Hi Mary,
I am not sure which other cameras have a tripod mount that is not molded or directly mounted to the main chassis, but this is definitely the first time I ever saw it. Not only that the base of the D800 is basically hollowed or lack of any metal as can be seen on Armando\'s last photo.
The rest of your questions can be found after you go through all the posts here.

how about \"most\".
the tripod mounts are structurally built into the base of the cameras. here is an image of a D4s i just took. in addition to the D4s there is the D4, D3 canon 1D3, 1D2, 1Ds 1Ds2 1D4 and a whole lot more. in the case of these how do you thing the get that rather large battery assy in there? then of course there are the optionally grip assys too. these are designed to hold the lenses that do NOT require a lens based mount.
going back further the F4s MB-21 grip assy is mounted to the baseplate tripod mount via a gearbox driven setup which has its own tripod mount built into it base with the batty compartment.
going even further back the rolleiflex\'s mounted the 3/8\" tripod mount on the L shaped back/film access cover.
