I'm thinking of getting a monopod that holds up to 26 pounds. My camera and lens will weight almost 7 pounds. Will this tilt head hold that weight?

The short answer, yes. The head is extremely strong and stable. The screw down knob allows for pretty heavy weight. I use it for my Canon 7D with multiple lens' and weights.

The load capacity on the head is 11 lbs. It's a very robust head but it is small and you may find the controls difficult to use if the camera is large. It should work fine with a 7 lb. camera and lens.

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.

the description states that it supports up to 9.9 lbs. it may work but you're risking breaking the monopod. there is a more expensive option if you're willing to pay for it. try the Manfrotto 562B-1 Fluid Video Aluminum Monopod with Plate.

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

I'm sure it wouldn't hold the weight of a DSLR. I have a larger GorillaPod designed for micro 4/3 cameras and when I tried to mount a Canon 7D on it, it was very frustrating because the legs kept collapsing due to the weight.

It's sturdy enough for your camera. My 70d with lens is almost double the weight and it works fine for me. It doesn't shake and I haven't broken it thusfar. I do recommend something heavier if you plan to film in windy/harsh environments.

It should hold them, but it will not be steady. I used mine for about 2 months before it started to give out because of too much weight. I've used the 2.5K BMCC and know how heavy it is. I was using Canon DSLR's, namely a 5D MkIII with L prime glass on it, and the weights provided, and it started to bend the tubes at the fulcrum. It was great while it lasted, but I ran into problems with not being able to clamp the locks down tight enough to keep it from slipping out of place. Also, in any wind, it wasn't very sturdy, even with everything tightened down. The design is good in that it compacts down nicely, but overall I'd recommend getting one that is a bit heavier duty, like a carbon fiber one. Long story short, yes, it will hold them. Will it balance? Probably not. Unless you are shooting with a Micro 4/3, or lightweight DSLR like a Rebel Series or D3100, this ePhotoInc Portable DSLR Mini jib just doesnt' cut it.

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.

Five pounds would be a lot of weight for this stand. The boom will hold it, but if it's not balanced right you might have a problem. On the other hand. if you extended the boom directly over one of the tripod feet, it most likely wouldn't tip over. My recommendation is that if you have a five pound microphone, you should get a heavier stand than this one.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

It can support up to 6 pounds of camera+lens. Add the weight of your camera+lens; if it's heavier than 6 pounds then you need the Gorillapod Focus which can support 11 pounds. Cheers!

I have used it with a Canon 5D and the Canon 100-400 and it's definitely strong enough to hold the weight. Whether or not it has enough weight/mass to dampen vibration is something you'd have to determine for yourself based on what you're shooting. I got this tripod to use at airshows and needed something as lightweight as possible to carry around all day. I'm very happy with the tripod and after a year of use and travel it has held up well.

I'm not familiar with the equipment you are talking about, but if you are talking about quick video, I don't think you will have a problem. The monopod is really good for tight places too awkward for tripods. You might want to research the maximum weight specs on the description of this monopod and compare. I hope this helps.

l have used it with a Canon 7D and a Tamron 70-300 mm lens. At least 2lbs in total. A counter weight helps stability.

Yes it will work fine, although it was really designed for a monopod. This only tilts on a single axis and won't rotate, but if that is what you want to put onto your tripod it will work.

Hello, This monopod has a 22lb load capacity. It will handle the 70-200mm2.8 lens without a problem. Regards, Roozbeh OC camera 949-347-1276

I can't give you and exact weight, Mary but I'm using mine on a carbon fiber monopod and it has a solid, well balanced feel. Unlike some ball heads, it locks securely with a simple rotation of a toggle screw. The quick release has the added advantage of a safety locking pin that prevents the camera mounting plate from coming off unintentionally.
