How does the top half attach to the bottom half? Do you have to take the top half off to attach to the camera to a tripod?

The top cover attach to the inside half case by screw, there are 2 screws, one is for inside half case attach to camera body, one is for top cover attach to half case, you need to take off the top cover when you attach camera to a tripod.

Either works... You can remove it completely and hold it separately or you can leave it snapped and it hangs below the camera while taking your shot. Occasionally I leave it off if I'm just holding the camera by the strap (sometimes a little more convenient without it completely). Otherwise if I'm going to throw the camera in my purse and don't want it to bang around I will leave it on and just open the top when I'm ready to use.

No, sadly it just dangles next to your camera. It's not usually an issue unless it's really windy, though. If it is, maybe you could tie it around the tripod, or use tape or Velcro!

It has a 1/4" flattening thumbscrew on the bottom that goes into the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. I use it on a smaller bodied camera and it works very well and is quite well made and solid. I hope this helps.

The base-plate from the tripod will screw right in the the hole on the bottom. No additional screws needed.

Yea all you have to do is screw the camera in on top of the slider. No tripod piece is needed.

There is a female threaded connection point on the body that attaches to the "shoe" of a tripod. Simply remove the protective cap for the female threaded port.Most tripods use the same size connections for tripods, but there might be an oddball connection out there somewhere.

It gives you the option to attach the unit to the bottom of the camera through the tripod hole in the bottom of the camera. I threw mine away because I always have my tripod plate attached to the camera.

Not exactly sure what you are referring to. The center section slides out after the slider clamp is loosened, similar to the legs sliding down. You do have to remove the bottom piece with the hook used to weight the tripod. Does this help?

There is nothing wrong with that at all, Since I attached mine to my Cannon 7D I have never taken it off. I even bought a 2nd one and attached it to my tripod ring of my 100-400. It's great being able detach it from the strap and just pop it onto the tripod. Hope this helps.

The very top of most tripods is a 1/4 screw so you can screw on a camera direct or any female 1/4 item. It's built in - not an adaptor or accessory. I've put a 5dm3 on it buts it's really flimsy and obviously cannot rotate like a fluid ball head could but it'll work in a pinch

I have no knowledge of the camera you mentioned. In "most" still and video cameras there is a threaded hole in the bottom where the mounting screw utilized by the Tripod fastens

That's incorrect. While taking it out takes less than a minute, you will definitely have to remove cover to attach to tripod

There are holes on both ends and also the middle. Using the ends needs 2 tripods I guess, to be honest I have never tried that. Using the middle, I think it depends on the camera weight, the head and size of tripod. I use D610 on a Manfrotto 701HDV head and the slider on a strong Manfrotto tripod, no problem.

Attach the bottom to the camera and then snap on the top. It will not work with any accessories attached to the camera.

Yes. Screw it directly to the bottom of the camera. When you place the camera on a tripod with the plate you must unscrew it

It attaches on the front of the lense the camera comes with. You can also pull the lense off and attach it to the body.
