I plan on using this with Nikon d5100 does it do well with the weight of this camera? how strong is this I plan to shoot outdoors, hiking,etc

i think it'll do alright with that. i'm using a Canon T2i with a big lens and it does ok. It takes time to get good with it though (and will all these stabilizers)

I have a smaller camera but feel confident the Nikon d5100 will work well. I use to have the Flycam which was great but the Lanig is made much better. The build quality of this product is GREAT and is easy to balance. I took almost all the weight off and it balanced well. Again it is built very well.

It weighs less than 3lbs, no problem wit a dslr... Add a c-frame and top handle and it's golden

Gitzo site has it at 1.65 lbs. It feels very light but sturdy. I use it on a Canon 300/4 and 400/2.8. The monopod is very stable, even at its longest height. The last section is thin compared to the other sections but I constantly get sharp pictures shooting soccer. It easily fits in a sachel type bag. I would say if you shoot with long lens this is a must. The legs very quickly unlock and the top of the monopod will hold any lens. If you use a tripod head on top besure it is big enough other wise the range of motion will be limited.

I've used it with a zoom lens that weighs about 4.5 pounds. I really like it.

The weight would not be a problem, but the padding is not that thick. you would probably need to add so foam rubber to cushion your camera and lens..otherwise it should work well.

It is worth its price. It's not super sturdy at all. It works well for light weight camera and i would not recommend it if you will use it with a professional camera. However, since it is not super sturdy, it's pretty lightweight and easy to be carried around. It all depends on what kind of camera you are using it with.

It's lightweight so it's good for point and shoots, cell phones, and the GoPro but if you are going to use it with a DSLR you might want something a little beefier. Maybe more like this one: AmazonBasics 67-Inch Monopod

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.

I used it with my Nikon which is similar in weight comparing to other waterproof cameras it perfectly floatted very strong support and cushion. You should not have a problem.

I have a 60d which I guess is average weight for a DSLR, and I use a 70 to 200 Tamron 2.8, which is heavier than the camera by far, and the strap handles them reasonable well. Hope this helps.

l have used it with a Canon 7D and a Tamron 70-300 mm lens. At least 2lbs in total. A counter weight helps stability.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

Yes it's very strong... I carry a Canon 5D with a telephoto lens for three days in New York City..bumped into all kinds of people and things never a problem

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.

No idea about the specifics - I expect if you google the specs you will be able to get the weight. As far as use goes, it does feel pretty heavy and unbalanced until you get used to it - it didn't help that I was a bit frightened of it when first purchased - but now I love it and have taken some fantastic wildlife photos with it even though I'm not a very experienced photographer yet.

I've had this tripod for a while now. Rest assured it is extremely stable and precise. However if your video set up its too heavy you might want to ask your friends about it. I just handle landscape and slr related pictures not much video.

It will support the weight. I would mount via lens for more stability . If using the lens at higher ranges you will have to be very good to hold it still enough for a hood focus. O have no problem up to 300 but after that it depends on wind and how much hiking I've done.
