tripod mount

Three-legged attachment point

A tripod mount is a threaded socket or adapter that allows cameras, telescopes, or other equipment to attach to a tripod.

The standard size for most consumer cameras is a 1/4-inch screw thread.

This lens is heavy enough that you'll want to use the tripod mount.

Some devices have multiple mounting points for different balance positions.
