camera weighs around 25lbs. Will it support a Opteka SteadyVid SV-HD Camera Stabilizer fitting?

I have a Canon XL H1s and an external monitor. It weighs about 9.5 lbs. That's about the maximum weight this arm will handle. The arm peg is 5/16" dia (16 mm) x 2 3/8" in length. But this arm is not going to handle a 25 lbs camera.

It should, but that's about the limit for that rig. I don't know about the stabilizer fitting; might need some modification.

Sorry but no. That is too heavy. I returned this steadycam and bought a chinese made s40 stabilizer. It is built solid and worth the money for sure. With DSLRs, the s40 is what you need for steady vids. Get it on ebay for like 80 bucks. It is worth it.

I have found that by adding large vise grips to the each of the legs this tripod will support a a Canpn T3 with a Canon 100mm macro lens, a Tameron 2x teleconverter and a set of Kenos Extension tubes and it could proably support a good deal more. I use one large vise gripe on two of the legs and two more on the third leg along with another small vise gripe otherwise it will trip over when I put all that weight on it.

I would go with something larger for a DSLR. I think it would support the weight but something a little larger would be more steady with the camera attached, especially at any sort of an angle.

I've used mine to hold a Canon 5D Mark II with a 70-200 lens and a 2x converter, and have had no problem. If the wind is too strong, you can give it some extra stability by hanging a heavy camera bag or whatnot on it.

I've used this with a Sony Alpha and very heavy 500mm lens. (I've even used it with two cameras mounted at the same time.) I can't give an exact pound weight but it is a very stable mount and as long as you can balance the camera's center of balance properly, it will hold virtually any standard DSLR and lens.

My camera and telephoto lens weighs 7lbs. and there is no problem. It is very sturdy but don't try to use it as a stand alone tripod. It can tip easily.

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

I have used it only to support a Canon speedlite with a Rogue grid. But I imagine it could support practically anything with proper use of the included sandbag. You want to sandbag your light stand, too.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

I am not certain. It seems solid enough but it may not hold the camera during rough travel or for long periods of time.

No. This is meant to ask as a stabilizing handle for DSLRs similar to the handle that is built into the body of professional video cameras. It does not have any counterweights or balancing mechanisms.

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

I've used mine with a Nikon D200, which is right at the upper limit of its listed capacity. I have to set it up very carefully, and I use it for that camera only in an emergency. I wouldn't recommend it for anything heavier.

It should... my D3100 + a 55-200mm lens weighs about 1100 grams. The description says it holds up to 3 kilos. It all depends on how you adjust the legs and the angle of the camera. I've used mine clamped to the railing of a cruise ship. I took great care in wrapping the legs and balancing the camera before letting go completely to use the remote release.

it has supported a canon 7d with 70-200 f2.8 and extender. this is about 10 pounds total. it is very sturdy. I suspect that the head that you choose, not the tripod itself, will be your limiter.

This is not the greatest stablizer especially with heavier equipment. I tried using this with a nikon d800 with a nikkor 14-24. All together it weighs just over 2 kilos. At that weight your going to have to use most if not all of the counter balance weights and as a consequence you'll get a lot of swing.
