Will this tripod hold a 8lbs(approx) telephoto lens with a canon 6d attached?

Yes it will hold 8 pounds of gear but I found it to be incredibly unstable with a 12 pound load.

Probably - It holds a Nikon D90 with an 18-105 lens, which weighs 2.5 pounds.

it depends on how strong your tripod is? I had to purchase a heavier tripod in order to use this bcuz it is pretty heavy.... it weighs probably 8-10 lbs....

yes it will hold you camera as questioned. I prefer to store my camera with lens facing up. This assumes you have the standard lens attached. long telephoto lens maybe a problem.

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.

I really don't know why not if this camera has a standard tripod mount. The lens described is not unusually long or heavy and the tripod is quite capable of supporting it and the camera without tipping over. The legs lock in an adequately large triangle. If it (or any tripod) seems unstable when supporting such gear, be sure the lens is directly over one of the legs when in use. However, I don't believe this should be necessary in the described camera and lens.

I dont have a canon 6D, but it holds a canon rebel Xt with the 75-300 EF zoom lens (about 5.5 inches long).

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.

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.

I have found that by adding large vise grips to the each of the legs this tripod will support a a Canpn T3 with a Canon 100mm macro lens, a Tameron 2x teleconverter and a set of Kenos Extension tubes and it could proably support a good deal more. I use one large vise gripe on two of the legs and two more on the third leg along with another small vise gripe otherwise it will trip over when I put all that weight on it.

My guess is it would hold despite very small screws but would not work in windy conditions. That said, I plan to use the tripod for trips to Hawaii and Eastern Europe as it will fit into my suitcase. Helene

It should do. I have used mine on a gizto traveller's tripod which is very light and it worked fine, so the weight should not be an issue.

No, it will not hold of that. I would recommend the Lowepro Passport Sling, it has room for a DSLR with an extra lens and is expandable to hold other items such as you mentioned.

I think so, yes. I bought this tri-pod because it was lightweight and I was taking it on a long backpacking trip to do some long exposures. I had my Pentax DSLR with a heavier Sigma lens and it held it just fine. Just an FYI though, it is a cheap, very light tripod. Unless weight or cost is an issue, I would recommend a higher quality tripod. It's great for the weight-conscience cheapskate like me though.

Hi Samit, I don't have a lens that large but if you screw the camera on snugly, it should work. The tripod itself is very study for what I've used it for. You can lock the top into place so I imagine it should bear the weight. Again, I haven't tried the extra weight on it myself, but it's worth a shot! Andrea

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.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makes the tripod "slide" downward.
