What is the weight capacity of this tripod? Can it hold a 30 lb teleprompter?

No the head on this tripod can only handle about 10lbs and the weight forward of a teleprompter will not work.

It is a pretty light weight tripod. When I shoot with our Canon 5D Mark iii with a long 70-200mm heavy lens it has a hard time holding the lens. 30 lb prompter is going to be too much weight.

I'm fairly sure it can handle the load...it's a fairly decent tripod for the money...however the pan head is not very smooth at all. That's my chief complaint.

It can hold up to 5 LB I believe. Make sure you have a really good tripod to support the job.

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.

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.

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.

It's called an Xit XT50TRS. Fully extended it is barely above 4 ft tall. Somewhat flimsy but extremely lightweight if you had to carry it to the back country. Otherwise, you would prefer a real tripod. There is a YouTube flick on it if you want to look at it and get an opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQt418Ms_F4

Far less than 1 lbs actually, any camera over 1 lbs WILL cause the plastic on the leg locks to break. The specified bearing weight is clearly a lie, don't fall for it. This tripod can not hold a heavy object, much less its own weight.

I have a 3lb camera and it works great for me. I would say if you need something affordable and don't need it to extend over 40", I feel you'll be happy with this stand. The max recommended weight is 2 and a half pounds.

Yes. The combined weight of your setup is about 2.5 lbs, and this tripod can hold up much more than that.

Published weight is 2400gr/84.6oz. I put mine on an Orion Paragon field tripod and have had no problems.

I don't really know the load capacity, you should ask the vendor. The tripod holds my cannon very well. If you want to keep the tripod steady you can put some weight sand bags. The tripod is very light as it is made mostly of plastic.

I think the tripods rated for 11 pounds so I'm sure It could hold it okay, I had this tripod for about six months now and all i can say about it is it's awesome!!!!

Not a lot. It's a very lightweight tripod and must be used on a solid, level surface. It probably could support a lighter dslr with a lightweight prime lens. But that would be the max. It's not the most stable tripod in the world, but it is small and light.

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.

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.

Their website says it can hold 4kilos which is just under 9 pounds. Should be OK it holds my D600 and 70-200 solid.
