hi guys. I want to mount something to the top of a wooden hiking staff, so I can mount up to a DSLR and use the staff as a steady. is this suitable? N

You need a 1/4 inch hanger bolt with a wood screw thread on one end and a machine screw on the other. You can find them here on amazon or a local hardware store. You would need to drill a pilot hole on the wood staff so it doesn't split open. If you can't find the right length so that the camera fits snugly, then use 1/4 inch washers to take up the slack in the screw. Do a "hanger bolt" search here on amazon so you can see what they look like and then go to the hardware store so you can look at the different lengths and just buy a couple of them.

It depends. Does the top of the staff have a 1/4"-20 female thread? If it doesn't, then no. If it does, how securely is the metal female thread mounted into the wood of the staff?

You can mount it. I suggest having a sturdy tripod though. Just because of the size and weight of the product. It is extremely well built and it's beautiful.

I must apologize, I forgot that we used a regular water bottle attachment to mount to the wood for the lixit bottle. I want to send you the photos but I have been unable to upload them. Perhaps you can tell me how to send the photos?

not likely to be at a angle you want, it will be very tippy on the small base. If you got a piece of say 4x4 plywood and drilled a hole in it and put some feet under it you could put a bolt into the base and it would be stable with a normal camera. Not sure you want to do that much work.

You may have received a response from me earlier. This evening when I returned home, I used a set of my binoculars and tried to mount to tripod. Not a good idea. The picture above looks different than one I have. I would discuss your needs with a local shop.

You can always thread it with a longer rope if needed. With a long enough rope ,you can mount it any hieght you would like.

From what I understand it is not tripod ready, and that is a design flaw. One reviewer mentioned that he had drilled and tapped a section of the mount for a tripod, but that may not be an option for you unless you are handy with tools.

I'm assuming you meant to put the word "work" at the end of your question, so I'll just go from that standpoint. YES, this tripod will work on that model of camera. I have actually used this tripod to mount rather heavy lights during a paranormal investigation and it held up well. However, it did become a little top-heavy, so I had to use weights on the anchor hook below the neck. It will work fine for your camera.

You will probably need to purchase a mount that can hold a heavier load, especially if you're going to do any type of photography. I believe the capacity of this mount is 35lbs.

Mount it to anything if you have the ability to establish a rail. A competent gunsmith with a lathe might be able to help. Good luck!

Yes, but how easy it is might depend on your carpentry skills. It's best to have a standard 1/4-20 thread like most cameras and tripods have to secure it. I built a small platform shelf for mine that the camera sits on.

Because it is a Monopod.It also serves as a nice walking staff to steady yourself getting to that perfect picture.If you want a tri-foot, then look on.This also has a sturdy retractable stainless steel spike that screws down to add grip to its traction.I use mine to support a Tamron 150-600mm lens, 4.3 pounds of glass.I love mine.

No problems mountin it. Pay attention to mounting the guide Rail to the table.. Dont loose the Gauge they supply

YES you can. You can mount it on a Tripod. Unfortunately, I have a Steadicam system and since its base plate is not long enough.... I had customized a release base plate for it..... to hold it durably.

Yes, it should work. My hiking stick also has a 12mm tip at the top. It tapers to a 10mm tip at the bottom befirt the metaltop.

It could be a great fit for that, depending on how much room you have and what angles you're using for the shot. The hand crank can move the camera up and down about a full foot, so that is nice for fine tuning the height without having to adjust the legs. The locks for both axis work well, too, so it will stay wherever you place it for a solid shot.

While the only truly stable mount is a clamp set up, it is sufficiant if you are an experienced shooter. As with anything it depends on the shooter.
