How much weight will this tripod hold? Planning on using it to hold a Canon T3i, with a standard or zoom lens as well as a small 8 in tablet that will be mounted on the camera.

I have found that by adding large vise grips to the each of the legs this tripod will support a a Canpn T3 with a Canon 100mm macro lens, a Tameron 2x teleconverter and a set of Kenos Extension tubes and it could proably support a good deal more. I use one large vise gripe on two of the legs and two more on the third leg along with another small vise gripe otherwise it will trip over when I put all that weight on it.

The owner's manual states: "This product has been designed to handle equipment weighing under 2 kgs (4 Ibs 6 oz). Do not overload." As well as: "Some equipments weighing under 2 kgs (4 Ibs 6 oz), such as long lenses, may not balance well due to its weight distribution. In such case, please use a larger tripod."

I'm using this tripod with a Canon T3i with a 18-135mm, and it works fine. This tripod is actually bigger and stronger than I had thought initially, and while it may not be very practical to carry, it certainly is very strong.

I bought this one because my first tripod was too flimsy. It's worked out well for me. I always use a remote shutter release so I don't have experience with it's stability while manually shooting. I've also never used a tablet on it.

I am not too sure but all I know is I have a full size canon camera and it hold its weight with no problem. My camera weight about 6 pound. I hope this help.

I would not trust it whatsoever with anything over 2lbs. Even at 2 it's a little bit sketchy. And like the other answer said, this product is so-so at best. If you're using a point and shoot or go-pro on it, fine. But it's not enough for a DSLR like a Canon T2i or T3i or anything larger.

It is definitely a nice lightweight tripod, but I would not use it with that setup!A 5d 2 and a smaller lens maybe but not with a 70-200

I do not know the maximum weight but I do not think it would safely hold a heavy camera. We do a lot of photography also and I would not trust it for that. My husband is using this for a spotting scope while hunting and that is about the most I would trust it on.

NO! It will not bear the weight of that. The plastic leg locks will break and collapse, already tried it, don't risk an expensive camera on a cheap one-use tripod like this.

Hi, the pro series tripod I received with this package is able to hold my canon T5i including 75-300mm lens. The tripod when extended to full length is not very solid but can work fine with no major issues in balance for a DSLR

I used the manfroto to hold a canon rebel camera. Not sure the weight but you can find out,

I would go with something larger for a DSLR. I think it would support the weight but something a little larger would be more steady with the camera attached, especially at any sort of an angle.

Have the Canon T3i. The bag is a little too small for this camera and lenses. However the bag is good quality and would recommend for a smaller camera.

It depends on the weight of the Camera. If you plan to use a tripod buy a good one.

Yes the quick release plate will fit it and the camera isn't too heavy, but I would not put any heavy lenses on the camera. I usually half the load capacity of tripods for reasonable use, so for this one I would say 4-5lbs should be just fine.

Absolutely not. It couldn't even hold my T4i with a 55-250mm lens. When I put it on the tripod head, it would just fall forward.

It is a very well built tripod. However, the answer to your question really depends on what size/type camera you intend to use with it. I would be a bit leery putting a full size, digital SLR with a large zoom lens on this.

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

I use it with a canon T3i w/ a 50-250 lens with a batterie pack and it is rock solid! Love this tripod the ball head is awesome and very easy to use.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.
