Where to buy the Coolpix P1000
Extended QR Plate for better balance
This QR plate is 120 mm making for a better balance on the tripod head.
Carbon Fiber Tripod with Monopod
This is a full size durable and lightweight tripod.

This is essential for controlling the P1000 super zoom. Elevation is limited to 15 degrees in the standard configuration. I turn it around backwards to shoot elevations as high as 90 degrees.
