How to attach a camera to a tripod - Photo Tutorial 101 Take Control of your Camera - Episode 7

[@MissJ970]

Quick and to the point, thank YOU!! This was extremely helpful. I hate those videos where it takes the person 5 minutes before they actually give instructions. You're awesome

[@YetiMacheteHD2]

That intro made me lol, thanks btw.

[@booodyy2386]

LOOOOOL IKR 😂😂😂

[@YetiMacheteHD2]

+MyYTlife reminded me of some tim and eric type shit lmfao

[@booodyy2386]

YetiMacheteHD looooooooooooooooool

[@gettingbetter2285]

What does that even mean

[@artisttemple8268]

Me too, Lol! Very sweet intro!

[@saltqueeneugene4995]

Thank you random man for helping me.

[@luvharm]

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.

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

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!

[@mizzpurdy4018]

OmgI feel so stupid I have had my tripod for several months and I thought it was broken because the top that can lip back, I was like my camera is going to fall off break I have a Nikon d3200 its kinda heavy, after I watched your video and see you have it turned sideways, ughhhh I feel like an idiot, thank you for this video seriously

[@JILUSaiman]

Haa Haa.. So funny

[@genesismaldonado4854]

This was me.. Thank god I finally got the use of it

[@JILUSaiman]

gud to hear this..so click mew pics..I wanna see those

[@sameerasalih773]

me too :D

[@henrylong45]

​@silversky99999 Mizzpurdy, I have the same camera and I was wondering how to fit it onto my tripod. So don't feel bad!

[@CharlesCarabott]

This is the best camera tripod video I have seen till now because it explains the basic things that the other videos skip.

[@kyeh4551]

Thanks for the refresher, I wanted to make sure

[@robeszkajka6004]

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

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

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.

[@nickj12]

I just purchased this model today and had no clue how to use it so thank you. This tutorial was quick, to the point, but accurate. Thank you!

[@sijanar6632]

Thanks from inside of my heart man, really realistic Thumbnail

[@davesdream]

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!

[@manjushreeroy6483]

Thank God for people like you and KZbin!

[@AnmigaBharatham]

I watched your video in 2020 to learn how to mount a camera. Thanks for the video.

[@PatWilsonInfo]

Someone gave me a tripod from a garage sale without instructions and I learned a couple of things in this. Thanks for posting!

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi Pat Wilson, glad I could be of help!

[@regiltube7932]

Thank you for sharing, that's Hakuba Brancer S5C, which I recently acquired at a Japan surplus with missing pieces. I have no clue what's the missing piece and how to set up it with a camera. thanks to your video, now I know.

[@VikkehBee]

Thank you !!!!! so simple yet I was confused you saved me a lot of frustration my friend BIG HUGS

[@heyitzamanda8307]

Been thinking about getting a used Canon Powershot that is in good condition and I have several tripods for filming on my iPhone 7. I always thought my tripods were broken but today I was thinking on how to put the camera on the tripod. Thanks for making this video. you are a life saver!

[@happyhiking4179]

Love the Canadoan accent, straightforward presentation and Windows first generation Times New Roman type font. :)

[@WG-tt6hk]

Thank you for showing me how to do it. I have never seen this in the instructions for either tripods nor cameras. This removes the trail & error method. 🤠

[@azee6532]

Short simple and sweet. That's what I was looking for. You have got a like and a subscriber.

[@sandypiltch1206]

Thank you so much. I managed to get my camera securely on the plate (not knowing the plate was removable) but couldn't get the camera off :). Thanks to your video, I now know how to correctly use the plate for mounting and removing my camera.

[@yolmetec26]

you have the sickest intro bro!

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Thanks!

[@godot9407]

you are the most wholesome being on the planet

[@jefferypeterson924]

Good job !! Found your video the very day I purchased my first tripod. You made it easy to understand for thousands of people. Thanks

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

You're very welcome, glad I could help!

[@kesa1986]

His intro I love

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Thanks +kesa1986 !

[@CharlesCarabott]

So that's how you do it. I was trying to screw in the camera by turning the camera and the plastic springy thing was getting in the way. I feel so stupid but happy I know how to do it now thanks to you. Thank you Sir

[@ziyanmohammed3887]

Sir i missed my tripod plate.. Can I know the size( bottom size) of your plate... It is the same plate which I had

[@JudithNewman-z3u]

The store's online chat said I would have to bring the tripod and camera back to the store to find out how to use it. Thank you, now I just did it =}

[@darshiranmuthu1172]

Thanks so much. Very helpful. The first video in my search 🙂

[@billwelsfordphoto5221]

Eagerly awaiting the next tutorial on how to change a lightbulb. Should only take about 20 minutes.

[@adi.b9902]

It helped me. I just received my new tripod. Will be uploading the video about it tomorrow.

