Will it support heavy dslr such as Nikon d7100, do not want to take chances with my camera..let me know your thoughts....

Yep, no issues there! It is very sturdy. I've been using it with a d3300 and some heavy lenses, and would trust it with quite a bit more weight.

I'm not familiar with the specific camera you mention, but I would feel comfortable using it with any camera I have. Any camera that would be too heavy I would not want to wear on a strap anyway. I would say you can buy this with confidence.

Hi there, I got this for my D5200 with battery grip and ending cracking the grip because was an after market one. Today I own two D7000 with Nikon battery grip and it actually hold them pretty well!, the part who come for attached into the camera is better than other types of screw system i had tested. Totally recommended...oh important info is the lens you will use (how heavy) I use this with a 70-200 and with my Tamron 24-70 and is perfect...very good investment for the money. NOW i had always keep my hands close to my camera (I always do anyway) to protect against bumps and just in case you are that one in a million ......as you never know, this are expensive equipment and better be safe than sorry.

I use mine on my Nikon D750 with the Tamron 15-30mm zoom (which is a very heavy lens). I've walked around for hours with absolutely no issues. But I took safety measures. I purchased a camera tether at the same time I got the Fotasy strap and it works perfect! The safety tether is rated to some ridiculous weight, I think 200+ LBS. It takes away all concerns about anything falling to the ground and breaking. Here's the link on amazon's site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HVT2D4Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also purchased an extra ring attachment. Some of the reviews said that this was the weak point and may be prone to breaking, so I simply purchased a couple of spares so if it does break my down time is minimal. Here's the link for that as well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCMK0GS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is really a great strap... I use it at least 3 to 5 times a week, in all kinds of weather and in all kinds of environments, city streets, forest and bog walks, parties and social events, you name it. It takes it all and works perfect. Buy it, use it, but get the safety tether and you'll never regret it, best purchase for my camera that I've ever made. Hope this helps.

Yea. it will. but with more weight, the screw can loosen easier. So I would put a separate safety strap also.

I have a 60d which I guess is average weight for a DSLR, and I use a 70 to 200 Tamron 2.8, which is heavier than the camera by far, and the strap handles them reasonable well. Hope this helps.

This is a rugged strap with heavy duty hardware in the connection to the camera base. Well constructed and durable.

I don't know how heavy your d7100 is, but I use it with my rebel with at heavy lens. The reviews for this has been very good and I was impressed. It feels sturdy.

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.

Is it designed to? No. Could it fit one? Yes. But it was made for DSLR cameras. So why would you want to? Just wouldn't make sense to me as it won't properly support it securing it from moving around.

To be honest I have not tried it with my DSLR. The legs appear to be sturdy though, and do grip to vertical objects. I am not sure I would trust my gripped Canon 7d on it though. I will try it today and get back to you :)

I use it with a 7D and a Sigma 50-500 or Canon 70-200 with no issues. Found it to be very sturdy when I shot interior videos.

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.

I wouldn't think it is beefy enough for a DSLR. I would go with a different unit for that.

Absolutely Tony. It can hold big SLRS, no problem at all with the Sony A7. It's a great tripod.

It is perfect for DSLR's. It is well built and will support most any modern camera, like my D800.

I would use something stronger for your DSLR for sure. This thing is great for a lightweight Go Pro, but I wouldn't put anything heavy or expensive on it. In theory it would work though.
1281573
I doubt it. Cause it only works with D7000. And one of my friend told me it didn't work for him in D7100.
1710628
in a word yes, but if it's all you are going to use it for it's total over kill, I use my carrier for a Canon 7D with a 100-400 lens on it, you should consider something more light weight for a (great) point and shoot, the weight of my gear helps keep the carrier in place as well something that light might cause the carrier to be, ummmm, floppy if that makes sense

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).

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.

I am using D7000, 18-105mm lens- very sturdy and support this camera very well, but i have not try it with a lens like yours.

The D7100 is current version Nikon camera. I would think that it should work just fine.

Yes, will do. It supports a regular DSLR. However, remember, that it's an adaptable tripod, and it's balance will depend where and how you will attach to.
