l have used it with a Canon 7D and a Tamron 70-300 mm lens. At least 2lbs in total. A counter weight helps stability.

The weight that the tripod will support with the center column at 90 degrees will depend on the angle of the legs, as well as the length of the center column extension. The head that you choose will also have an effect on the weight that it can support. Visit the manufacturers website to get more detailed information http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php

The user manual does not say. Total loading capacity is 7.0 kg. (15.4 lbs.). With the central column fully extended at 90 degrees, this capacity would be considerably less since the tripod would be badly out of balance. The use of a counterweight would be required and there is a hook installed on the column specifically for this purpose. You would have to experiment with various weights and positions to determine what works best with your equipment. You may also have a problem with vibration with the central column extended since there is a loss of rigidity. I would guess this would be more severe, the heavier the equipment supported.

I am unsure of the exact weight. Between using the stone bag and/or how you position the tripod legs, it should handle most anything 'reasonable' on the center column in a 90 degree position.

My best answer would be around 8-10 pounds. I have a 3.2 pd lens attached to my Nikon D90 (2pds) plus I will attach weight balancer (6pds) for extra support sometimes and have had no problems even though the tripod is lightweight but very sturdy.

Yes. The combined weight of your setup is about 2.5 lbs, and this tripod can hold up much more than that.

You will probably need to purchase a mount that can hold a heavier load, especially if you're going to do any type of photography. I believe the capacity of this mount is 35lbs.

Around 44", but fully extended, this tripod is too flimsy to be steady for a camera. Can be better used as a small flash stand, or as a camera tripod when fully retracted. It is very light and compact.

It can hold up to 5 LB I believe. Make sure you have a really good tripod to support the job.

NO! It will not bear the weight of that. The plastic leg locks will break and collapse, already tried it, don't risk an expensive camera on a cheap one-use tripod like this.

You will not get a full 90 Degrees. This tripod is designed to be used on a table or when working close to the ground. If you want star trails it will do the job. otherwise I am unable to say.

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.

The column is of fixed length, but it can be slid to whatever adjusted length you wish. There are limits to the extension, according to the weight of the equipment and placement of the tripod legs, as it can topple. It is very useful for copying photos and documents, placing the camera parallel to the tabletop.

Not a lot. It's a very lightweight tripod and must be used on a solid, level surface. It probably could support a lighter dslr with a lightweight prime lens. But that would be the max. It's not the most stable tripod in the world, but it is small and light.