[@GlamorousHabits]

Merci Jean-Pierre! I just got my new camera (transitioning from making iPhone content), no longer doing 'the twist' every time, thank you 😆

[@simondavies2455]

Why does my tripod have a small lug next to the screw? This makes it difficult to attach the camera without cross threading the screw.

[@AwakeMedia]

That monologue original song is just driving me nuts dude! Seriously it's so cool!😁😁I've been singing that since half an hour now! 😂😂

[@mattcantstop]

Quick and to the point. Super helpful. Thanks for making videos to help others!

[@hunterzolomen3022]

[@rachelmarie3405]

[@Victor-ly1cj]

Your intro made my day better, thank you

[@Victor-ly1cj]

thx for tutorial aswell

[@chickadee04287]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It seems so simple but I was trying to spin my camera onto the screw and that didn't work at all! I'm not mechanically minded at all, it seems. After watching your video I had no trouble attaching my camera, easy peasy.

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi chickadee04287, I'm glad to hear this video helped you figure it out! Thanks for the comment!

[@hardikpatel-hn2cq]

I liked your intro... very useful... I have a camera and a tripod but I dont have that plate which holds it... can you plz let me know what is the technical specifications and depth details of the bottom Plate which mounts under the camera. I wanted to buy one.

[@kellyfarrow7106]

THANK YOU 😊 this helped me get my Vivatar VPT - 120 working with my Nikon l110

[@shahbazalam3144]

U should do canan camera sl1 tutorial also because way of explanation is very good

[@beautifullysweet1110]

Very helpful. I was looking at the directions like "wtf" but just watching the first minute of your video I figured it out.

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi *****, I'm glad I could help you getting started with your tripod!

[@rolandgallone6513]

Thanks for that as I couldn't work it out

[@successwithstacee9290]

Thank you so much. I'm just starting my KZbin channel and have so many basic questions I'm embarrassed to ask people I know. This was perfect!

[@ameenaria6224]

i actually thought something was wrong with the tripod mount! This helped me so much! This information should come with the tripod.

[@karynm267]

Hi...first time user of a tripod and my tripod came without directions...had no idea I had to screw the camera on....This was very easy to follow and I am so happy that I do not have to return the tripod.

[@drewaforbes]

I know I'm sooooooper late, and this was a helpful video, but does anyone know where to get the replacement part that goes UNDER the plate? The part that connects the plate to the bass of the tripod (the part that screws into the joint)? Or do I have to buy a whole new tripod? Thank you!

[@caroldailey1526]

Thanks, clearest explanation I found.

[@GoodLuck-cv6xk]

I want to start making videos but I've been wondering, do you have any ideas on cameras that's less expensive but effective?. Please this means a lot to me, thanks.

[@glass12full23]

Thank you... I knew there had to be an easier way than what I was doing!

[@mooshufinkle30]

Thank you- your directions are so easy to follow !

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi +fast feet you're very welcome!

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi Judy Ann Macaranas, yes most digital cameras do have a tripod thread in the bottom, but you have to double-check for your specific model.

[@brocktonsfinest20]

+Jean-Pierre La Forest I have a Canon rebel T3. What's the best, cheapest tripod that I can use. Looking for a 72" tripod.

[@uhavemooface]

+Jean-Pierre La Forest Never knew what that latch was for. Thanks for helping me I now can put my new camera on my camera stand. You have earned a subscriber.

[@Shagun5Studios]

+brocktonsfinest20 bro use simpex tripod or photoron 540

[@romanatwoodfan7716]

Your intro reminds me of Villiger news no offense

[@issabraham]

Jean-Pierre La Forest I like your intro

[@RoamerRealm]

Thanks Jean for the video and instructions. I don't have a tripod yet (its' on the way) and I was looking for information regarding the screw thread on the tripod so that I can use it with a smartphone mount adaptor. This video was very useful to me! I wish you good luck with your channel :)

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Thanks RoamerRealm, glad I could be of help!

[@ShanHFernandes]

thank you very much :)

[@cholitagonzalez1205]

Thank you so much! . I just got my first tripod and I had no idea how to install it! This was very helpful

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi cholita gonzalez, you're very welcome! I think we all get that "now that I got it, what do I do with it" feeling the first time we open one up :)

[@ElisaTayler]

What is the little knob next to the screw on the quick release plate??

[@ErikVaughnDillinger]

Elisa H I've been wondering the same thing. I haven't found any info.

[@haidang93nd]

Elisa H Not sure but I think that pin would fit in a small hold under the camera, to prevent the camera rotating and gets loose

[@AbigailSmith]

anyone know what this is yet?

[@StarGazeroftheMultiverse]

Hi JP thanks for sharing this video, I found it very helpful, Thank you. Merry Christmas!

[@fiction0711]

The intro is DA BOMB!

[@berrythefoodie4224]

Love your Intro XD Also thank you :D this was very informative. I wonder though, what is the little knob for on the tripot? The one next to the screw in part. The black little button. What purpose does it serve?

