Advertisement Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Hi marknorton, Take a look here My new case just arrived. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Phil U Posted August 1, 2013 Share #22 Posted August 1, 2013 Rick the bottom of the case has a tripod mount basically you screw the tripod into the bottom of the case not into the camera If the case doesn't in turn screw to the camera then obviously you don't want to use the combination with a heavy lens.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted August 1, 2013 Share #26 Posted August 1, 2013 Does not sound very stable - that will be one wobbly camera.Jaap you can always take the case off when shooting on a tripod like all the other cases..............I wont know until I try it but try it I will:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satureyes Posted August 1, 2013 Share #27 Posted August 1, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rick the bottom of the case has a tripod mount basically you screw the tripod into the bottom of the case not into the camera is that really stable enough? to put the mounting point as the case seems like it may not be that effective?

349A Posted August 1, 2013 Share #28 Posted August 1, 2013 If you check this link at Dale, you can see the tripod mount is in fact part of the case and does not thread into the camera body.

colorflow Posted August 1, 2013 Share #29 Posted August 1, 2013 The mount in the case is no way near stable enough for a tripod. So I figured I'd use it for something else - mount for a handstrap using an old Luigi strap and a Camstrap adapter. Welcome, dear visitor!

thighslapper Posted August 2, 2013 Share #31 Posted August 2, 2013 Does not sound very stable - that will be one wobbly camera. .... better to just drill a hole in the right place and use a longer screw on the tripod plate to compensate for the extra thickness ..... screw direct into the M baseplate ....the combination of the rubber on the plate against leather actually produces a very stable fixture when sandwiched between camera and tripod.....

MarkP Posted August 2, 2013 Share #33 Posted August 2, 2013 A while ago I bought for my M9 a Luigi 1/2 case with the screw in the base for tripod work thinking I was so clever - big mistake. I really got the shits having to get a coin or whatever to unscrew the case every time I needed to access the battery or SD card. So I stopped using the case! I then cut off the screw protruding into the case with a dremel cutting disc - now the case is much more useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted August 2, 2013 Share #38 Posted August 2, 2013 Comparing Luigi with what I got is like comparing apples to oranges Oh don't get me wrong, I'm very impressed with it and will consider a black one for my M240 when it arrives. But I really don't want a case secured by a baseplate screw. Regards, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenPatterson Posted August 2, 2013 Share #40 Posted August 2, 2013 For me a half case needs to do two very important things. One, it needs to provide a superior grip, and two, it needs to cover, protect and hide the rear LCD and buttons. IMHO this design does neither very well. It is true they are very well made (I had a look at one in Hong Kong) but for me the Luigi Harmony case is superior in functionality and aesthetics.
