Its a very good camera .. not overly fragile but yes, .. if dropped you could damage it some .. a lot depends ..drop on grass, or concrete / ..from how high ..but it has a place for a strap .. its a relatively small camera..use the strap

It is quite sturdy. I have dropped it a few times. My old one even fell into a waterfall and continued to work for a long time afterwards.

It's a sturdy camera but I'd want a case. I have one for mine basically to keep the screen from getting scratched.

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've had good use if it. In fact, I just finished using it just last week. Have you tried the steady cam option on your dslr? have you tried it on another vehicle? when my footage started getting shaky, my vehicle obviously had suspension issues.

Since it's a monopod and you have to hold it somewhere to keep it steady, you might as well hold on to the camera anyway. But I would not carry it with the camera screwed on - seems risky.

It's quite stable. When u put it on, it comes a part of the camera, like your lense does. Your lense will not drop easily, will it?

I am not having any trouble at all. This is a terrific camera and I enjoy using it.

My daughter has one and its protects hers very well just be careful when you open the back flaps to uncover the camera and other buttons you need to get to as these will tear off it you are very rough with them.. Just treat them gental and it will work fine she has dropped hers many times and its has protected well.. Just remember they are not water proof and nothing is indestuctable if it is mistreated..

Well, I thought it was sturdy but i accidently dropped bag with camera and my lense hood and polarizer filter were broken immediately :(

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.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

Yes it will fall ,l don't recommend it for that application,good for road use though.as for taking video yes you could.

Not at all, really. Maybe a little bit if you push on one of the top corners, because of the extra protection around the camera. Mine is still very flat though, even after months of rough use and being dropped.

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.

Yes. This monopod will be able to withstand the weight of most entry and midrange level SLRs, however I'm not sure of what the recommended weight of the monopod is, so please take that into consideration. You will be holding the monopod as well if it's in use so that should hopefully give you some peace of mind. My only recommendation is that you be mindful of the weight of the lens you attach to the camera and how much it effects the cameras center of gravity.

It is sturdy enough for a Drift Ghost camera. I've used it for an interior car shoot, using a Canon 5d Mark II which the body weighs two pounds without the lens.
