Could this be used for weighting gear for ultra lightweight backpacking?

I don't see why not. I have used it to weigh all sorts of things, example being by husbands medication.

Yes. I take it backpacking sometimes. Not sure but I'm a tall, big guy and works fine so far.

I wouldn't recommend it. If you'd really like to take it backpacking, I'd suggest making a PVC tube with end caps and a strap. Even in it's folded up condition, it's a little bulky for a backpack. PVC is light, cheap, and extremely tough.

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

I don't think it's overly heavy. Wouldn't plan on backpacking with it. But, it can be carried with one hand.

Ours got lost in shipping during our move so I do not have an accurate measurement for weight for it though I thought it was pretty light compared to the grinders you get that are pre-filled. There are mini grinders that would probably work well though for backpacking. As much as I loved the grinder, I am a runner and understand the every gram counting.

No, this would not be a good pack for carrying that much weight. I bought it to take on the Camino in the fall. It was great for afternoons and evening just to carry light weight personal items. The beauty of this pack is that is can be condensed. The straps are not very well padded. It is not intended to be used as a main back pack. More of a travel accessory.

I think it should work if you have a solid mounting plate. Depending on where the tripod screw is, as long as it is balanced, it should work. I use my GH2 on this which is lighter than your gear. It is made well and has worked well in the field.

sure, as long as the frame has a less then 6" diameter base at ground level. Velcro straps are adjustable, in Kansas, weights are a must. These work great. we use them always, best way to secure tent on pavement, maybe over bare ground too. Seen PLENTY of different tent weight ideas from bricks (my own!) to buckets of sand / concrete, to water. Weight bags are best.

Definitely too heavy for backpacking. I'd guesstimate it weights 15-20 pounds.

I believe so, well designed to distribute weight. It is very comfortable w/ my 8x42 Nikon's, but have not tried anything larger or heavier.

If you're light enough and shorter, you probably could, but it certainly was not designed for it. I would say no in general.

Yes and Yes.It is light (under 4lbs)- which is perfect for backpackingIt is very waterproof. Had it on a canoe trip and it rained, heavily, for 2 hours, then drizzled for a couple more after that.The tent was dry inside and even underneath.

I'm reasonably certain that the product would support the weight but the straps have minimal padding. I think it would be pretty uncomfortable to carry that heavy of a payload.

I don't consider it lightweight. Built solidly. I know this is a subjective answer but it isn't flimsy, if that's your concern.

I don't think it would be too heavy. It's well made and pretty lightweight used it extensively in Alaska and coated favorably to other units we saw
