Is it sturdy for timelapse photography?

Most likely it is however it really depends on how much weight it is supporting. I use mine as a travel tripod with my Fuji XT1 and 55-200 lens as the heaviest combo I would attempt. It really is a great little tripod and so compact for traveling.

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

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

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.

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.

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.

It will hold up to 15lbs. It works great with my D7000 and an 18-105 plus a 10lb sandbag which is heavier than your current setup.

To be honest girl heck no. I do not recomend this to no one it's not a good one cheap make mine broke the first time the cross bar is so thin. Go to b&hphoto.com; and order one for $100 it's 100x better and it can hold 20lbs.

I'm using a Canon 70D an it holds it great. You could also check it out on YouTube see if the helps.

We have a very low-end case for the camera. After all, it's shock-resistant :) It has survived whatever a 12 year-old girl can throw at it after two weeks at the shore and multiple family trips and still takes very nice photos.

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 is quite sturdy. I am a teacher, and I just have papers in mine. However, I THINK that it would be sturdy enough.

I use it regularly as a stabilizer; resting it on a porch rail or convenient stone or piece of concrete. It works well in any configuration to stabilize my camera. I would suggest adding an adjustable swivel to make the process easier on uneven surfaces

Just bought this 42-inch 8section retractable tripod. It can support my t3i with the 18-55mm lens very well. Not sure how stable it'd be in (very) extreme windy conditions but seems solid enough otherwise.

You would wear out the tip pretty fast but yeah it could work for that too. It's pretty lite and flimsy until you lock it down with the clamps then it becomes solid as a rock. When I use it for my small camera that's how I move around with it but I don't put a lot of weight on it.

There is a small steel loop attached to the camera body, which appears some kind of high density plastic. Could it break - I guess, but it would be hard to do.
