    Tripod and Adapter Advice?

    You could also check some of the used sites like MPB. com, and (maybe) KEH.com. I know that MPB has a long list of Manfrotto and Gitzo tripods on their site, as well as some other brands. Maximize your spending bucks, while getting a quality tripod in the process. Just a suggestion. Andy

    SD card loading

    Have you tried a different card in that slot? Have you tried that card in a different camera? Is there any damage to the connector end of the card, like pieces missing? Info like that will help to diagnose the problem. Andy

    Nikon FTZ ii with AF-S ED lenses

    Look like it’s a 300 mm AF “D” type. If so, that is a “screwdriver” type of lens and needs a camera with a focus motor built into the camera body.

    Items Greyed Out on Menu

    You might want to go to the Foolography website and have a look at the Unleashed. It’s a very small device that plugs into the 10 pin port on the D500, and besides putting the GPS coordinates on the photos, it also lets you control many camera functions from your phone. AND………besides that, it...
