Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how do you assign the AE-L/AF-L on the D610 menu?

A: It's under the Custom Menu Setting F9.

Q: 2. Do I need anything additional to allow boom to swivel/raise/lower on my stand? I saw one comment saying you needed to buy a grip head...

A: Nope...it has it's open 5/8 receiver. So as long as you have a sturdy C-stand, you're good to go. A drop pin adds some extra versatility and Safety cables are always advised. Both are cheap add-ons.

Q: 3. What country is this made in?

A: The country of origin for this item is Italy.

Q: 4. Are there any portable stands this boom can work with? All the recommended ones seem to be very heavy and not for on location shooting. Thanks.

A: I would not recommend it. This is designed to be a long lasting inside boom and stand. The boom arm is not light and if you put it on an aluminium stand, my guess is the stand would bend. I would suggest finding an aluminium stand and boom arm.

Q: 5. *Black or chrome?

A: Which do you prefer? Because that's what it's going to come down to.Chrome may reflect light back into a set. Though I've yet to see that happen.Black possibly could retain more heat is used outdoors.Chrome generally is easier to see on a dark set.Black might be considered cooler looking than chrome.My chrome D600 works perfectly well with my decades old C-stands. So yeah, pick the one you like.

Q: 6. I'm a beginner to dslr cameras... what dvd do I need for the 3200 Nikon camera? Is it the same dvd as the 7200?

A: The D3200 would have a different crash course.

Q: 7. What's the closed length, will this fit in a bag with 48 interior?

A: Hi JamesThe closed length is 49 but you can unscrew and remove the counterweight hook on the end which brings the length to 47 . That's how I carry it. Hope this answer helps.

Q: 8. Work with Nikon z5?

A: The Vello BG-N10 Battery Grip for Nikon D600 & D610 is incompatible with the Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera. Instead, get the Vello BG-N21 Battery Grip for Nikon Z 5, Z 6, Z 6 II, Z 7, and Z 7 II Mirrorless Camera, BH #VEBGN21.

Q: 9. Will the Manfrotto 123 Super Boom Pivot Clamp fit this boom?

A: No, that product has its own mounting points (we call them "receivers") for a boom and for attaching to a stand. This product, the Avenger D600CB Mini Boom (Black) (BH# AVD600CB), will attach to a C stand or other heavy duty light stand that has a 5/8" stud on top. Another name for a 5/8" stud is a "baby pin."

Q: 10. Will an Arca-Swiss style camera plate designed specifically for the Nikon MB-D14 fit the same way on this grip? That is, are the bottom contours of this grip exactly the same as the MB-D14?

A: No unfortunately. The grips are different enough in design that the plates/brackets designed for the MB-D14 would not fit onto this Vello grip properly.
