Does this tripod really weigh under 2 lbs?

I haven't weighed it but I carry it in my day pack when I'm out and about and basically am not aware of it, weight-wise.

It is very light. We used it for our trip to Rome and would stuff it in our backpack and it was fine. Not sure if it's excatly 2 pounds. But it is quite light.

I haven't checked the specs, but it is really quite light. Perhaps 2 pounds or so?

I would not trust it whatsoever with anything over 2lbs. Even at 2 it's a little bit sketchy. And like the other answer said, this product is so-so at best. If you're using a point and shoot or go-pro on it, fine. But it's not enough for a DSLR like a Canon T2i or T3i or anything larger.

Yes, it is. I love this tripod. It is lightweight, is tall enough for me and even my hubby who is 6'2" could use it easily enough.

No, it does not. It says S6252. Be advised that the tripod is rated at maximum for four pounds also. It is IMO a well made product, complements my other light weight tripod and my 70" model.

Just at 2 pounds. It seems heavy, but it certainly is worth carrying the weight around!

My camera and telephoto lens weighs 7lbs. and there is no problem. It is very sturdy but don't try to use it as a stand alone tripod. It can tip easily.

According to this review, 20 lbs. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/8941642276/travel-tripods-comparing-5-aluminum-kits/4 It's very sturdy but I have only used it with ~ 1 lbs.

I don't have a small digital scale but it's less than 2lbs. I'm sure if we were to google it we could probably come up with a more exact weight.

I have weighed my AGFA APT50 Tripod. The tripod weighs about 15.3 oz and the "nylon" or similar drawstring bag is another .4 oz or so. It is a a real bargain for a small tripod to travel with.

I would say it's no more than 10 lbs. The construction of the tripod is very good and sturdy once you get everything up and running.

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.

No, its not 20 pounds!!! lol That's the amount it can support. I don't have a scale but its pretty heavy - maybe 2½ - 3lbs. I use mine on a dolly slider. Plus the plate is almost the same as my Manfrotto 200PL... Hope that helps.

Yes. Or at least mine certainly does. Oddly the stabilization goes a bit wonky if there is no motion at all, so just don't use it when you're on a tripod.

Yes I think so, It's a very strong tripod. Really well made and easy to use. I'm very happy with it.

This is a super lightweight tripod and is good for a small compact camera. Anything heavier than a small compact camera is questionable, as far as stability goes.
