My Panasonic DMC FZ200 weighs 1.4 lb. Is this sturdy enough to hold my camera even when rotated at 90 degrees?

I use it for my Canons, SX260 and 280: Wouldn't use it for my FZ200... And I never use it in "tripod" mode as I found that less useful than another mini trip I have, but the strap makes this thing excellent for a lot of situations where nothing else would do! But I wouldn't put anything other than a pocket camera on it.

I use it with a Nikon D80 and 18-200mm lens. I have also added flash at times and the weight is something over 4 lbs at that point. I have used it in this configuration out-of-doors in a wind and have not been concerned about stability.

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.

If you use it as a stand, it won't make a perfect 90 degree angle, and the weight of the camera will cause it to tip over. However, you can attach it to a pole or something to accommodate the side mount.

I bought this for an Olympus OMD EM-5 which I believe is lighter than the Canon.I did not think it was stable enough.Under easy conditions(level ground,not much wind etc)it might be ok but I can't be sure it will be ok for your camera.This article may help.http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-tripods-and-camera-supports-15-tested-1046066/15#null

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.

It's sturdy enough for your camera. My 70d with lens is almost double the weight and it works fine for me. It doesn't shake and I haven't broken it thusfar. I do recommend something heavier if you plan to film in windy/harsh environments.

NO! It will not bear the weight of that. The plastic leg locks will break and collapse, already tried it, don't risk an expensive camera on a cheap one-use tripod like this.

My best answer would be around 8-10 pounds. I have a 3.2 pd lens attached to my Nikon D90 (2pds) plus I will attach weight balancer (6pds) for extra support sometimes and have had no problems even though the tripod is lightweight but very sturdy.

I use it with NIkon D610 + Nikkor 28-70mm 2.8 and it's super sturdy! It will definitely hold 70-200mm too. The max load is more than 5Kg.

4.8 lbs. it's very sturdy. I use my nikon d3x on it. That is a big camera. I am very pleased with this tripod.

The manfrotto ring on the plate is not designed to hold the weight of your camera upside down. Best to be safe than sorry on this one, unless you have insurance on you camera. I have had great results w/ black rapid.

It is not made to hold the weight of a DSLR camera. It will hold a GoPro or something comparable in size.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

That is the same camera and lens I am using doing my sports photos and it will hold it but it is not real sturdy. It is usable but if I need a new one I would not buy this one again.

It is sturdy enough for a Drift Ghost camera. I've used it for an interior car shoot, using a Canon 5d Mark II which the body weighs two pounds without the lens.

It can support the weight. Your just camera needs to have the place to slip the loop through.
