Can the extension be removed and what is the maximum weight this rig can effectively support?

yes you can remove the extension and as far as the weight, I'm not entirely certain I want to say its 5-6 pounds. However I'm guessing it will support more than that given you have a sturdy enough tripod and sufficient counter weight on the back end. Hope that helps.

Yes it can be removed but it cannot operate without the tower attached. I hope I answered to your satisfaction otherwise I recommend you contact the dealer/distributor.

hiI personally can not probably, it's pretty heavy. But the guy who put it together did say that when you move, you can just lift it off. I still need to figure out how to do that. It looked pretty tightly attached to me. Hope it's helpful.

It will not support your weight due to the leverage being in the opposite direction that the original setup was designed for. Perform at own risk.

Hey Kenneth, i looked up this question myself through the manufacturer. When you have the "arms" extended up, let's say for doing squats, the max limit load is 300lbs i was told. I've put 300lbs on it and it's a bit shaky, so anything more than that I would not recommend. When the "arms" are retracted to their most lowest it's pretty stable and could hold a great deal more although i have not tested this with any more than 350lbs.

NO! The extension is rated for less than your winch, and the extension would increase the side loading WAAAAY too much.

The mount is adjustable and the two screws that hold the arm in place can be removed. This will allow you to take the arm off.

I cannot recommended any modifications as it will void the warranty. The only thing that I can recommend is ASIN: B00AR3PEVU, it is a 130 pounder.

the L bracket is adjustable for what you have on it and that part can be removed but you will still have the attachment point that comes up about one inch from the rail this you would have to cut off....

Fully extended, it handled my 100lb son hanging from it with no visable flexing. I mounted into standard 16inch oc studs.

I would love to help you, but I was not able to extend mine fully. It is not very sturdy and if you attempt to fully extend it the weight of the light mount alone will BEND the bar. I used it once and had to modify it for other things as it did not really meet my expectations. If you are using it for babies, and newborn shots, small subjects and other closer work, perhaps... but not for adults and other full sized subjects.

Yes and it can be adjusted further if need be. Be careful of the extension distance.

The stand is probably too large and too heavy to mount on a gooseneck extension. The support is not threaded under the rubber stopper but it is tubular so you may still have options.

You'd only use one piece. The adjustments are in slotted holes in each of the three extension pieces. It's a great mount. I ended up taking a hack saw to one piece though to get it the exact height I wanted.

Its all about the weight balance on this one...the heavier the front end, the heavier the back end should be to counter balance ...however I never tried to hook up a rig to it as of yet....but I believe its possible.

It can be removed but not easily - you want the beam attached securely to the legs or it will rock when you are on it.

It's easy enough to remove. It's not strong enough to hold 1200lbs. It seems to be as strong as most of these types of tailgates (not very strong). I destroyed a different brand by overloading it and replaced it with this one. It seems to work just fine for what it's made for and that's keeping things in the bed of the truck.
