does anyone know if the benro 269 tripod can support a canon 6d with a 70 - 300mm lens

Yes. I support a Nikon D800 with a 70-200 f2.8 VR and 24-70 f2.8 all the time. Never a problem.

I bought the Benro Travel Angel Transfunctional Tripod for traveling and it is very solid. My primary tripod is a Manfrotto tripod so I had to buy a Manfrotto ball head to replace the one on the Benro so I don't have to switch quick release plates. I shoot with a 5D Mark II and Mark III with heavy lenses and yours should work fine. The Benro legs and pivot points are solid.

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).

Yes, I use a d3s and 70-200 2.8 with no issue at all. Using on vacation this week. Great travel tripod.

This is a great travel tripod. It fits in a carry on suitcase and is fairly lightweight for an aluminum tripod. I shoot with a Canon 1DsMkIII and a 70-200 f/2.8 lens and it will support that combination but for every day use, I use a much sturdier tripod and head. The legs are in 4 sections which makes the diameter of the bottom section quite small so when extended all the way it's less solid than if you use just 3 sections. The mounting plate on the ball head is an Arca-Swiss or RRS clamp type which is they style I use on my other camera supports. It's a handy travel tripod or a second tripod but I wouldn't use it for my primary camera support unless you really need the portability. This is a great travel tripod.

Yes, it definitely can. You need to look at the Benro website for head options though.

I have not try it with canon 6d but I used it with 400D 7D and now with the 5Dmrkiii

Lynn, I think it will work fine. What time of equipment/weight are you putting on it? The tripod is compact, but i wouldn't use it to support a heavy camera and lens.

I use this with a Canon 7D. It's very well balanced with a camera on it. My tripod is a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 but I think just about any tripod above the cheap lower priced models would suffice.

I just saw Paul's answer below. He is right that this is a "light duty" tripod, perfect for the Rebel series - I use it only when I'm backpacking, and I need to minimize weight (I have a larger Manfrotto for studio use). Having said that, however, I do regularly mount a 5D with a 70-200mm zoom on this tripod with no problem (about 7 pounds total, I think). The tradeoff will be carrying weight versus large camera-lens combo stability, so make your selection with your intended camera system and location use in mind.

I'm not sure. You would need to check the weight specifications. We use it with a Canon 7D and 5D. I have a Tamron 18-270 lens on my 7D. We use varying lenses on the 5D and have not had any problems.

I'm not sure if it will work on the Canon 6D however I am sure that it works For the canon 70D. And you can purchase another receiver on Amazon

Seems like other people are confirming it will work with a 6D. I can only confirm with the camera I own which is the 70D.

No problem. I use a Canon T2i with a 70-300 and it supports it well. Just make sure the tripod that you are using is rated for that weight. The Pistol Grip is best tripod head I have ever used. Very well made and almost all metal. I handled and used others made of plastic and those do not compare to the Dolica.

Yea on the side it can fit a mid sized tripod. Def a mono pod, I fit my benro carbon fiber tripod perfectly

I don't know but me I take photo with a Canon 7D and a lens 70-200 and it's very stable and I love to work with this monopod. Sorry for my english but I am french speaking.

I haven't used the tripod yet. I can't imagine that it would support a camera. Very small

I have used the tripod with a Cannon 7d extended to about 7 feet. It was very stable and didn't flex during use. I did have my back pack suspended from the hook in the center shaft to provide additional ballast. That being said I am not overall happy with the product support. I have had a few problems that I solved myself because when I emailed the manufacturer they never replied. During a trip to NYC I stopped into Adorama who shipped the tripod to ask for some help. They referred me to a phone number in England where the company makes the tripod. The level bubble fell out and is lost. Nylon guides under the locking rings were not assembled straight and soon caused the legs to bind. I reassembled the shims the best I could. Otherwise this is the only tripod I will ever need. Just wish the company would answer emails and provide repair parts.

That depends on the tripod that you place it on. I use a Canon 5D3 with a battery grip and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens. I've not had any problems, but that's still not as heavy as your rig. Personally, I'd say that you are okay as long as your tripod can handle the weight.

I have used it with a Canon 70d camera and that was no problem. The Mini-Pro is really solid and appears to be able to hold more weight than the 2 lbs 1.5 oz. that the 70D weighs.

I have used it with a 5d mark III w/ 70 - 200 mm f 2.8 lens on one side and a 60d with 24-70 mm f 2.8 plus strobe on the other with no issues. So it should be able to support your kit I think.

Easily. I use this monopod to support our Panasonic AG-HMC40 cameras, which is a camera comparable if not larger than your Canon, on shoots for years.
