Can it hold heavy objects like binoculars?

This mono pod should easily hold binoculars. It can hold a heavier camera & does not collapse with force/weight exerted when standing. It is stable.

It seemed to hold my 3 pound pair of binoculars, but the head is so flimsy that it was not stable. I wouldnt trust the quick release mount with anything heavy. The bushings (if you can call them that) for the pan and tilt bearings dont increase/decrease in friction nicely with changes in clamp pressure so it is hard to smoothly move a camera or binoculars and the heavier it is the harder it seems it is to move smoothly.

Don't know a weight limit, but I use mine for a spotting scope which is fairly heavy.

I don't think so. Likely too top heavy with too narrow a base. I'd look for something on a tripod to handle what you want to support.

I think so, not too big like regular size binoculars. I think they would be strong enough for bird watching, thats my personal opinion!

Yes. I believe it will hold that weight. its very sturdy built. I think it would even hold an old style tube monitor which are very heavy.

Thank you for your inqury. This tripod would work very well with those binoculars: http://www.amazon.com/Orion-5373-Large-Tritech-Tripod/dp/B0000XMYOC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1402099931&sr=8-8&keywords=orion+tripod.

Weight wise yes it will hold and for extra stability there is a hook in the lower middle that you can attach a small weight to to help keep more movement down even more. Skymaster also carries the binocular mount that you will want to use. Several companies make them so shop around if you like. Skymasters was just under $16. The binocular mount is very different from the photo piece that comes with the tripod but it will just be a matter of a flip of a switch to remove the photo screw in then insert your binocular insert to the same area. I would recommend that you always attach the piece to your binoculars first before locking on place into the tripod.

It's advertised as a Reflector Holder, but imagine it might be capable of holding a speedlight and softbox. *but* you'll definitely need to use sandbags so it won't tip over.

Definitely not, it is much too heavy unless you have some major duty hanging tools.

I dont know if its possible unless you can get something sturdy to attach it to and keep the telescope balanced. You can try looking for a table top tripod but the telescope has to be secure otherwise it might fall because its heavy and bulky

Not know those binoculars, I'm guessing yes considering it held the huge Orion Giant View binoculars. The tri pod is not small and does have a bit of weight to it but I found it very high quality and easy to maneuver. It has 12" ruler markings on the legs so u can make sure set even.

Not sure about the binoculars, but it has a standard bolt to fit any camera

I mount the celestron skymaster 15x70 on this tripod. It is very sturdy and would probably handle something heavier if I needed it to. The weakest link in the system was the tripod adapter that came with the binoculars. They are made of flimsy plastic. Which was easily fixed with some quick setting putty - http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/13/6/epxy_putty/overview/Loctite-Repair-Putty-Multi-Purpose.htm

Yes. The small camera/lens mount cannot support the weight of a heavy lens.

Possibly. I think it would depend on the weight of the items you are looking to use it for.

I use it to mount large binoculars, so I wouldn't use them in a vertical mode.
