I am buying a Canon 70D, and the weight seems very close to maximum weight this GorillaPod can carry. Will it hold up?

You need to think on the extra weight of the lens. I would recommend you the Gorilla Pod Focus. I have a Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 mm lens and I use it with the Gorilla Pod Zoom, I dont think it will hold more than that weight.

I have a Nikon D5100 with Tamron 18-270mm on my Gorillapod and it is sufficient. It takes and extra tweek on the ball-mount tensioner. Nice mount.

Yes. Unless there is another model with a higher weight support, the GP3 is a very sturdy tripod.

I used my GorillaPod with a Canon 50D and it worked great. I don't imagine the cameras change in weight all that much, but I felt comfortable with how it handled that camera.

I don't know as I have a very light camera which is not an SLR so I don't have additional lenses on it. But it is very sturdy and it is a nice size for a tabletop model. I would think it would be ok. I purchased this one instead of the lighter weight GorillaPod as I thought we would use it with my husband's SLR and his large lenses. It is a great tripod and I would highly recommend it. If it doesn't work out, you can always return it. Good luck.

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

It should hold it just fine. Bear in mind it isn't a heavy duty tripod, and it won't take getting knocked around much, but for the price it's been great.

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 use this with a canon 7d and 70-200 4L lens. In the past, before upgrading my camera to 7d, I used it with a T2i and canon 100-400 L so the weight is sort of the same. I never mount the black rapid on the camera, just the tripod ring on the lens. When I used the 7d with myCanon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II, I still have approximately 4 pounds of heft, so there is more unbalance, but not too bad. I also walk around a lot in NYC so there really is no other alternative to the sling camera strap for me.

I am not too sure but all I know is I have a full size canon camera and it hold its weight with no problem. My camera weight about 6 pound. I hope this help.

It should handle them. It can hold up to 6.6 lbs, from another site. It does have a 3-way head, rather than a simple pan-tilt head, as many video tripods have. The "flip" function is needed for still cameras so that you can use them in the vertical/portrait mode. (It's pretty useless for video, of course.) The quick-release plate is fairly wide and has a spring-loaded locating pin. However, it does not have any way to "lock" an SLR in position, other than by the friction of the screw. That can be a problem in the vertical mode with a long lens--it can cause the camera to rotate downward. Many higher-end tripod heads have a movable lip or bracket that can lock an SLR into position when pushed up against the camera's body. It's also not very good if you need to get down low with the SLR. The legs spread only at one angle and the center column cannot be reversed (that puts the camera UNDER the tripod). There's also no hook for hanging a stabilizing weight (e.g., a sandbag, your camera bag). It's not a bad compromise, though, if you have a Sony camcorder. If you don't, forget it: there are better tripods for the same price or less. Your SLR could weigh more than 2 lbs, depending upon what lens you use and whether you use a flash. Weigh it with the largest lens you have or calculate using the largest lens you might buy and the flash you have or might buy. I've had no problems with this and a Canon Rebel 2000 35mm SLR with an 80-300mm zoom lens, a battery grip and a Sunpak flash, but that is pushing it a bit.

It is strong enough but with a gimbal head and moving around quickly, it would feel quite flimsy. I would go for a beefier tripod to use with a gimbal head.

This tripod is extremely sturdy. To be honest I have not seen a camera it can not handle. Not sure the exact weight but I am sure it will handle any type of camera.

Yes, it will work fine. I commented on a response but I want this to be seen for others as well; It's all about careful positioning, and it comes with a dual-pivot point head so you can balance the bulk of the weight back or forward according to your needs. if the camera is heavier on one side I generally put it towards the leg with the logo which is longer from the pivot point. I am a professional photographer who always carries this pod with me, and I use it on many outings. I support a D700 with battery grip and a metal-body F/2.8 lens. Sometimes I've even stuck my 80-200 f/2.8 on there and that is HEAVY. My girlfriend has a D5100 and I would not hesitate. She holds my camera and can't believe I use it because it's so heavy (full alloy, everywhere) I believe if you have issues with it tipping over you should practice with positioning the tripod and camera. do not point the bulk of the weight away from the single leg, and use the head to pivot as well as possible to keep the center of gravity near the center of the pod. good luck! I highly recommend this one. I found mine at a yard sale and WILL buy another if it ever breaks. Here are some numbers: D700 - 2.39lb MB-D10 grip loaded - .89lb nikon 80-200 f/2.8 lens - 2.81lb TOTAL : SIX POUNDS, about five without grip! That's more than I'd like to put on the tripod, but possible in a pinch. Now here's a potential kit: D5100 - 1.22lb (already a pound lighter) nikon 10.5mm fisheye - .67lb TOTAL: 1.89lb!! Less than one THIRD the weight of my kit. Or if you have a pro lens, say the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 ED DX, that's 1.65lb. So a total of 2.87lb. Still less than half the weight I've set on this tripod. :) careful to balance and it will work.

It weighs around the same as my Nikon P510 (the Gorillapod works well with it) so it should work fine.

Yes. This monopod will be able to withstand the weight of most entry and midrange level SLRs, however I'm not sure of what the recommended weight of the monopod is, so please take that into consideration. You will be holding the monopod as well if it's in use so that should hopefully give you some peace of mind. My only recommendation is that you be mindful of the weight of the lens you attach to the camera and how much it effects the cameras center of gravity.

My best response is true. While it can handle more weight and be counter balanced easy enough, there is some bending that can happen which will warp the metal. A dslr and a decent lens is fine but don't pile on a bunch of other gear or you'll end up with a bent jib.

I use it with a Canon T3i with a very heavy quality wide lens and it is more than up to the task. I had three tripods before this one and went cheap. They all failed after a reasonable amount of use. This tripod is by comparison very inexpensive but it is quite sturdy. I hike and take many photos and this is not the lightest tripod but with the price and durability works well for me. I really like the ball head vs the pan head functionality.

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 am no not familiar with your camera. I use it for a Sony HD Camera. I can tell you this Monopod is not flimsy, you can actually use this as a walking stick it is that sturdy. I would bet if your camera was as heavy as a Bowling Ball You would still be OK.

I don't the exact weight of your Canon DSLR. I know for a fact that this tripod will definitely hold an equipment that is just slightly over 2 pounds but no more. I have not tested this with an equipment weighing 3 pounds. It may be able to handle it if this tripod is standing on it's 3 feet on a flat surface. It might be a different store when you have this pod clip to a tree, branches, pole or other objects. Good luck.