[@AilehG]

i love your introduction, really funny!

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi *****, I'm glad you like it!

[@StickyPickle24]

thank you jp ...that was very helpful....I wasn't able to figure our how to use d upper plate to attach the camera

[@tergaming5984]

very help sir. I just bought tripod and your video the first come

[@normski262]

Are there any motorized heads which fix to this system that can take a 2kg +cam or do you have to buy something different

[@todokmixvlogs2164]

Thank u so much sir perfect tutorial watching from philipines

[@sbshuehevdneb]

THANK YOU

[@lurkerrekrul]

Unless you get your tripod used, in which case the attachment plate is pretty much guaranteed to be missing. I've seen at least half a dozen tripods in Goodwill and charity shops and they never had the attachment plates. I've found at least a half dozen in the trash and the only one that wasn't missing the plate was the one were it was a permanent part of the tripod, so they literally couldn't lose it. Even if you lend a complete tripod to someone, it's likely to come back without the attachment plate.

[@ferretocious]

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!

[@janjic]

Thanks a lot! For us total beginners this is very useful piece of information.

[@kathybourke684]

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!!!

[@iamneverwrong6635]

Who is here legit learning how to do this. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@joanskinner3444]

Wow! So much better when you do it right! Thanks!

[@theniqabint]

is there a link for this same tripod? (nice tutorial btw!)

[@ship_now_or_never]

Was totally stuck and this helped me

[@brentanoter6669]

Just got my Tripod WT - 3520 for Christmas. Your video really helped me out. couldn't be more happier. It fits very well with my Sony Cyber Shot DSC - W830. Now I'll be out train spotting with it for the rest if the holidays. Great video! Thanks a lot!

[@whiskerske3218]

Thank you, it is videos like these that seem to simple to even talk about, that are so valuable for the beginner. So thank you for taking the time to explain.

[@esthernaidoo]

Can you rotate the camera to record vertically on the stand?

[@elisejenour]

Do you have to buy the plate? I have the exact same tripod and I can’t find the plate.....

[@MaryanneBrunetti]

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.

[@MaryanneBrunetti]

@@JeanPierreLaForest Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to research where to find a replacement. Cheers :)

[@thetickdoctor]

What is that rubber stopper as the Nikon camera only have screw hole. What is purpose of the rubber stop thingy innholder

[@ChubskulitRose]

Can you buy top part of it (the part where you attach the camera in) , I lost mine but dunno where to buy it..

[@timegelund7872]

The "mount" or "screw plate" that you illustrated in the end, is that a standard kind or what.? I've just got an old tripod where theres a similar head, but the "screw mount" I'd missing. Is it Standart and easy for me to find og do I need to find a guy with a 3d printer?

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Good day Tim, unfortunately there is no "one standard" mounting plate that fits all tripods. Even two tripods from the same manufacturer could have very different plates that are not compatible. Some brands may sell replacement parts if you contact them.

[@lhkwehpaw101]

Thank you. This tripod is a bit difficult for me to use but your video help.

[@GenuineGGs]

can we attach a small camera to tripod stands?

[@m.y.8838]

I love this guy!! He is amazing!

[@fabiandee8178]

hah should have watched your tutorial first...I'm a total newb and it took me a while to figure out how to install my compact camera on the tripod! :-) Great video.

[@Rafaelhernandez-fc3lq]

The fact that I had to search this says a lot of my experience lmao

[@kimonewedderburn5379]

Can someone please help me out? So I am trying to get a tripod for my boyfriends birthday and his camera is Canon D60 but I don’t know which tripod to get him. Are there specific tripods for every camera or can someone just tell me what tripod you get for a Canon D60?

[@tiffanyjohnson6872]

This was super helpful! I feel so dumb! LOL I have been trying to figure this thing out for a while! THANKS

[@anoomah]

Ohhh my gosh!! You are literally a life saver!! Thank you so much! (Also I think you should ignore the hate comments because this video is super DUPER helpful!!) Thank you for teaching me how to use this!!

[@kimboclothes]

The intro was amazing thank you.

[@TimaeusSS]

holy shiiet...... awesome i found this video! helped mee!!!!! ayyyyee ahhaahha your intro... ☝☝💯💯💯💯i like it

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Happy to be of help! That was a fun intro to make, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MissMadelineMM94]

Very helpful and quick , thank you

[@melodyworldchannel]

Jean-Pierre La Forest the stand can suit's for all camera's like Nikon ?

[@JeanPierreLaForest]

Hi +Saai Ram most camera companies including Nikon/Canon/Sony/Samsung/Panasonic/Fuji/etc use the same 1/4"-20 thread standard for their point & shoot and DSLR cameras. Just make sure you have a hole in the bottom where you can screw the plate in, and you will be fine.

[@melodyworldchannel]

thank you sir the stand suits for my camera :)
