    Thank you so much! I don't know why but this is not something that is easy to find, I spent 15 minutes searching for how to work a tripod and found things that were much more complicated than what I needed before finding this video which is really what I was looking for.

      Hi Kara Ferrari, I'm very happy to hear I was able to help you out! I agree that most photography tutorials seem to be written by pros for pros. Too much information is just as bad as too little information :) Have a great day!

    Thanks for the help! I have a question. Can I put every type of camera on any tripod? Thank you!

    • @JeanPierreLaForest
      @JeanPierreLaForest  3 года назад +1

      Good day Robeszkajka, while most cameras can be mounted on a tripod, there are a few exceptions that either do not have the thread in the bottom, or require an additional adapter (such as Go Pro cameras). If it does have a thread, chances are it is the standard 1/4-20 thread, although a few exceptions require the much larger 3/8 threads. Many tripods have screws that can fit both mount types.

  • @davesdream
    @davesdream 2 года назад +1

    Questions:
    1) The pin and the spring in the adapter, I guess is for some cameras have a hole where the pin is inserted.
    2) If your camera doesn't have the pin, is there a correct position where to put the pin when you screw the adapter to the camera (pointing to front, left, right or back position)?
    Thanks!

    I have been a camera 'buff' for many years, but although I have had a tripod for many years as well, I don't often use it as I get sick of having to screw the camera in to the tripod, and it gets tangled up with the strap and lens cover. WOW!! now after watching your video and realizing what to do and how to properly use and adapt this, it's great. I feel soo silly. Thanks heaps for the info on the video. Yaaa!!!

    Thank you for a very simple to follow tutorial. You would think this would be such a simple thing to do but it isn't if you've never done it before. I just got a new tripod and I couldn't figure out how to get the camera on their other than twisting the camera. But that didn't work very well because there's that weird little thing sticking up next to it.
    Looked at the instructions and of course there's nothing in there other than how to set up the tripod!

      Most cameras do not have the extra hole needed to take care of the little plastic pin, so unless you have one of those, you can ignore the broken pin.

      Depending on the brand/model, each tripod is slightly different, but there is usually 1 or 2 levers/buttons that need to be pushed. Having 2 things to press helps ensure the camera doesn't accidentally slide off.

    Hi there :) thanks for your video. I just bought a secondhand tripod, but it doesn't have that plate. There's just the odd shaped gap with the swing release lever thingy. Does this mean that the plate is missing, that it should be included, as I am now beginning to suspect .. thanks for your advice!

    • @JeanPierreLaForest

      Good day, unfortunately yes tripods isually come (or should) with the plate. Sometimes the manufacturer might sell replacements, or may be using a widely used type.
