I hear that this monopod is capable of stabilizing itself at the center, but is it capable of doing that with a camera and let's say a 70-200mm f2.8?

I just worked on a shoot with this monopod. We were able to balance it with a 50mm L on a 6D but our 24-70mm L wouldn't work.

Yes sir. Yet it's not design for that. If you have the lens tilted it's really hard to balance it.1 more thing... This is one awesome item.

You want to fix this steady mount to another tripod of monopod mount, and THEN attach a camera to the steady mount? I'm not sure that's feasible, or necessary, but I could just be misunderstanding your question.

Hello, This monopod has a 22lb load capacity. It will handle the 70-200mm2.8 lens without a problem. Regards, Roozbeh OC camera 949-347-1276

It is a sturdy monopod with good grip and can stabilize and tighten head in 90 degree vertical orientation. I've shot weddings with only this monopod and results were terrific. And it's relatively inexpensive. Can't go wrong. Mark Schreibman

Yes, most DSLR with reasonably big lenses will be stable. A stabilizing weight may be needed on the underhook.

Hello i don´t really thing that is stable on its own, is the same that using the camera hand held, i recommend the use of a good tripod.

yes, provided you steady it on a monopod or fence or the car window or the like. You can hand hold at high shutter speeds as well, but of course keeping it steady is key. Also, should not shoot in low light.

Yes, the top where the camera sits will twists 360 degrees if you want. The base also twists. It is on a ball and rotates or pivots from side to side. I took it on a hike and it was helpful to have the added stability of the monopod.

I have bought two of these ( wife & I) and we love them. Use them with all our zoom lens and tele photo lens, but don't have the 70-210 lens, but don't see why it would be any different. Highly recommend the monopod. You can get stable sharper pics and faster than a tripod and more mobile.

Yes, it has in the center a thread that you could attach to a monopod, a tripod etc. I've attached mine to a mini tripod, works well.

This can double as a monopod, sort of, but it is much shorter and much more compact than a monopod. One key difference is the head on this rotates 180 degrees, which a monopod won't do without a special head (a ball head could do this, but that is a lot of added expense). What makes this so awesome is that you can get just the right angle. I use this for shooting video (and sometimes photos) on my smartphone - great for shooting over a crowd, way down low, or at a variety of unique perspectives that can really enhance your photos & videos and make them stand out from those shot from typical eye-level angles. The tilt adjustment really enhances the use of this. This can double as a monopod, sort of, but it is much shorter and much more compact than a monopod.

Yes, this version of monopod has a fixed plate, so if you want to tilt a camera, you need to buy a separate head.

I is very sharp when I use my monopod for stability--best lense I have ever used

absolutley works fine. it reduces the aperture to 5.6 so you'll want stabilization of some kind. we use a monopod with a benro head.

The cameras position is fixed but you can easily spin around the the entire monopod 360 degrees, there is a metal point at the bottom that allow this.

You can tighten the screws at the base of the monopod which would effectively make it more difficult to move it around on its feet. It won't be very smooth for movement, however.

I haven't tried that, but possibly. But not in just any position and it would depend on the lens and body too. (weight) It would probably hold it in some position, but possibly not exactly how you want it. (It may drift some or a lot with too much weight)
