Is this tripod study for long exposure shots? Also, it should handle a 5dm3 &amp; 17-40mm lens just fine, right?

Even though the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Tripod is considered a "travel tripod" meaning it is lighter, but may fit into your camera bag, I would definitely use it for long exposures with a 35mm. But it will be important to use a cable release on your camera to prevent any jarring. If you want to play is safe, a bean bag suspended between the legs of you tripod would make it extra sturdy.

Hard to tell. I have a Lumix with a 200mm lens and it was fine. Any issue was that the camera is so light compared to the lens, so the torque of the long lens seemed to have a slight effect, but I could clamp it down: it worked fine. If the weight of the system is centered over the base of the tripod, which a heavier camera would have, it should be OK. The tripod seems very sturdy for me.

Hi Samit,I don't have a lens that large but if you screw the camera on snugly, it should work. The tripod itself is very study for what I've used it for. You can lock the top into place so I imagine it should bear the weight. Again, I haven't tried the extra weight on it myself, but it's worth a shot!Andrea

First, that tripod has a quick release mount that should fit any camera. That said, I have my doubts you will be happy with this tripod. I found that no matter how tightly I tried to tighten the mounting assembly, the camera always slipped down with gravity and the weight of the camera. This was worst of all with a longer lens (300 mm) but occurred even with a short wide angle one. I gave up on the tripod and bought a more expensive model of another manufacturer. I'm glad I did.

That's going to depend on your tripod more than this pistol grip. But, I can tell you this I've put my Canon 5D Mark III with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens on it without it even budging, so it can handle most anything that you own.

Tripod is fine. Monopod you're risking shaky footage.Image is incomparable, but I use the 24-105 IS if I have to do handheld or monopod work.

If you are intending to use the telephoto lens, it will work IF you use the tripod. Otherwise, the smallest movement on your part becomes magnified into something that looks like an earthquake

I have used this tripod with my 6D and the Canon 25 -105 mm with no problems. So I really think you will be fine with your two lenses. It 's a very solid tripod.

I use it with a Canon T3i with a very heavy quality wide lens and it is more than up to the task. I had three tripods before this one and went cheap. They all failed after a reasonable amount of use. This tripod is by comparison very inexpensive but it is quite sturdy. I hike and take many photos and this is not the lightest tripod but with the price and durability works well for me. I really like the ball head vs the pan head functionality.

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 use it with a canon T3i w/ a 50-250 lens with a batterie pack and it is rock solid! Love this tripod the ball head is awesome and very easy to use.

I am not sure about the specific item you want to use it for, but I use it for a Canon dslr T4i and it barely handles it. Once I use my telephoto lens it gets a little too heavy for the tripod. For the price it is great, but you will get a great, light duty tripod. I hope this helps.

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.

As Raymonte said, it is a very sturdy and strong tripod. My husband used an Olympus and his lens are pretty heavy. It is why he bought the Slik. He loves it.

It can handle my Nikon D3200 with a 55-200mm zoom with room to spare! A great tripod for my usage!

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