Product description says it weighs 3.5 pounds but tech specifications say the tripod and head weigh 2.5 pounds. Which is it?

I returned it and don't recall, but 2.5 lbs seems very unlikely. I instead got a 3.5 lb Dolica ZX600B103 with carbon fiber legs and better build quality, which had a significantly better ratio of steadiness to weight, and was well worth the extra cost.

The whole thing weighs about 3.5 pounds. It's rated to hold up to 17.5 pounds though.

The owner's manual states: "This product has been designed to handle equipment weighing under 2 kgs (4 Ibs 6 oz). Do not overload." As well as: "Some equipments weighing under 2 kgs (4 Ibs 6 oz), such as long lenses, may not balance well due to its weight distribution. In such case, please use a larger tripod."

When folded, at its widest point (the head), it is 2.5 inches. The balance of the tripod is about 2 inches in width.

I have no idea. I would say one pound. If stability is your concern, make sure to use a decent tripod with it.

The Manfrotto quick release plate doesn't weight that much. Although it says the shipping weight is 5 lbs, which I assume they are including the weight of the box and stuff they throw inside to cushion the quick release, it still doesn't reach 5 lbs.

The tripod itself weigh 3 pound, 11 & 1/4 ounces. With the carrying case, it's 4 pound and 7/8 of an ounce.

I can't say for sure with all the equipment added onto my camera, it weighed about 5 pounds. It handled it with little problems except the more weight at the top, the more counter balance I needed at the bottom, it felt a little top heavy. So if you're putting a lot of weight on the tripod, use counter weights on the dolly and push it from below, more stable there.

I don't have enough information to give an accurate answer but Uwe Behrendt offered sound advice. The DMKFoto Ball Head is strong and well constructed. The advice about weighting the tripod is sound and you do not want to use a light duty tripod. If your camera will traverse to the end of the slider, I'm sure you need a good counterbalance. Your complete mounting rig needs to be an important consideration.

Not sure. But it's very easy to use and works great. It probably weighs under 5 lbs.

Weight approximately 1.5 pounds. So far i find the build quality worth it, and optics worth more than the price. Great deal i believe.

I personally would not trust a tripod this flimsy with a DSLR. The monopod does not have a head either. I returned the kit immediately after opening. I would also recommend seeing how much weight a monopod/tripod head is rated for. I purchased a head that would hold up to 11 pounds, in case I'm using a long lens. I'd rather the equipment be a little on the stout side, holding my camera. Best of luck in your shopping. Amazon has been great.

I do not know the exact weight, but it is very light and easy to handle. I would say three pounds or less. I love this camera, but it is not something simple to carry and the one thing I do not like about it is that it does not have a rechargeable battery. It uses 4 double AA batteries. So, I do try and always keep an extra set on hand. I recently took it on vacation and it does take beautiful pictures.

Umm. Not sure, but its very light weight. Maybe a couple lbs. Its a very aimple friction based slider. It works well with my 5d3 and 60d.

I have weighed my AGFA APT50 Tripod. The tripod weighs about 15.3 oz and the "nylon" or similar drawstring bag is another .4 oz or so. It is a a real bargain for a small tripod to travel with.

How motivated are you, and how are you traveling? I really like this tripod, and have used it with 20x60 binoculars a mile walk from a vehicle. The 'pod, a 128RC mount, and a small spotter together weigh about 14 pounds. I have a vanguard tripod and a 391 head that will take the weight down to about 11 pounds - but the 55 is in my trunk today. I probably wouldn't try to take this on a plane, as its most collapsed length is still pretty good-sized, and I wouldn't likely take it backpacking, but for car camping and day hikes it's very good.

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.
