Will this tripod handle the weight of a gimble head and 500mm zoom mounted on a Canon 70D

I don't how much a gimble head weighs, but I have used it with my Canon 6D and a 70-200 lens before.

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.

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.

Keep in mind that the actual tripod structure can bear this weight. However, the clamps to adjust the angle of the tripod may not be able to bear the weight.

Hi. The amount of weight the tripod can hold May be due also to the head chosen. I suggest going to the tripod manufacturer website and look at theMax weight per head and the fully extended leg height Best place for your specific questins

I have found that by adding large vise grips to the each of the legs this tripod will support a a Canpn T3 with a Canon 100mm macro lens, a Tameron 2x teleconverter and a set of Kenos Extension tubes and it could proably support a good deal more. I use one large vise gripe on two of the legs and two more on the third leg along with another small vise gripe otherwise it will trip over when I put all that weight on it.

I have used this setup with a canon 5d mark ii with a battery grip and two batteries with a sigma 70-200mm 2.8 lense with not problems. The weight of the tripod and ballhead is good. I could carry it for many miles and not have it be a problem.

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 really don't know why not if this camera has a standard tripod mount. The lens described is not unusually long or heavy and the tripod is quite capable of supporting it and the camera without tipping over. The legs lock in an adequately large triangle. If it (or any tripod) seems unstable when supporting such gear, be sure the lens is directly over one of the legs when in use. However, I don't believe this should be necessary in the described camera and lens.

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.

I just got the head today so I haven't tested it yet. It looks like it will work with the heaviest camera and lens combinations. It appears the 3/8 screw bushing might be a weak spot as it's fastened to the base with some kind of cement. If it's screwed into the base and glued it should be OK. I can't tell if it's screwed into the base without taking it apart.

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.

Judging from the pictures of an AstroMaster 70, I would say so. You could mount it right over the top of the tripod to minimize any balance issues.

I think it should work if you have a solid mounting plate. Depending on where the tripod screw is, as long as it is balanced, it should work. I use my GH2 on this which is lighter than your gear. It is made well and has worked well in the field.

The tripod can hold a total weight of about 26.7 lbs, so you have plenty there to hold you equipment (canon 6d with 70-300mm lens).
