While I&#8217;m sure this will happen in the future, Nikon do still have some work ahead of them to get this to work well enough for a pro camera! And contrary to <a href=\"\/2012\/01\/23\/nikon-interview-questions-about-gps\/\">what they say<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s not (just) about the limited space inside the camera body. Read some of my thoughts <a href=\"\/2012\/01\/06\/nikon-d4-released-without-built-in-gps\/\">here<\/a>. Nikon did keep their 10-pin port for attaching external GPS devices.<\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px.png\" alt=\"Nikon D800 with its 10-pin port for GPS\" title=\"Nikon D800 with its 10-pin port for GPS\" width=\"656\" height=\"618\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px.png 656w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px-416x392.png 416w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px-150x141.png 150w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/D800_GPS_port_656px-600x565.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, Nikon changed the physical design of the area around that 10-pin port in such a way, that our <a href=\"\/products\/unleashed\/\">Unleashed D200+<\/a> no longer fits, at least not without modification.<\/p> \r\n<p>The problem is that Nikon made the D800 smaller, the lens mount wider, and most contours of the camera more slanted. This results in less space near the 10-pin port to begin with, and that space decreasing even more as you try to push the Unleashed further into the socket &#8211; so much, that it is not possible to firmly plug the Unleashed into the socket. Electrically, it would still work, but physically it does not fit.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/top_with_unleashed_outline_600px.png\" alt=\"Nikon D800 Top view with Unleashed D200+ outline\" title=\"Nikon D800 Top view with Unleashed D200+ outline\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/top_with_unleashed_outline_600px.png 600w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/top_with_unleashed_outline_600px-416x277.png 416w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/top_with_unleashed_outline_600px-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.foolography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/top_with_unleashed_outline_600px-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br\/>\r\n<small>Illustration of the problem area &#8211; proportions are not exact.<\/small>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>We now need to wait until we get a D800, in order to evaluate whether it might be possible to make the Unleashed fit by modifying its casing (i.e. cutting or sanding off the one edge of the back of the Unleashed) to fit the slanted edge of the lens mount, and how we will need to redesign the next version of the product to account for the changes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A few days ago, Nikon announced the D800 and the D800E, and again they did not build in a GPS Receiver.
