How to put a camera on a tri-pod?

Question

ok I have a maxium 5 minolta my quescion is how do I hoke it up to a tri-pod?

Answer 1

on the bottom of the camera near the center there should be a female s***w ...  like a standard 1/4 inch recess...

the tripod should have a s***w of the same size...if your tripod is missing this mounting s***w you can get one at any camera place or hardware store (caution, if you get one at a hardware store be sure to get one that is "short" as a long one may cause damage to the camera as it  is tightened.

best to take the camera and tripod to a camera store and get a mounting s***w that is the right thread and length.

If you are trying to use a "quick mount" adapter  you need one made for your camera and tripod combination

Answer 2

Whatever you do, don't over tighten it!

Answer 6

Answer 7
