3.
An estimate of the distance from the center of your tripod hole to
the optical center of your lens. |
 |
When using a Digital SLR camera with a
long lens the absolute maximum length from the tripod mounting hole
of the camera to the optical center of the lens must be no more than
180mm or about 7 inches.
If the tripod hole of your camera is offset from the centerline of
the lens then the maximum distance from the tripod mounting hole to
the optical center of the lens must be no more than 160mm or about
6.5 inches.
A rough estimate of the optical center of a fixed focal length lens
is usually somewhere close to the physical center of the lens.
If you look into the front of a lens and locate the pinhole opening,
this is where the optical center will lie for most fixed focal
length lenses. |

Important!!!
Cameras or
lenses that have been found to NOT work
for various unusual reasons:
Nikon 950 camera
(Tripod hole too close to front of camera. This
causes the camera to tip up when mounted to a rubber or cork pad)
Canon
S400, S230 camera (Tripod hole on
wrong side of lens & too close to the edge of the camera)
