Would this be able to support a 7DMii, battery grip and a 70-200 or 70-300 and still slide smoothly?

I have used this slider with some beasty rigs (5D Mk. II, batt grip, rod & rails, lens) and it has worked fine. I think the biggest trick is making sure the camera/lens combo is balanced properly; you don't want it too front-heavy or else it will stutter as you try to slide it. For a long lens like you've mentioned, I would definitely recommend mounting to the tripod collar on the lens itself. If you're using a heavy lens that doesn't have a collar, consider mounting the camera on a rod & rail system or a bracket of sorts that moves the center of gravity as close as possible to being over the slider block.

I have a 7D and it slides perfect with my 18-135. For the price it is a good slider. If your willing to invest more money I'm sure you could find better one, but for me i thought this was great.

No. It will not be stable. Even if you attach it with the pin above the trigger area, it needs the rail part to keep it from moving. Sorry.

After buying this product I took it as a lost. I have a canon 70d with a battery grip. Can you explain your problem a little more. The problem I have with it is that the bottom never threads enough onto the screw (on my slider). As a result it wobbles from side to side. But in terms of hold the camera it does just that once I turn the only nob available

It works fine for 7d, but big and heavy. I prefer use single battery, light and can shot up to 700 shots with its original battery per charge.

I have a manfrotto with 502ah head and I add anorher 5lbs weight to balance my Canon 5Dmk3. No problem.

Yes it does I use it on my manfrotto heavy duty stand sliding a 5dmkii using a 16-35

If you mount a quality ball head on it you should have no issues. I have a Nikon D7000 w/battery grip and mount my Sigma 150-500mm lens on it and it works great!

I thyink it would work fine. Mine is quite stable, yet light enough to move as needed.

I use mine on an Olympus body, haven't experienced any friction when mounting.

Absolutely. It is not light but you quickly get used to the feel. Great spin to make it drop on the back edge for winning points. I have both the 400 and the 700 and I think. Like the 400 better.

I have no idea... other than if it fits nice and tight....when I screw the grip on it lines up well and tightens up fine.. no wobbling. That would be my guess. I love the grip. It helps stabilization for me .. feels good and looks good, plus I have an extra battery all of the time. I keep both batteries charged all of the time and it gives me plenty of capture time!

I use it regularly with a Canon 7D and a 24-70 as well as a 70-200 and have not had any trouble.

Not sure if it will or not. It supports my Nikon D7000,18-300 and auxillary battery with no problems. That set up weighs just shy of 5 pounds. It has a built in hook in the center. I hang my camera backpack there for extra stability especially if it is windy. Hope that info helps.

It can but it wouldn't be ideal. When your camera is out on the ends of the slider there will be a little movement. Best if used with two Tripods. Not 100% sure on weight but I would say 6-7lbs

I have used it only to support a Canon speedlite with a Rogue grid. But I imagine it could support practically anything with proper use of the included sandbag. You want to sandbag your light stand, too.

Definitely. I used it with my T3i and a 70-300 zoom. Very secure construction, in my opinion.

I would have to say no as this is a small unit & supports my Canon 580II Speedlite. It is stable for that but I think a camera body would be a little much for this ball mount. You need a larger more stable ball head for your camera body & you have to consider you will have a lens on the camera body that will add more weight to the overall.
