Is the MM294A4 sturdy enough to support a D750 & 70-200 lens? Does it wobble with about 6 pounds of camera and lens on it? Thank you for your advise.

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.

Yes I used it on 7d with 70-200 lens leaning against a wall or a tree(takes a little patience).

I use Nikon d700 with the same 70-200. Works great for me but then all I use it for is sport shooting. I don't get too aggressive with my equipment. Usually stand and shoot. Not really into jumping around or running with it.

I shoot a canon mark III, and a very heavy, canon 300mm. It works like a dream. I shot sports and have to roam around a lot!

That is the same camera and lens I am using doing my sports photos and it will hold it but it is not real sturdy. It is usable but if I need a new one I would not buy this one again.

I have used the MB-D10 with the D700 on a tripod and it is very sturdy. I don't even worry about it.

I use a 5d mk3 with a medium L zoom lens on this device. Support is fine because the nodal point is also a good balance point. The position click stops are not as robust as I would like. Otherwise I find it sturdy and workable.

It will hold up to 15lbs. It works great with my D7000 and an 18-105 plus a 10lb sandbag which is heavier than your current setup.

I'm thinking at least 14lbs......20lbs. sounds right though.......I mount a Nikon D7000 with vertical grip and a 70=200 Sigma 2.8 on it with no problem at all.

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.

Yes it should hold that easily. I have two Nikon full-frame camera bodies, and five Nikon lenses (including the 70-200 mm f/2.8) in my bag. I like the top opening feature as I keep the 70-200 attached to my D800 in the bag and can just pull that out from the top. The only complaint I have with the bag is that the hand and shoulder straps are a little light on the padding. They are quite thin compared to my "Think Tank Pro" bags; but the Manfrotto can hold a lot and accessing the gear is easier than the Think Tanks.

I don't know how heavy your d7100 is, but I use it with my rebel with at heavy lens. The reviews for this has been very good and I was impressed. It feels sturdy.

My best response is true. While it can handle more weight and be counter balanced easy enough, there is some bending that can happen which will warp the metal. A dslr and a decent lens is fine but don't pile on a bunch of other gear or you'll end up with a bent jib.

My guess is that it'll be ok in a pinch, but you might be better off with something more sturdy. I've only had experience with a Nikon D4 with 14-24mm lens, and it was fine.

You may want to think about getting the S4 head. I usually use this for Canons t4i, 70d, 7d with prime lenses under 100mm focal length which are fairly light. This weekend I am using it with a 70-200L lens and it is quite a hassle. I believe its supposed to support 5.5 pounds but after 4.5 pounds moving up and down becomes jerky since you have to tighten it so the camera doesn't fall backward or forward. So if your "Hd camera for TV/Cinema" is heavier than 4 pounds you should get the S4 head.

I bought it to use with my SB-800s and some light modifiers. It holds perfectly.Than I test it with my D7000 and a nikkor 18-135mm, not so good. Too heavy for the socket.

Not sure. It holds a 100-400mm cannon zoom lens and Canon 7D without issue. It seems very sturdy.

I have a 60d which I guess is average weight for a DSLR, and I use a 70 to 200 Tamron 2.8, which is heavier than the camera by far, and the strap handles them reasonable well. Hope this helps.

I use it for my DSLR with a 100-400 telephoto lens and it has no problem. I used to have a real heavy 4x5 view camera (steel construction) which I would not have put on this, but I think any typical DSLR-lens combo would easily be held by it. It is pretty sturdy.

I think it will be quite secure. I've usedit with a D7100 ans the 18-200 lens. Not as heavy but should still work fine with your outfit.

I'm using it on my D7100 and it's a great lens. It is heavy but it's solid ~ I've taken it on a few trips now and I love it.
