It looks great for more compact compound bows, but I've got an older compound that's taller and heavier. I'm afraid the tripod design may get tipsy.

Personal opinion... Although the tripod may look a little flimsy, it is actually quite the opposite. I used the product when shooting my newer Bear compound but I would not hesitate using the product with an older, heavier compound. No the product may not standup to rough abuse but I doubt most people will be throwing or dropping their bows onto the foldout legs. I think you'll be fine with the product.

Works good for my PSE. Tripod design does get tipsy if surface is slightly uneven. I haven't found anything better in the price range.

Honestly I wouldn't buy this product first one came broken sent second one back because you can tell that with use its bound to break again. Good idea poorly executed design with cheap materials

I have an older compound and a large re-curve both fit on the bow rest with out any tipping except when I run into the bow. It is surprisingly stable

Have not used it much. I like it and it fits all 3 of my bows. It is very light , takes getting use to it. Holds all my bow stuff. Hope this helped.

Well, I haven't used it in a while, but I think it will be alright. as long as the ground is reasonably level. My only issue with the thing is that my arrows are an inch or two longer than most and barely fit. The pockets are fairly useless.

I have two of these and use them for Recurve bows. Stability does not seem to be any issue.

my bow weights 4.5 lb plus the accessories and I do not have problem tipping if you practice and looking to put your bow to retrieve arrows it is the best thing to sliced bread.

Yes. You might want to buy a sturdier one later, though. Not a bad tripod, just not the best.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

I use a 45 #compound and it works fine for that. The leather is real heavy and thick. My bow is adjustable and later on when I build up more strength Ill increase it to 55 and so on. I really think it could handle it

I have this tripod and I absolutely love it. I have a Canon 60D and can cantilever it out over my subject without any problems. You will have more weight they me, however, the stand is equipment to attached a cantilever weight to stabilize the tripod. I don't think you can go wrong.

It might just make it because the Sony HXR-MC2000N weighs approx 6.4 pounds and this tripod can support weight of 6.61 pounds. I personally think its too close for comfort. I'd probably look for something a little more stronger. This tripod will really work great for weight in the 5 pounds and under, reason is because it will cause some shake or vibrate a lot with any thing over 5 pounds.

I think that it could be use fine with another brands of tripod because the join is only in the base and the claps are adjustable. Important to know that when you put its with the same brand tripod its not open completely.

I believe there is a mini tripod available you can purchase but it would too narrow for a traditional tripod

mine is not a compound but the main thing is is the length of the bow not necessarily the foot pounds. hope this helps

This compact monopod is too small. I would not put no more than three pounds on this monopod. My Canon PowerShot SX20IS works well with this. You should look at Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN I think this will work better for you.

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

It would be awkward and very heavy. It's not a small grip. I really don't think it would be possible, and certainly not practical, to try and use it without a tripod.

hi, i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

Yes - it's designed to be attached to a *tripod* or perhaps you'd use a Mono-pod, as I have occasionally. There's a ZOOM "Bundle" available that includes a *tripod*, however you may want to supplant it with yet another TALL tripod sometimes.

It has a 3/8 threaded hole for which you could get an adapter to take it down to 1/4 20. It's a hefty head so just make sure the tripod is strong enough to take it.

This tripod may work fine with a pocket camera, but with a DSLR camera or something close I would recommend something sturdier due to the camera's size and weight.

I don't have a recurve but most likely... It is a much larger case than expected and think for something as compact as a recurve(especially with detachable limbs) I would look for something much smaller. I bought it for a Mathews ZXT with parallel limbs and there is a TON of extra, unused space. Just my 2 cents!
