Can this vest system handle the weight of a Panasonic Ag-hvx200 and a glidecam 3000 stabilizer?

Yes, it can. The springs on this system is VERY STIFF. I have a Canon XHA1S and Glidecam HD2000 and it flies fine (this is probably comparable to your HVX200 and Glidecam 3000...~10 lbs) but performance is bad. The problem is the single arm. It does not reduce enough of the up-down movement from your body, so I returned mine. Maybe enought practice will make your shots smoother but I don't have that patience. I want something that will require less out of me. This unit is also sold on Ebay under multiple different brand names. I ended up buying a Wieldy dual arm and adapted that to my Glidecam HD2000 and love it. The Wieldy can fly my 5DMIII + Glidecam HD2000 or XHA1S + HD2000. You won't regret the Wieldy and it doesn't matter anyway as both this unit and the Wieldy are knockoffs made in China anyway...my 2 cents.

not sure of the weight limit however i have a 65" PANASONIC THAT the mount has no problem with

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.

NO!!! it will NOT support a mid or heavy camera, not anything over 1lb. The problem lies in the leg's locking mechanism that will break, it's a common defect, I had a few of these and they all broke (and the cameras were never over 2lbs).

I use my tripod for my Professional Sony MC2000 series its pretty heavy camcorder and it does well to stabilize it and I EVEN USE IT AT TIMES ON A DOLLY NO ISSUES.

It should handle them. It can hold up to 6.6 lbs, from another site. It does have a 3-way head, rather than a simple pan-tilt head, as many video tripods have. The "flip" function is needed for still cameras so that you can use them in the vertical/portrait mode. (It's pretty useless for video, of course.) The quick-release plate is fairly wide and has a spring-loaded locating pin. However, it does not have any way to "lock" an SLR in position, other than by the friction of the screw. That can be a problem in the vertical mode with a long lens--it can cause the camera to rotate downward. Many higher-end tripod heads have a movable lip or bracket that can lock an SLR into position when pushed up against the camera's body. It's also not very good if you need to get down low with the SLR. The legs spread only at one angle and the center column cannot be reversed (that puts the camera UNDER the tripod). There's also no hook for hanging a stabilizing weight (e.g., a sandbag, your camera bag). It's not a bad compromise, though, if you have a Sony camcorder. If you don't, forget it: there are better tripods for the same price or less. Your SLR could weigh more than 2 lbs, depending upon what lens you use and whether you use a flash. Weigh it with the largest lens you have or calculate using the largest lens you might buy and the flash you have or might buy. I've had no problems with this and a Canon Rebel 2000 35mm SLR with an 80-300mm zoom lens, a battery grip and a Sunpak flash, but that is pushing it a bit.

Yes. I use it only on a tripod fully loaded with a monitor, follow focus, 2 lav receivers, recorder, shotgun mic and haven't had any issues with stability.

I have a Canon Sx50 which weighs 21oz (595g) and it handles it no problem. Hope this helps.

Hey there, right now I'm running a D800 with a 24-70mm and there is still a weight left so it should be ok. I am assuming the 80-200mm should be similar in weight. That being said, if size and portability is not a concern I would suggest a glide cam for smoother gliding. Else the steadicam is unbeatable for travelling.

Absolutely. There are several on YouTube showing this stabilizer with various camera systems.

To SPECIFICALLY answer your question, yes, the legs will support the weight just fine. With all that weight, be sure to have the camera tightened securely onto the tripod, and when it's where you want it, really tighten everything down so you don't get drift with the camera.

This is a small unit and I do not think it can support a camera unless it is very small and light. Under 20 grams

Yes, you can. Just make sure the belt you use is strong enough to handle the weight of your camera.

If it has a Camcorder mount on it, I use this device for Small HD camera's 2 LBs to 6Lbs best shoulder Support I've ever Purchased even better than my steady cam.

I'm not familiar with the equipment you are talking about, but if you are talking about quick video, I don't think you will have a problem. The monopod is really good for tight places too awkward for tripods. You might want to research the maximum weight specs on the description of this monopod and compare. I hope this helps.

Any camera that can be mounted on a tripod will work. The jib must be counter balanced with weights to balance it. The weights don't come with the jib but can be purchased at a sports store. So depending on the weight of the camera being used will determine the amount of counter-weights needed. I generally use a Panasonic HG-HMC-40 video camera which weighs a little over 3 pounds with added microphone and battery. It works well with my smaller video camera as well. Video or still camera will work but you will need a way to operate the camera.

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