Nikon produces a range of digital SLR cameras and point and shoots. These cameras come equipped with mounting holes for tripods or bipods, external flashes and battery grips. Attaching and mounting the Nikon to these accessories requires following the Nikon user manual.
Instructions
1. Turn the Nikon camera upside down (DSLR or point and shoot). Locate the recessed screw attachment for tripods and bipods.
2. Place the tripod or bipod mounting screw into the housing on the camera and turn the camera to the right until the screw is embedded into the camera housing and is secure.
3. Taking the external flash for a DSLR Nikon, push the electronic connector ins -- at the bottom of the flash, with the pins facing out like the flash itself -- into the DSLR mounting plug found behind the internal flash on the top, center of the Nikon DSLR.
4. Open the Nikon DSLR battery panel on the bottom of the camera. Remove the batteries. Insert the battery grip battery-pack into the battery housing on the camera. Push up until the battery grip "clicks" into position, securing it to the camera. If using the extra battery grip pack, screw tripods or bipods into the screw housing on the bottom of the grip like in Step 2 to mount the Nikon DSLR to a tripod or bipod using a battery grip.
