Hi, does this model support the weight of a GoPro camera mounted on it?

Easily. In fact, I have a GoPro mounted on a GWS Slow Stik and a Hobby King AXN Clouds Fly which are both smaller than the Fun Cub. The Fun Cub and AXN Clouds Fly are my favorite planes. In all case mount the camera of the center of gravity so you won't need to re balance the plane when you are not using the camera.

most definitely, the fun cub can lift a lot of weight without affecting it's flight envelope. It makes a very stable platform.

I don't know, but suspect it does, as this model is light and has mucho power!

yes I put a Himax hc3516-1130 on it turning a e 11X7 prop, and it would have no problem with a goPro. Power and lift to spare, good luck.

If you are just using it as a still mount then no problem.........Moving on......may be a problem........It holds my GoPro on my boat at 85 mph just fine, but the GoPro weighs considerably less than the Cannon.

Yes. The small camera/lens mount cannot support the weight of a heavy lens.

Yes it does up to around 5 pounds, I'm not sure past that. My camera with batteries, lights and cables weigh around 4.8 pounds and I notice the jib bends by an inch. During movement it tends to sway like a pendulum. I countered it by adding the suspension cables and that made it much more stable. If you're adding a camera with equipment, remember the more weight at the end of the boom, the further the center of gravity moves away from the stand and its pivot point. Keep the center of gravity over the pivot point by adding more weight to the stand.

Depends on how heavy it is and whether it has a 1/4x20 threaded socket. If the camera and light weigh more than a couple of pounds and you try to position it in a position close to horizontal, I'm worried that it would not be able to hold it without sagging. If your equipment is heavy, you may be better off with the locking articulated arm, it will support more weight.

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

no first of all it cant take the payload of a go pro also if you need a higher quality camera get the Syma X5C I wish I had really thought of it before however know this it is in the place #11 in helicopters but the U818A won #3

This plane has loads of power and it can carry a go pro. however mounting it will be a challenge. I personally use a Mobius 1080 P cam on my planes for flight footage and the come out great. Advantage is the Mobius lays flat unlike the Go pro which will cause a lot of drag and may affect aerodynamics of the plane. If mounted in line with the fuselage, it should not be a problem. I have mounted the Mobius on the fuselage, wings, even the tail of my planes.

i don't doubt it. so long as its light enough there shouldn't be a problem.in its' stats it's said to have a "Max Camera Weight: 1.25 lb(570g)" and the camera is said to weigh 7.3 ounces, so it should be ok

Yes, I attached mine and it is very secure. I use it with a Canon 500mm so it certainly handles the weight.

It can but it wouldn't be ideal. When your camera is out on the ends of the slider there will be a little movement. Best if used with two Tripods. Not 100% sure on weight but I would say 6-7lbs

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.

This is a small unit and I do not think it can support a camera unless it is very small and light. Under 20 grams

No. I have a Nikon that weighs a few ounces and this mount was unable to support it without a lot of vibration. I gave the mount away.

I can't say for sure with all the equipment added onto my camera, it weighed about 5 pounds. It handled it with little problems except the more weight at the top, the more counter balance I needed at the bottom, it felt a little top heavy. So if you're putting a lot of weight on the tripod, use counter weights on the dolly and push it from below, more stable there.

NO!!! it will NOT support a mid or heavy camera, not anything over 1lb. The problem lies in the leg's locking mechanism that will break, it's a common defect, I had a few of these and they all broke (and the cameras were never over 2lbs).

Max Support Weight: 22 lbs Sure can but it is not like the one I also bought (and post a review on) to support a much heavier DISH Hopper DVR.
