Are the legs detachable? Also, can it be used with 2 tripods, one on eache end, instead of a single one in the center? Thanks

Yes, legs are detachable. and its so short you dont need a tripod on each end. Its 23 inches long.

Hi. The amount of weight the tripod can hold May be due also to the head chosen. I suggest going to the tripod manufacturer website and look at theMax weight per head and the fully extended leg height Best place for your specific questins

No - I have looped the camera bag strap around the centr column to add weight. It's surprisingly stable - it is not meant to be a rock solid all purpose tripod. It's for travel - I took it all around Germany/Austria etc. and it did very well - it even kept my 6D w/28-300 L series relatively calm for long night exposures. That being said - it is not rock solid and does better when the legs are not fully extended. Highly recommend for travel - but if you're looking for stability - you're going to have pay much more for some carbon if you're looking to keep weight down and stability at the maximum. Hope this helps...

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

It is strong enough... But the leg locks can easily become un locked.. And then collapse also it is a short tripod, spend a little more and get a better one.

You have the option to use one tripod in the middle or 2 tripods one on each end. I highly recommend using two tripods!

Yes. While somewhat convoluted, the center column can be removed and the ball head re-attached using the piece that attaches to the bottom of the center column (its the piece that has a weight hook attached). This permits the tripod to be used very close to the ground. It does not show this in the instructions but it certainly can be done.

You can use it with a tripod - I dont see any reason why you could not use it for a monopod as well

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

No I do not think the legs on this unit are strong enough for your setup. Go with a higher quality tripod such as Really Right Stuff.

There are holes on both ends and also the middle. Using the ends needs 2 tripods I guess, to be honest I have never tried that. Using the middle, I think it depends on the camera weight, the head and size of tripod. I use D610 on a Manfrotto 701HDV head and the slider on a strong Manfrotto tripod, no problem.

No, it's not built for one. I usually just stick 2 of the legs in a side pouch and rig it to the top loop. But, no there's no built in system for carrying a tripod.

It has leg stops to prevent over extension but you have to adjust each leg. You can extend the legs one at a time and just twist each leg to lock it in place. Very quick and easy to adjust. Great tripod.

Hi,You can fold the legs up completely and use as a monopod. However, it does not extend very high.Rick

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.

it comes with an specific tripod, you will not be able to user another one.

The tripod is very light weight and easy to carry. The legs are in four parts instead of the more common three parts. I would recommend it for point and shoot cameras and camcorders. If you have a camera with a gynormis lens the slightest breeze may topple it. If your camera was made for US import it probably has the standard SAE 1/4" 20 mounting thread and will fit the tripod.
