how does it attach to the front of the camera- there are no threads---and if screwed on- does that damge the camera and how fast can it be detached?

It slides over and holds with 2 set screws. I have since purchased an adapter ring which does screw in (no matter what Nikon says) which is much smaller and works much, much better.

the adapter attach to the body of lens, not in the lens. use a "allen key" (not included) and fix perfect for P520 model, they came with a inner ring that pressure the adapter, not the screw, so not damage the body. detach or atach its easy but take a little time, so the better way is let the first part of adapter in the camera and buy a lens cap 67mm to protect de lens. sorry for my bad english

Two screws, one on each side, that are adjusted with an allen key that comes with the kit(or at least did with mine). Does not damage the camera I detached mine just to see if there were any marks where it had been attached, there were none, and I tightened the screws on mine nearly all the way to where they would no longer tighten easily. Detaches roughly within 30 seconds given your using the proper allen key.

I have two Nikon CoolPix cameras.....the P510 and the P600. These will not work for the P510 but will work on the P600. The 510 has grooves but does not allow threading. The 600 will allow you to thread them onto the camera.

I use it with a video camera weighting about 5 lbs with the battery attached and if I leave the camcorder on the tripod unattended the camera tilts toward the ground. (It never fell off though). I would not recommend it for a front heavy lens.

You have to find the connector with the correct angle it is a screw mount and you can usually get a grab bag of different connector mounts for cheap. There is a plate on the chest harness that attaches to the plate on the camera you have mounted with the screw. The plates snap in place.

I put the bottom plate all the way to the right, it has small screws on rear and front of main bracket. I have a Nikon d7000 so I can slide a electronic cable release into position. There is not enough room to put it on the right side on my camera. the bracket will slide about one inch from front to back. If screw that attaches bracket to camera does not slide in slot it may need to have a little more threads cut off.

There's a clip that screws into the bottom of your camera (assuming your camera has a tripod mount). You can unscrew the clip or use the quick release button to just detach the tripod itself.

Yes, there is a spot to attach a strap (not included), it is directly below the "HOLD" button... I'm not sure why the one correct answer went on to confuse things by saying that it is threaded for a tripod mount. It is not; the tripod mount is an entirely separate and different thing.But yes, there is a spot to attach a strap (not included), it is directly below the "HOLD" button.

Not the way a camera attaches to a tripod. It can if you have a microphone threaded head attached to the Tripod. It doesn't have a tripod thread screw.

It pulls out and twists to lock. There are 3 extensions and you can adjust each one to the length you want. It's fairly sturdy and I haven't had the camera rotate under it's own weight, even out of a moving car.

It has a female threaded screw for the camera mount adapter. You can mount it directly to a tripod. I have used it that way with no problem, assuming correct thread diameter on the tripod.

Hello, your question: " how the cam is held in place..is it a simple screw (Phillips head or straight edge?) or is it with washer and nut? " The cam has a washer with a nut, once you install it the nut secures it in place. I hope that this response helps you on your decision. Regards !

The viewfinder itself does not attach to a tripod. It attaches to the border of your LCD screen with a metal plate sticker. This allows the viewfinder to easily come on and off. Not the strongest hold, but I am able to walk around with the camera in hand without the viewfinder falling off. Where it has come in handy most is when I have done videography of live shows and I have to sit/stand in the audience with my camera on a tripod or handheld in front of me. It keeps the light of the LCD from distracting people in your surrounding area. It also works great when you're outdoors and in bright sunlight. I use it for a Canon T2i and would recommend it.

There is a removable plate on the top of the ball head (remove by pressing the side button). This plate should mount on any standard camera with the screw that extends through the mounting plate. Once mounted to the camera, the camera will slide and lock into position on top of the ball head. If the screw does not fit into the camera, either the camera is defective/non-standard or the mounting plate could have some sort of thread defect. I had no such issues with my purchase.

There is a base plate that screws onto the bottom of the camera that is pretty secure. It is similar to the attachment you see on a scope or tripod. The connector between the base plate and the strap itself is metal and not plastic. I do make sure I keep the screw tight when I'm moving around a lots. I have not had any problems at all with it. It all works well with my shoulder harness for my binoculars as it fits over/under that harness nicely.

I attached mine to the loop that sits at the top of the backpack (imagine what you would grab when you pick the backpack up from the floor). it did the a few tries to find the best points of attachment and to make sure that its doesn't move when sliding the camera in/out. At this point I haven't made any adjustments in a year. Its a great item to have if you want quick and easy access to your camera.

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!

The clamp itself held tight, but the supporting bolts in the gopro housing are liable to unravel due to vibration. Had I tethered my camera I wouldn't have lost it.Gopro do advise that these aren't the best means of attaching cameras :0)

When I bought mine a few years ago, it did not come with one. I believe that attachment was made by the user. I usually let mine hang free when I need to use the flash. The connection to the camera port is pretty stout.
