How heavy of a camera/lens combo can this accomodate?

I have a D7100 and D300 Nikon with Tonkina 12-24 and 70-300 Nikon zoom. It holds that combo with no problem.

It has a 1/4-20 standard thread insert, but it would be pretty heavy. I would not use a large, heavy lens if you are going to attach the battery grip to a tripod. In that case the weight would transfer all the stress to the attachment between the grip and the camera body.

I would not trust it whatsoever with anything over 2lbs. Even at 2 it's a little bit sketchy. And like the other answer said, this product is so-so at best. If you're using a point and shoot or go-pro on it, fine. But it's not enough for a DSLR like a Canon T2i or T3i or anything larger.

Based on my research, it will probably be too big and heavy for this camera. Customer should send NIKON Customer Service an inquiry email and get their professional opinion.

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.

Manfrotto site suggests a maximum payload of 4KG (8.8lbs) for this kit. I've personally tried it with a nikon d800 + 70-200mm 2.8 lens. This kit works with most combination of dslr + zoom or prime except for supertele lenses.

I am not sure of the exact weight of the lens, but it is heavy. I most certainly have to rest the camera on something or use the tripod. The lens does however take amazing photos!

According to Adorama, the maximum weight capacity is 10kg or 22lbs. This seems excessive to me but I have mounted my Sony A99 with the vertical battery grip and a 100mm-400mm lens attached. Total wt. abt. 2kg or 4.4lbs with no issue. It is quite stable considering its light wieght.

Hard to tell. I have a Lumix with a 200mm lens and it was fine. Any issue was that the camera is so light compared to the lens, so the torque of the long lens seemed to have a slight effect, but I could clamp it down: it worked fine. If the weight of the system is centered over the base of the tripod, which a heavier camera would have, it should be OK. The tripod seems very sturdy for me.

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.

You can also use 1 tripod in the middle, but if your camera is quite heavy, the system will not be so stable.

Yes. The bottom section is configurable, so you can fit virtually anything you want, but obviously the larger the assembled camera/lens combo, the less room you will have for other lenses and accessories.

It is so heavy that you must have a very sturdy tripod. I have had on going trouble with the adapter. So much so that I have not used the lens for over 2 months.

i have this Rig and it works great with my DSLR and a Prime ZEISS 50MM lens. anything above 6lbs, becomes kind of heavy for the arms. but the rig can handle 10lbs easy.

My best answer would be around 8-10 pounds. I have a 3.2 pd lens attached to my Nikon D90 (2pds) plus I will attach weight balancer (6pds) for extra support sometimes and have had no problems even though the tripod is lightweight but very sturdy.

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

It's a great lens but it is heavy (check detailed specs for exact weight). I wouldn't advise carrying it around with you unless you were going to use it.
