How much camera-weight can this tripod support? Will it support an SLR or are we just talking compacts?

I have used it with my Nikon d5100 and up to a 55mm-300mm lens. It worked decently well for a compact tripod to take on the hike in my camera bag. I would suggest a remote release with it though.

Just bought this 42-inch 8section retractable tripod. It can support my t3i with the 18-55mm lens very well. Not sure how stable it'd be in (very) extreme windy conditions but seems solid enough otherwise.

No, I ended up returning the tripod. I did have great luck with Ravelli APLT2 49". Used it on a trip and it worked great,

I don't the exact weight of your Canon DSLR. I know for a fact that this tripod will definitely hold an equipment that is just slightly over 2 pounds but no more. I have not tested this with an equipment weighing 3 pounds. It may be able to handle it if this tripod is standing on it's 3 feet on a flat surface. It might be a different store when you have this pod clip to a tree, branches, pole or other objects. Good luck.

This mount will not be a good mount for a DSLR size camera. It works fine for a small point/shoot compact camera, but it is not sturdy enough to hold a 2 to 4 pound camera steady. I bought it to mount to a rifle scope and after some slight modifications it works ok for that, but my camera is a small Casio high speed camera. There are no adapters that come with it. WYSIWIG. There is a 1/4-20 mounting screw on the perpendicular bar that attaches to the bottom of the camera.

No it won't. This is in itself is a tripod with a swivel head and both the male and female threads are 1/4" x 20 TPI. I found it won't support or stay in place when supporting any standard weight SLR camera. Only one that is as light as a small cell phone.

You will probably need to purchase a mount that can hold a heavier load, especially if you're going to do any type of photography. I believe the capacity of this mount is 35lbs.

Their website says it can hold 4kilos which is just under 9 pounds. Should be OK it holds my D600 and 70-200 solid.

It might just make it because the Sony HXR-MC2000N weighs approx 6.4 pounds and this tripod can support weight of 6.61 pounds. I personally think its too close for comfort. I'd probably look for something a little more stronger. This tripod will really work great for weight in the 5 pounds and under, reason is because it will cause some shake or vibrate a lot with any thing over 5 pounds.

It is not made to hold the weight of a DSLR camera. It will hold a GoPro or something comparable in size.

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.

I am not too sure but all I know is I have a full size canon camera and it hold its weight with no problem. My camera weight about 6 pound. I hope this help.

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.

Not sure if it will or not. It supports my Nikon D7000,18-300 and auxillary battery with no problems. That set up weighs just shy of 5 pounds. It has a built in hook in the center. I hang my camera backpack there for extra stability especially if it is windy. Hope that info helps.

if you need to hold something that is pretty heavy. I use it for a telescope. it would be silly for a point and shot camera. I would think it would work really well for a SLR with Zoom.

hi, i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

To SPECIFICALLY answer your question, yes, the legs will support the weight just fine. With all that weight, be sure to have the camera tightened securely onto the tripod, and when it's where you want it, really tighten everything down so you don't get drift with the camera.

Being a pretty basic tripod, it's weight abilities are limited. I have a Sony Nex3 camera and when using it with a 55-210 lens I had to tighten down the swiveling head clamps really tight to get it to hold it. Even then it was subject to some drooping I had to account for.

It depends on the weight of the Camera. If you plan to use a tripod buy a good one.
