#69495 Tripod for P1000?

Posted by Gary B on 15 August 2020 - 10:15 PM in Nikon CX and Coolpix Compact Cameras

not sure you seen this you may have to go a little more then half way down the page

to see how i fixed the gap problem between the plate and camera

https://www.dpreview.../thread/4484826

 having that gap between the camera and plate may cause damage or pull the threads out of the camera.

all so added a dot site real cheap.

the tripod was cheap and very heavy which is a must for this size camera.

a lite tripod if you bump it the camera tripod has a good chance of tipping over,

a heavy tripod like i have can handle a hit pretty good and i all so have a gimbal which is stiff,

moving a stiff gimbal on a lite tripod will move the tripod all over the place

#67604 Can someone tell me if I'm being crazy or this camera is defective?

Posted by Gary B on 27 April 2020 - 07:57 PM in Technical Troubleshooting

 It looks like the seller is trying to keep the bundle price low by substituting a bad memory card.

al most all company's do




#67548 Tripod for P1000?

Posted by Gary B on 23 April 2020 - 04:25 PM in Nikon CX and Coolpix Compact Cameras

thanks just asking for anyone with hands on experience on what they use.

i really want to see the item in person not on line, what you see from a image and what you get  might be nothing more then plastic junk from china.

 

i was thinking to use 

Construction Tripod transit

and just put the ball head on it, all transit levels ive seen are very well built, i weight about 200 lbs and i used to jump on it both feet to plant it in the ground, never seen one break.

with the p1000 im more worried about being top heavy and tipping over from the wind or by it getting bumped a little bit.

#67276 Tripod for P1000?

Posted by Gary B on 07 April 2020 - 08:20 PM in Nikon CX and Coolpix Compact Cameras

are you talking to the person who started the post?

i found this topic by searching and the topic shows>Tripod for P1000? so i figured this would be the best place to ask.

the p1000 is not your typical weight and im sure most cameras will work on most tripods, the link i posted is i found it for sale and maybe some one could look at the spec and tell me.

i do search and i would think some PRO here would be the BEST place to ask, i dont want no junk to find out the tripod broke then broke my camera, cost a lot of money,

pretty simple answer is the tripod junk or not for my needs.

thanks for the link checking it out now.

#67262 Tripod for P1000?

Posted by Gary B on 06 April 2020 - 08:29 PM in Nikon CX and Coolpix Compact Cameras

thank. im going to buy a tripod will the QR plate come with it or do i need to buy it. (newbie)

looking for amazon buying link, may need to adjust the height of the camera on the igloo cooler, like a slide up and down adjuster.

got any amazon buying links.

need suggestion? all so looking for quick release, dont want to spend much time mounting the camera and taking it off to much hassle.

the p1000 is real heavy.

will this tripod hold up for the coolpix p1000 https://dallas.craig...7082319594.html




#67261 Can someone tell me if I'm being crazy or this camera is defective?

Posted by Gary B on 06 April 2020 - 08:06 PM in Technical Troubleshooting

set it back to factory settings,

update the firmware.

format the card ONLY by the camera,

if you format the card all ready then put some thing on it and format it with the camera,

i think if its blank the camera is really not formatting the card,

for a test and i know you watch the image but turn OFF auto focus.

get biggiest memory card and make sure it can handle high speed like for 4K.

MY P1000 FROZE on me when i got it now it doesn't




#67240 Tripod for P1000?

Posted by Gary B on 05 April 2020 - 09:18 AM in Nikon CX and Coolpix Compact Cameras

thank you i bought all 3 items you posted on amazon, to make the camera more stable im going to fill in the gap,

im going to use cling wrap plastic to protect the mount and camera then use this

https://www.amazon.c...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

its moldable thermoplastic Polymer, this stuff gets hard as a rock and you can re use it.

im using Black to match the camera. once done ill remove the plastic wrap,

ill mold it with the lens all the way in and once harden and the lens goes out it wont tilt down or move.

 

i could use this https://www.amazon.c...86099962&sr=8-2

but for hand making it should be more cheaper and you get more for your buck, like quick release and swivel.

 

you posted this https://www.amazon.c...lv_ov_lig_dp_it

in your image you have another plate under it, can you link me to amazon i think ill need that also thank.

 

im going to try mounting it on a igloo cooler,

1 can take the heat

2 can take the cold

3 protects camera from getting smashed

4 set it up on a picnic table at eye level

5 use wireless remote for no camera shake.

thermos
 
fits inside and enough room to add cushion to it. be using a thick towel,
or buy a padded camera bag
