Can the legs support long telephoto lenses? My heaviest lens+camera = 9lbs.

The gun pod has very atrong legs, it holds my rifle that weighs 8 ibs. No problem.

My rifle weights 11 pounds. Note some of that weight is transferred to my shoulder. I would think it would be more than strong enough. If it wiggles, its not the pods fault, you have to support and keep steady the lens or rifle.

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

Most likely it is however it really depends on how much weight it is supporting. I use mine as a travel tripod with my Fuji XT1 and 55-200 lens as the heaviest combo I would attempt. It really is a great little tripod and so compact for traveling.

No I do not think the legs on this unit are strong enough for your setup. Go with a higher quality tripod such as Really Right Stuff.

in a word yes, but if it's all you are going to use it for it's total over kill, I use my carrier for a Canon 7D with a 100-400 lens on it, you should consider something more light weight for a (great) point and shoot, the weight of my gear helps keep the carrier in place as well something that light might cause the carrier to be, ummmm, floppy if that makes sense

It is so heavy that you must have a very sturdy tripod. I have had on going trouble with the adapter. So much so that I have not used the lens for over 2 months.

Its tko nig for an SLR unless ypu add an external flash bracket and it would be heavy

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.

Probably too heavy - this monopod is great quality but not heavy duty. I use it with the Sony NEX 7 and a 200mm compact zoom and that starts to stress the monopod when fully extended.

Hi Samit, I don't have a lens that large but if you screw the camera on snugly, it should work. The tripod itself is very study for what I've used it for. You can lock the top into place so I imagine it should bear the weight. Again, I haven't tried the extra weight on it myself, but it's worth a shot! Andrea

Yes, I attached mine and it is very secure. I use it with a Canon 500mm so it certainly handles the weight.

Yes. I currently shoot with a Nikon D610 with lenses as large as those mentioned and have no problem. This tripod is a benchmark of stability.

To be honest I have not tried it with my DSLR. The legs appear to be sturdy though, and do grip to vertical objects. I am not sure I would trust my gripped Canon 7d on it though. I will try it today and get back to you :)

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's not very sturdy. I put a Canon T5i camera with a long throw lens (about 4 pounds) on it and it was very noisy and struggled. I was not very happy with this product and would only recommend it for people wanting to display stuff like jewelry or other VERY light items.

No absolutely not, that camera is too heavy for this tripod, the leg handles will break under the weight.

I really don't know why not if this camera has a standard tripod mount. The lens described is not unusually long or heavy and the tripod is quite capable of supporting it and the camera without tipping over. The legs lock in an adequately large triangle. If it (or any tripod) seems unstable when supporting such gear, be sure the lens is directly over one of the legs when in use. However, I don't believe this should be necessary in the described camera and lens.
