Has anyone tried this with a Nikon d800? Hoping it has room to open the side door to connect an hdmi (right-angle). Thanks!!!

It fits my Canon 7D, which is pretty large and I suspect a similar size to the d800. I don't use HDMI with the Canon, but I do with my Panasonic GH4, and I can also open the screen out

I use the remote on my D800 and have no problem with access to the controls. It makes for a bit of a tight fit related to the flash button and is close to the lens release and left dial that controls some of the settings like quality and bracketing etc. All are still accessible though. As well given I am taking remote pictures I will have the time to ensure proper settings are selected beforehand. This remote is excellent and cost-effective. Used it on safari with mirror up to minimize shake and vibration with long zooms. David

Yes it accomodates D800. We just used it on a crazy TV production. The height is not adjustable but we had no issues with that. Enjoy.

Hi Glenda, I don't think there will be a problem. The receiver is extremely small and most lenses taper toward the camera's body. I use it with a D800 and the fit is fine using all sorts of lens. Aprox. measurment of receiver: 1 3/8" high to antenna , + antenna 1", body thickness less than 1/4", body width less than 7/8th" max. It is easy to screw to the body and is very flush, it is easy to remove. I leave mine attached, I just have remember where the transmitter is, if not in camera case. They give you a nice little pouch to store both in. Good luck, hope I was a help. Hi Glenda, I don't think there will be a problem.

Sorry I can't help you on this. I have A D800, and it works as advertised. Try calling Nikon technical help, their number is on their website.

Go to "Best Buy" and purchase an HDMI cable to connect to your TV. Also purchase a coupler to join the cable as they come in various lengths. Quiz the sales people. I have used this for several months and it works great...the other end will go in to the largest of the two ports behind the flip cover marked HDMI on your camera. This should work great. Connect the other end into the HDMI port on your TV. and turn on your camera.

I've been using it for a Nikon D40 - perfect replacement for the original cable. Can't say about a D80 ...

I would look for the model with the camera bezel built into it. ( It is on the left side opposite of the lock. ) I was interested in a camera and in looking at the version with the camera is angled downward slightly. I am not certain, but if you put a camera thru the keyhole it may not be at the best angle.Before I would buy this and modify it for a camera, I would drill a hole in the existing one and see how it works. Of course, if it does not work properly then you would have a hole in the one you have. That makes a good excuse to get the model with the camera bezel built in.

Hi, I use this on Nikon D5100 without grip ( much lighter than D800 ), but it's not comfortable to me.

I was curious since I have never tried that before. I just tried it and with the additional brackets that come with it I was able to position the viewfinder directly in front of my eye perfectly. That was tested with a Canon T3i. Your results may vary depending on camera, etc but it worked perfect for me.

Hi Doug, I am using this device on my Nikon D800 and the only button that you can't access is the flash/bracket button. You can still access the button to pop up your on camera flash though. I got this to replace the one I had for my Nikon D7000 that mounted on the hot shoe because it was not compatible with my D800. I don't see that not having access to the on camera flash is a problem because you couldn't even use the on camera flash with the hot shoe mounted device anyway.

I would think yes, I use it on my d700 with a Nikon 70-200 VR11 lens with excellent results. I don't think Nikon changed anything about the mount on the d800. If they had there would be a new Teleconvertor for the d800.

I removed it from my D800 and it fit on the D810 with no issues. I did compare it with the Giotto's protector and found it to be a little less transparent, but not a deal breaker. BTW- I bought this because the Giotto protector came off whilst in my bag.

Sorry, I don't own a D80, I am using this as my travel piece with my D600, and it works very well! Though it does take a bit longer to recharge the flash in between shots.

Mine is on a D610 and it works just fine. Check the Hoodman specs / they say which model is for which Nilkon(s). Only small quibble with mine? It partially obscures the viewing screen - but the benefit far outweighs that minor thing.

I am using the remote on a D7000. I needed another for my D800. It will not fit my Coolpix 990. I would check which models it will fit in the specifications. The cord is about three feet.

I bought the larger loupe for my Nikon D600. At the time I didn't understand how it mates to the camera, but it said it would work on the D600. It does, but it makes access to some of the buttons on the back a little tight. I have wondered if the smaller one would have been easier, at the expense of a slightly obscured screen. The way it mates is simply sitting flat on the screen. Imagine an open jar sitting upside down on a flat surface just big enough. If too big it'll overlap the surface, if too small it'll obscure some of the surface. I'd recommend finding out the exact dimensions of both cameras and both loupes (inside and outside of the flange), and deciding what will be best. I'll measure mine for you if you need, not handy right now. Remember, the loupe needs to be held against the display, either by a free hand or some device. I didn't want to spend extra money, so I made up a shock cord contraption. I may try to use the tripod socket - the loupe has one also, so it only needs a small plate under both, and " screws. BTW, I like the optics and craftsmanship. Glad I bought it. But there's another option may be better. Vello has a transmitter with adapter cords for the camera, and a receiver with a 3" screen for remote live view. More expensive, but I'm thinking it may be a better method. I video local concerts, seated in the front row. I have the camera as high as won't bother people, which makes me strain to look into the loupe. Would be nice to have the display in my lap!
