It weighs less than 3lbs, no problem wit a dslr... Add a c-frame and top handle and it's golden

This will support my sony z1u, this thing is heavy duty, I think this rig will with stand 50lb with no problem.

I'm using a Canon 70D an it holds it great. You could also check it out on YouTube see if the helps.

i have this Rig and it works great with my DSLR and a Prime ZEISS 50MM lens. anything above 6lbs, becomes kind of heavy for the arms. but the rig can handle 10lbs easy.

I haven't attempted anything near that weight. It did do well with a DSLR and Tamron 150-600 lens, but that is no where near 33 lbs.

4.4lbs according to Slik, so I wouldn't push it past five. However it holds my DSLR with 75/300 without problems.

It will support the weight. I would mount via lens for more stability . If using the lens at higher ranges you will have to be very good to hold it still enough for a hood focus. O have no problem up to 300 but after that it depends on wind and how much hiking I've done.

I would go with something larger for a DSLR. I think it would support the weight but something a little larger would be more steady with the camera attached, especially at any sort of an angle.

The heaviest rig I have is a Canon 7D with a 70-200L 2.8 and it handles it well (with the lens collar of course). Don't think I would go any heavier, especially if it was a 500mm prime.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

I've used mine with a Nikon D200, which is right at the upper limit of its listed capacity. I have to set it up very carefully, and I use it for that camera only in an emergency. I wouldn't recommend it for anything heavier.

I just saw Paul's answer below. He is right that this is a "light duty" tripod, perfect for the Rebel series - I use it only when I'm backpacking, and I need to minimize weight (I have a larger Manfrotto for studio use). Having said that, however, I do regularly mount a 5D with a 70-200mm zoom on this tripod with no problem (about 7 pounds total, I think). The tradeoff will be carrying weight versus large camera-lens combo stability, so make your selection with your intended camera system and location use in mind.

I couldn't say exactly, I had a dslr with 200mm lens on it but it was wobbly.

think sony rx10 can support, lumix fz1000 is quite heavy although i haven't seen it yet.

My best response is true. While it can handle more weight and be counter balanced easy enough, there is some bending that can happen which will warp the metal. A dslr and a decent lens is fine but don't pile on a bunch of other gear or you'll end up with a bent jib.

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

It should work out just fine. This rig is made for DSLRs <6 pounds. If you should ever upgrade cameras, for example; 2k, this rig acts as a good starting ground.

Hey Barbara, I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

The wonderrig is great! With my camera, a canon 60d, it weighs a little under 10 pounds. I've used my rig in many different ways, it's very useful. Also, for the price it's very durable. If you're really going to be shooting a lot you will find yourself using this piece of equipment very often.
