Is it sturdy enough to support a Canon 5D Mark II with 100mm macro lens vertically (lens pointed at ground)?

I would assume so, I use a Nikon D800 with a 28-300 on it and it holds up just fine. Although I usually point mine up not down ;-)

Yet it is. I use a Nikon D2x with a AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm 1.2.8 lens without any problem.

I use it with a Nikon D80 and 18-200mm lens. I have also added flash at times and the weight is something over 4 lbs at that point. I have used it in this configuration out-of-doors in a wind and have not been concerned about stability.

This is just a personal opinion - I use this support for the 24-105 when on occasion I'm using slow exposures because it does not have a tripod mount and it is heavy and allows vibration during exposure. On lenses with balancing tripod mount, this doesn't seem to be an issue. That being said, the mount does come apart and extend a great deal, and could be adapted either for mounting the camera or lens, giving a two point support instead of one, albeit with the front support somewhat in the way.

I use it with NIkon D610 + Nikkor 28-70mm 2.8 and it's super sturdy! It will definitely hold 70-200mm too. The max load is more than 5Kg.

It would support a point and shoot just fine as long as there is a place to screw the tripod onto the bottom of the camera, as it is the only way to attach the camera to the tripod.

I have a Canon 5 d Mark ii with a vertical grip and a 70-200 lens and I wad very impressed how steady this tripod held the camera. I thought it was going to wabble but it held it steady in any angle I placed it. It feels light but it delivers.

I've used this with a Sony Alpha and very heavy 500mm lens. (I've even used it with two cameras mounted at the same time.) I can't give an exact pound weight but it is a very stable mount and as long as you can balance the camera's center of balance properly, it will hold virtually any standard DSLR and lens.

No. This tripod, in my opinion, is not sturdy enough for your camera and lens combination. Go with a heavier aluminum tripod, or a high-end carbon fiber tripod.This tripod is only appropriate for a compact "point-and-shoot" camera.

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.

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.

I have used it with a 5d mark III w/ 70 - 200 mm f 2.8 lens on one side and a 60d with 24-70 mm f 2.8 plus strobe on the other with no issues. So it should be able to support your kit I think.

The tripod is very sturdy. It's kinda heavy so I would say it probably will hold that much weight.. I bought a huge lens & keep it attached at all times.

I couldn't say exactly, I had a dslr with 200mm lens on it but it was wobbly.

Yes, it is strong enough to hold a Canon 5D steady when fully extended. I've used it with a 5dmk3 + 70-200mm f2 is II and it was extremely stable fully extended.As far as in the wind, it is pretty stable in light to moderate wind, but can be overcome if the wind is strong enough of course. Remember, you could always add weight to center column hook if its a gusty day.

NO!!! it will NOT support a mid or heavy camera, not anything over 1lb. The problem lies in the leg's locking mechanism that will break, it's a common defect, I had a few of these and they all broke (and the cameras were never over 2lbs).

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.

The monopod is very sturdy and we've had great luck with it on a variety of cameras and situations. Although I'm not familiar with the weight of a 300mm lens or more importantly whether it puts a significant torque on the point of attachment, my gut says it will be fine, plus Amazon does stand behind their products...
