Tripod mounting of FZ150 plus teleconverter (1 Viewer)

I've has my FZ150 for about 3 weeks and am over the moon with it.

I have a Nikon TC E15ED teleconverter and the adaptor tube and step-down-ring are on the way. I want to understand the best way to mount the assembly on to a tripod as I'm concerned it'll be very front-heavy for the tripod point on the camera.

Is it OK to use the camrea tripod point or is it usual to use some sort of adaptor plate with a tripod point under the CG of the assemble please? If so, are these commercially available or is it a case of making something?

Any other tips for using the teleconverter are welcome.

Thanks

Try this. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554350-REG/Manfrotto_293_293_Telephoto_Lens_Support.html

Thanks. I'd seen that.
I suspect I may be worrying unneccessarily as the Nikon and Panasonic's own teleconverter weigh about the same, and panasonic approve the use if the tropod mount with their own teleconverter - I emailed them.

The TC E15ED is a lot longer than most TCs so I'd be very careful. You could cut it in half if you like doing DIY. There's a couple of threads on DPreview which show how to do it.

I've just noticed that the FZ150 has the same thread on the barrel as previous FZs, as well as the thread on the lens itself. So if you just get an adapter like this one http://www.pemaraal.com/index.php?page=fz18ac
there's no need to worry about excess weight on the lens itself.

I've also just noticed that you weren't going to mount it onto the lens directly anyway! I guess I should read things properly...
