three segments; it took about 25 seconds. To break the tripod down, you grab one leg, rotate it a partial turn to release the latch, then push it in. Ten seconds, not counting the time to remove the camera (like any other tripod) and slip it into the carrying bag. This design (there are numerous makers of similar tripods) is not as rigid as many others, but it is very small, light, and fast to work with. Also cheap. And while it is a little bendy, there are no cheesy plastic cam latches to break, as on many other types of portable tripods. The latches are metal springs safely inside the tubular legs. These are not studio tripods, but when you need portability on a budget, they (or similar ones by other makers) are hard to beat.

You screw a little widget that comes with the tripod into the camera. The little widget makes the tripod quick release. I just leave the widget on the camera all the time.

Remove the battery door(cover)The sd card slot is just to the left of the lower camera lens.

I should have said. Holding the camera upside down place your thumb on the black slider bar and push away from you at the same exert pressure with that thumb sliding the entire gray battery cover about 1/2" to the side where the cover will raise up on hinges and a spring giving you access to the four AA bateries and the replaceable memory SD.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.
