Weight Capacity: I'm taking a Large Format Photography class and we're using heavy 4 X 5 View Cameras...do you think this tripod would be able to hold that?

I don't have this tripod, but based on my experience from using a 4x5 in classes before, I'm gonna say no. I actually had to rent heavy-duty tripods from the school to use with the 4x5. The 4x5 is really heavy, and you don't want to risk anything with it. I have a pretty sturdy tripod already, and I was going to use that with the 4x5, but the screws wouldn't fit properly from the 4x5 to the tripod, and I bought an adapter, but that was still unsuccessful. You should stick with a large heavy duty tripod that is specifically good for 4x5s.

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.

Absolutely, It is a great tripod for photography. It's good for use by even the largest of dslr's.

I would say the max load is about ten pounds. I just got it out and tested it using only one leg and it held about 5-10 pounds just on one leg. So when all of them are set out and stable it would have no problem holding your camera and lenses. I really like this tripod the only downside to me is the height. The construction and build are definitely quality.

I don't the exact weight of your Canon DSLR. I know for a fact that this tripod will definitely hold an equipment that is just slightly over 2 pounds but no more. I have not tested this with an equipment weighing 3 pounds. It may be able to handle it if this tripod is standing on it's 3 feet on a flat surface. It might be a different store when you have this pod clip to a tree, branches, pole or other objects. Good luck.

Jorge, I don't have this tripod but I recommend against trying it. The tripod is rated at 18 pounds and you'll exceed that with the weights. More to the point, the boom will put stress on the connection. I finally bought the tripod for it and it works really well (and my good tripod is safe once again!)

Never heard of that tripod so cannot advise you. If you do some measuring perhaps you can compare your measurements with the specs of the product. Sorry I cannot be more helpfull

Lynn, I think it will work fine. What time of equipment/weight are you putting on it? The tripod is compact, but i wouldn't use it to support a heavy camera and lens.

It should hold it just fine. Bear in mind it isn't a heavy duty tripod, and it won't take getting knocked around much, but for the price it's been great.

Keep in mind that the actual tripod structure can bear this weight. However, the clamps to adjust the angle of the tripod may not be able to bear the weight.

Hi. The amount of weight the tripod can hold May be due also to the head chosen. I suggest going to the tripod manufacturer website and look at theMax weight per head and the fully extended leg height Best place for your specific questins

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.

I personally have not tried for this application. However, my opinion you need a larger tripod

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.

Absolutely not. It couldn't even hold my T4i with a 55-250mm lens. When I put it on the tripod head, it would just fall forward.

Here's the thing. Yes, it will hold it. But, you don't want it to. This tripod weighs maybe 16oz at best. I wouldn't trust my old Kodak 126 with rotating cube flash attached to this thing!

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.
