Can this be used with a Sony NEX 5N? I have small hands, and as I get older need some extra stabilization when I can't use a tripod. If not what does

I use it on a Sony a-7. I no longer have the strap attached. I use the hand grip strap to carry the camera with one hand securely. I think it will fit any camera. It doesn't quite work for taking one-handed photos, but it does help stabilizing the camera for two handed operation.

Most likely as it fully adjustable. I have used it on several cameras including Canon's SL-1 (light & small), Canon's 7D (heavy) and Sony'a A7.

Kimber... yes is possible, but this is not the right tool for this....the locker of the string is not so good and constantly you need push up to lock again.... a better option is this one DualGRIP Steady Shot DuraNeoprene Wrist Strap with Mini Tripod for Sony Alpha NEX-5N , SLT A37 , SLT A99 and Many More Sony Digital Cameras

Sorry, I had to send mine back because it wouldn't fit my camera case. I have a Nikon Coolpix 520.

I would think that it would work ok with that camera. I have mine attached to a Nikon Pronea 6I. It's a rather small but comfortable body. The strap is a bit of a pain to get onto my hand but holds the camera in a solid manner. I have rather small hands.

This little camera CAN'T be used with a tripod unfortunately. You might be able to jerry rig something but I wouldn't really recommend it. It's still a fun camera to own though.

You can't use a traditional tripod, but might be able to use one that grips like a phone windshield mount if you can find one small enough.

I must admit that using the monopod is difficult with that lens you have to be very steady. I found that using a normal tripod was sufficient you do not need both to use it.

Hi, I have a NEX 5N. It fits like a glove with the 18-55 and the flash installed. i dont use the strap it came with because i just leafe the one that came with the camera on. that way the strap is connected to the camera and not the case just in case it opens by accident.

Personally, I find the quick release mechanism to be loose. When my 5d is on it, with any lens, the head tips down when shooting portrait style (vertical). However I haven't had any problems shooting landscape style (horizontal). it is a decent tripod though. Hope it helps.

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 use mine with a DSLR but mostly for stills. You would have to watch your breath as that may affect the stability of your scene. I put over 10 pounds of camera and lens. It is very stabil.

I don't use it, but it should work OK with the included lenses. I wouldn't be sturdy enough for larger telephoto lenses, but it is a lot lighter than the tripod I use for that.

I used with a Sony alpha 55 and the menu has a selection for using with a remote device so I set it to on and everything worked fine. Afraid I cannot help you with the NEX-5N.

Yes the grip dose have a tripod mount on the bottom. But I don't like the small side cord for the vertical shutter button. I use it with out, which is not what I intended. As fare as the batteries.. They don't hold a charge for more then 3 hours. I went out and got the Nikon ones.

There is a tripod mount on the bottom back of the unit. I use a very small Joby tripod on mine about 90% of the time. You can hold it by hand but image stabilization will suffer.

Good question, I personally don't use a spider mount, I use a black rapid strap from time to time, I generally mount on a tripod. As long as the battery grip is secured and tight to the 5Diii, then you will be okay.. I've had the entire camera fall and it "pulled" on the tripod plate (synthetic plastic), and its still very sturdy.

It works well with a Canon 5D mk 2 or 3. In low light ISO must be set at 1600 or more and shutter speed more than 1/400 sec. Still I would recommend a monopod to stabilize. Easily hand held in bright sunlight. Great glass for the price.

Probably too heavy - this monopod is great quality but not heavy duty. I use it with the Sony NEX 7 and a 200mm compact zoom and that starts to stress the monopod when fully extended.

I definitely wouldn't use the VC while on a tripod, but at 50mm on a shoulder mount it can make the difference between a useable shot and an unusable one. A good shoulder rig will balance the camera out and give you better ergonomics, but VC will eliminate the microvibrations and help with rolling shutter artifacts. If you end up doing any stabilization in post, the results will usually be better with VC than without. In some shooting situations it will make a bigger difference than others though, so if possible try before you buy.

I was unhappy that there is not a ball head to allow for much more adjusting of my Nikon D5100. It is fairly stable, although do not stand in front of it with your back turned....walked into mine. It feel over with my camera. Yikes. My big 105mm lens and camera do not seem too heavy so the Handycam will hold the weight. Panning the camera could be a problem. No Instructions available from Polaroid either...grrrr. Ask on Flickr about using this tripod.
