Dose the kit weight of 1.6kg (3.5lb) include the ball head? Or is it the total weight of tripod + monopod? Thanks!

Hi The 3.5 lb is the the total weight of the kit. The tripod itself weighs 2.9 lbs.

The gph3+ is about the size of an egg and might weigh less than one. I fit the camera, the waterproof case, some assorted fittings, the arm strap, two different chargers, and three batteries in an old digital point and shoot camera case about the size of small nerf football. The whole thing must weigh less than two pounds. If you just take the camera and housing, it's probably a pound or less. I determined I needed far less than what came with the backpack, but I used the backpack as my carry on, so I couldn't really tell you what the whole kit weighed. Most everything is plastic and lightweight tho. Hope that helps.

Comes with everything in the picture. The head, legs, nylon bag. Not a top end tripod, but handles heavy weight and when brand name hidden, no one knows its a cheap tripod. Definitely worth it. Im looking at getting a second one.

I have not weighed it. However, it IS pretty heavy. You actually have to attach the lens to your tripod and then attach the camera to the lens. Then it is steady.

The weight capacity of this tripod is 11 pounds. The mono pod that is part of this tripod also has a weight capacity of 11 pounds.

Don't know the specific answer but do know it has a hard time handling my 600mm lens. Works fine with my 5d and wide angle or macro lens. I bought it for light weight versus stability . I'm considering getting another more stable tripod to use when I'm not backpacking.

While this ballhead is designed for a lightweight camera, you can, in a pinch, use it for a heavier unit. On a recent trip to Poland, and traveling light, I used this ballhead to support my medium format Bronica film camera. Keep in mind, the purpose of a monopod is to help steady the camera as opposed to the full support of a tripod

I am not sure about the weight of that camera model, but this is one of the sturdiest tripods I have ever seen! Hope this helps!

It is aluminum and weighs 4.4 lbs. Very versatile tripod. Good bang for the buck.

Far less than 1 lbs actually, any camera over 1 lbs WILL cause the plastic on the leg locks to break. The specified bearing weight is clearly a lie, don't fall for it. This tripod can not hold a heavy object, much less its own weight.

I already had tripod and didn't have to buy anything else. There was no ball head like mount. It fits just like a camera or camcorder would to tripod.

The manufacturer lists this ball head as supporting about 4 lb (~2 Kg). You can figure out what your camera weighs.

No. don't worry if u buy it, its less than 50 pounds I can say! but if you buy the entire kit with it, is a bit heavy

Exact weight I dont know, but I can tell you that it does slide pretty smoothly. You are going to need a good ball head and two tripods as well. It is too heavy for a smooth straight operation on one tripod.

Hello. Yes, the attached Slik SBH-100 ball head can be removed from the monopod itself, so any head with a 1/4"-20 mount can be substituted. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day! Deven Morgan Event Cameras

Yes. My mini-pro Slik III came with the ball head (a shown). My brother-in-law bought a Slik mini that came with a regular rectangular mount that turns and is adjustable, but I do not like it as much as the ball head. (So, if you want the ball head, order this one.) I came home yesterday from a two week Alaska trip. I used it with my Nikon 18-300mm lens (which is heavy), resting the tripod agaist my chest. That stabilization was wonderful - loved it!

The kit comes with everything listed, camera, all mounts goggle, helmet and other surface mounts. Two batteries, a charger, we card and the tripod is 6 inches tall. Great kit overall and you can't beat the price.
