Would this be acceptable to mount on a roof to mount a camera on? How strong is it? Will it withstand wind?

I don't think this would be a good outdoor mount. Fine for indoor use with small cameras.

No. This is designed for pendant style mounting on an interior ceiling with camera hanging down.

I would not try mounting this camera upside down since it was designed for a vertical surface. Am sure you can find an alternative.

The wind flow is pretty strong even on low. The fan grilles are made of plastic so it probably wouldn't take a beating but if you are careful with it it should work for that.

Yes, fairly well. BTW: it will withstand wind a lot better if tie it down by taking separate ropes, and running over the top. The places where you supposed to tie the ropes on, will just pull holes in it when the wind blows. The screen doors don't last very well, wind or no.

Yes to the outdoors, the mount swings from horizontal as pictured to vertical so it could be screwed to a post, side of a house, etc. or just mount it to a board and set it on something tall.very versitile.

I use mine for outdoor events as a sale rack. I wrap one of my canopy weight bags around the pole above the tripod and I have not had problems with it tipping over since then. For extra insurance I can also wrap it around the canopy leg!

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. The only way I could see would be to set it on a lift or a scaffold. I bought this one to use as a heavy duty, stable camera tripod. It is reasonably stable, but still has some shake in certain windy conditions. It took some modification for the photo adaptation.

I wouldn't use it if it's too windy or more than a slight breeze. Those reflectors will catch the wind. I don't know how much they can withstand, but intend to be cautious with my stuff. I do place it on the floor of my deck and not up on a table. I don't want to risk it falling. BIf limit use to gentle breeze or less. Stuff breeze and above, I wouldn't want to risk it.

I would say it would be ok if you secured the ropes well - not super windy, but it could handle some wind because the top has an opening.

I have two other tripods. It spreads the same as they do. I do not think that a strong wind would topple it. But why would you be out there in a strong wind?

If you can find a location that is sheltered and doesn't have large temperature swings throughout the year you would probably be okay. I have 3 of these cameras on my front and back (covered) porches and they have held up great. If you are looking for something you can mount on the side of your house you will want to look elsewhere.

Probably not rugged enough and it lacks a base so it would likely blow away in any wind. Would not recommend.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

It would hold if tripod is used on level surfaces and in stable weather conditions. Do not use where there is wind or lots of children running around. I bought it because of its light weight to fly with it in my suitcase. I've taken it to Hawaii and New York. I mainly take landscape and macro flower shots.

The tripod is fairly stable but depending on the footing and wind you can get additional stability by hanging a weighted bag from a hook on the tripod. This is a lightweight tripod so long exposures may benefit from a heavier set up.

I would say it would be secure enough for this. the thing that MIGHT be a concern for photo equipment would be that the wheels/tires are not pneumatic, therefore over rough surfaces there might a good bit of vibration. hopes this helps

The tripod is on my house roof, and I've taken the ladder down. From memory, I can say that the 3 attachment points form an equilateral triangle of less than 2' per side, so it is not huge or unwieldy to set up. But it is extremely sturdy. It is supporting a mast of 1" by 10' EMT conduit with 2 antennas on it: a 7' 2-meter vertical (ham radio) and a small yagi for VHF and UHF HD TV.
