Would you trust this small tripod to hold a full size DSLR with a good size lens attached?

Not with the center column fully extended, low shots only, how high is up to your threshold. It became unstable with a 6D and 24-70 f/4 at full height, not exactly a heavy combo.

I bought it after reading this review. I like it a lot. http://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/sirui-t-025x-travel-tripod-review/introduction.html.

I use it in White Mts. New Hampshire often with Nikon D600 and Nikon 28 - 200mm lens. I'm always cautious but it works fine. Lightest and cheapest tripod I've found to carry on a pafk.

It's very small - this is a very light weight tripod - it won't hold my full size camera, only my pocket camera.

It is really only large enough for mirrorless SLRs and several lenses. Probably not full size SLRs.

I think so, yes. I bought this tri-pod because it was lightweight and I was taking it on a long backpacking trip to do some long exposures. I had my Pentax DSLR with a heavier Sigma lens and it held it just fine. Just an FYI though, it is a cheap, very light tripod. Unless weight or cost is an issue, I would recommend a higher quality tripod. It's great for the weight-conscience cheapskate like me though.

Yes it's fine but please understand that you cannot expect this to be as stable as a gitzo. This can take a normal sized dslr and an amateur lens, not pro bodies and lenses. The legs are a bit flimsy in my opinion. Overall for the money it's an awesome tripod. Please don't expect this to carry A 300mm lens and aD4.

That should be fine but i dont think you can fit the tripod though. You might need to a seperate attachment. Im currently housing a d700, with 4 zoom lenses and 3 flash units in the bag.

A place to put the tripod in? Yes, and I used it with my full-size tripod, no problem.

It may hold that lens in one of the two side pockets, but it would be tight, and not as well protected. I keep my 50-200mm in the main case area, and that is a just right fit.I would say it would make a great easy carry short shoot bag, especially since it has a tripod carry on it. But, anything beyond that lens size wise, you'd probably need a larger or deeper case.

Not too big of a tripod. You can make a larger one work if you stick just one of the legs of the tripod into the foot pocket, but it's not ideal.

Yes! It may not be stable as a professional tripod but will hold your camera for a nice picture. I recommend it!

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

Hey Barbara,I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

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.

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

The tripod is very sturdy. It's kinda heavy so I would say it probably will hold that much weight.. I bought a huge lens & keep it attached at all times.

I would not trust it whatsoever with anything over 2lbs. Even at 2 it's a little bit sketchy. And like the other answer said, this product is so-so at best. If you're using a point and shoot or go-pro on it, fine. But it's not enough for a DSLR like a Canon T2i or T3i or anything larger.

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.
