will this tripod handle a nikon 7000 with 50-500 sigma lens, which weights 10-12 pounds in total? If not, what will at this price range?

pretty sure no. this is a very light weight tripod which is good for DSLR camera but not with a big zoom lens.

I am not sure... I have a Nikon 7000 and the sigma 50-150 f/2.8 which it handled with ease. I think that's at the top end of what that travel ball head can do though. I bought another ball head and I am trying it out.

Hi Stuart,This Benro tripod won't be able to hold that heavy load. It can take the load up to 5.5 lbs. You can try Dolica Tripods. They are good and little cheaper too. Take a look at this one, although I haven't used it:Dolica ZX600B103 Professional 60-Inch ZX Series Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head and Carry Bag (Black)This tripod is very lightweight also. This will not help you heavy camera assembly stabilize and you might not have good results.So, my suggestion would be spend some more $$$ and get a better and heavier one which will provide more support and more stability.Some of the new Manfrotto tripods are also good.Hope this helps you for your tripod purchase.Regards.

yes i think so i would go with the travel angel a2691t bigger head holds up to 26 pounds you have 1.7 pound on nikon and about 4 on lens that should be fine

It should... my D3100 + a 55-200mm lens weighs about 1100 grams. The description says it holds up to 3 kilos. It all depends on how you adjust the legs and the angle of the camera. I've used mine clamped to the railing of a cruise ship. I took great care in wrapping the legs and balancing the camera before letting go completely to use the remote release.

I have a Canon 70D with a Sigma 150-500 mm 4.5 pound lens and it's very solid... and great for adjusting on uneven terrain... Had mine a year and love it... very well built!!

Nope. There is a response that says this is a flimsy tripod and it is not for a travel tripod. I am a pro and use it as a travel tripod. I use a D800 and a Arca tech ball head and will handle everything to a 70-200vr f2.8. I don't extend everything out with that and weight it down. It it not as good as my huge $800 tripod, but that is to be expected.

It will hold up to 15lbs. It works great with my D7000 and an 18-105 plus a 10lb sandbag which is heavier than your current setup.

I've used this tripod to hold a dslr attached to a spotting scope. I'm sure that the total weight was over six pounds and the tripod handled it with no problem at all. I'm sure that it will be fine for your binoculars.

I'm not familiar with that camera, but I just looked it up. The weight is 1.2 lbs? My Nikon D80 weighs about 3 lbs., so I would say yes, but use caution. It's a great travel tripod, because it's so lightweight and you get some decent height, but the top piece is plastic. It's probably intended for compact cameras and I do use it for my Samsung S4 more often than my Nikon, however, if you remain aware of it's limitations it's extremely useful. I use mine pretty frequently and I don't exactly have a delicate touch, however I'm careful not to change positions too quickly on it, etc. Hope that helps! :)

I do not have the 50" tripod but the 72" my camera is 595g/ 21oz and it holds it well.Www.perfectlycapturedbeauty.webs.com

I would not recommend it for the D3100 - it may work in a pinch .. but you'd want a heavier tripod for he D3100 in my opinion

l have used it with a Canon 7D and a Tamron 70-300 mm lens. At least 2lbs in total. A counter weight helps stability.

I have used it with my Nikon d5100 and up to a 55mm-300mm lens. It worked decently well for a compact tripod to take on the hike in my camera bag. I would suggest a remote release with it though.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

I use this with a Canon 7D. It's very well balanced with a camera on it. My tripod is a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 but I think just about any tripod above the cheap lower priced models would suffice.

This is a sturdy tripod. I have never tested it, but it should handle fifteen - twenty pounds.

I am not certain of the max weight because I only use mine for a tabletop telescope (about 8-10lbs) but I can tell you this tripod is build like a tank and is very high quality. I would not hesitate in putting 20-30 lbs on it with no worry

This monopod will definitely support the Sigma 150-500. The monopod is extremely sturdy. I use the Really Right Stuff Monopod head to connect my lenses to this monopod. That makes it much easier to change out lenses as needed.

Yes. The combined weight of your setup is about 2.5 lbs, and this tripod can hold up much more than that.
