Does anyone know what the weight capacity of this tripod is?

I wouldn't mount a 50 Cal machine gun on it if I were you. It's made for rifles, probably as heavy as you wanted to go with one of those. You're on your own with the actual capacity which would likely be given in any literature on it for liability an not reality anyway. They do say not to use it as a walking stick.

I don`t know. The tripod had a leg that wouldn`t extend all the way so I sent the piece of crap back to Amazon and got a refund.

No I don't but I have used it with my rifles with scopes and shot guns which weigh about 10 to 12 lbs and the tripod had no issue functioning.

I did not get a tripod for it as it is very portable, it is the size of a cd cover when folded; I would look on the manufacturer website

Total weight is 12.5lbs. The tripod without the pan head weighs 9lbs. Hope this answers your question. Regards, Roy Matthew

Hi, this tripod weighs about 5 lbs, is easy to tote around and it is very well made and a nice value for the money. I can highly recommend it.

The weight capacity of this tripod is 11 pounds. The mono pod that is part of this tripod also has a weight capacity of 11 pounds.

I'm thinking at least 14lbs......20lbs. sounds right though.......I mount a Nikon D7000 with vertical grip and a 70=200 Sigma 2.8 on it with no problem at all.

I have the tripod. According to the Amazon web site the bipod 24-61 weighs 1 pound. I can tell you that the weight of the tripod was quickly forgotten when I needed it on a Colorado elk hunt last fall.

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.

I don't know the exact weight, but it is heavy. I ended up using a monopod to support the lens when taking pictures. The monopod made it very easy to take surfing shots with the lens

This tripod weights between 1 1/2 and 2 lbs. my husband uses it for his spotting scope. Packs it everywhere. He can think of nothing he dislikes about it.

The tripod can hold a total weight of about 26.7 lbs, so you have plenty there to hold you equipment (canon 6d with 70-300mm lens).

The package states that it weighs 2.8 pounds. It is very sturdy and I would purchase another one. The only issue that I have is that if your SLR style camera has a rubber cover for protection, then the removable base (for the tripod) is tight.

I do not know the maximum weight but I do not think it would safely hold a heavy camera. We do a lot of photography also and I would not trust it for that. My husband is using this for a spotting scope while hunting and that is about the most I would trust it on.

I used the manfroto to hold a canon rebel camera. Not sure the weight but you can find out,

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.

Not sure the exact weight but I use it with a Nikon D5100 and a Sigma 150-500mm lens and that is about seven lbs.
