My pip is to skinny for my tripod what can I do

tripod should have 3 bolts that can be tightened to hold a range of pipe diameters. if bolts don't reach pipe, replace with longer bolts.

I used duct tape wrapped around the pole to create a tight fit then drilled a hole through the tripod and pole and used a bolt washer and lock washer and nut and it made it very sturdy so it didn't move. Worked for me and was inexpensive.

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

Don't really know anything about tripods for standing but I have a Silk Mini Pro V that I use as a tabletop tripod.

You will need to level the tilt lever of your Tripod to adjust that much. Please check the attach image (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41pyVBxdYML.jpg)

I hope you have figured it out by now but if not try pushing the top of the tripod legs down as far as they will go then lock them in place.

Your issue is that the male threads on the tripod are 3/8" and the female threads in the camera body are 1/4". Like everyone else says you will need to get a head (ball, pan/tilt or my personal favorite pistol grip) so the camera will fit. See the "frequently bought together" or "customers who bought this item also bought" sections.

It was a long time ago that I bought that thing and then returned it. I don't know what to tell you. They probably forgot to include velcro or holes. You're much better off just buying tripods and using lights from the hardware store. See youtube for DIY instructions. That's what I did and it works fine. Good luck.

Make sure your tripod will fit. Not all tripods will support these kind of fittings. Camera wise they are standard size and should have no problem at all. Sunpak pistol grip is pretty heavy duty stuff.

You can shoot from front of disto or set it to shoot from bottom of disto. If that was what you were after. Not sure if you can adjust for tripod thread.

No, you can't. Also, the quality of this product is not so good. One of the legs of my tripod has broken in less than a month of light use.

That is a little tabletop tripod, about 6 inches tall. You will need to buy a real tripod.

You can change the pip. All corners and middle. You can also adjust the size of the picture

The size of your video camera plays a big factor. Handhelds are fine, but bigger camera will cause your tripod to be off balance. In such cases, you'd be better off with a rig.

You might try the accessory for an IPad that screws on like a camera, your tablet will just sit in it, that is what I use on a tripod with my 8" tablet

I couldn't attach it and sent it back. There's another style cane that has a tripod already attached - I can't remember the name of it but I bought it here.

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now.Hamish
