I would imagine it's the same as the P5100 and uses the FSB-6.
Edit. According the the Nikon site it uses the UR-E21 adapter, whereas the P5100 uses the UR-E20 adapter, so maybe there is a difference between the two cameras. It would be worth checking before you ordered the FSB-6.

It looks to me as if Nikon don't sell one to suit at the moment. It might be possible to use the FSA-1/2/3 brackets with the UR-E21. It is a bit strange as I assumed the P5100 and P6000 bodies were more or less the same.

Dear All
Yep your right it would appear that for the moment Nikon ain't providing a FSB bracket for the P6000. Please find below a reply from Nikon UK concerning the issue
Dear Douglas,
Thank you for your email, I am happy to learn of your interest in Nikon products.
At the moment there is no digiscoping bracket available for the P6000, and regretfully we don't yet have information if and when one will announced and released. The FSB-6 bracket is not compatible with the P6000. We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing you.
I have forwarded your enquiry to our Design and Quality department for their review and consideration for further product release. Should you have more questions regarding this query, please use the Update link provided above the message to reply.
Kind Regards,

However I am currently waiting on the delivery of the UR-E21 Adapter, which as soon as it arrives, I will be able to get the correct thread sizes, and then hopefully SRB will be able to knock me a collar up that will connect the P6000 to my Teleivd scope, I have contacted SRB and they reckon it will be about £40 for them to make a collar, which needless to say will be about half the cost of a Nikon bracket, should Nikon ever get off there arses and produce a bracket to suit!! Hope this info helps.
