The Amazon description says it comes with weights for cameras 0.7 to 1.5lbs. The Glide Gear website says 0.7-3.7 lbs. Which is correct?

the Amazon description is correct anything that weighs more than 2 pounds ain't gonna balance on this.

My Canon T3i with the basic 18-55 plastic kit lens is about 2lbs, with NO accessories and I had to add weight make it work. I also spend way to much time trying to make it balanced. So my recommendation is if you have a camera 2lbs or more you should get a bigger stabilizer unit. I think the 1000 is for a very light weight camera like a point and shoot type.

Define "light weight". I wouldn't recommend the SteadyVid Pro for a small point and shoot type camera, as they don't have enough mass to counter balance. The SteadyVid Pro works fine with my Panasonic GH3 camera (slightly smaller than a Canon 7D) which weighs between 2 and 3 pounds, depending on which lenses I am using. If your camera uses interchangeable lenses, heavier lenses can make the Opteka easier to balance.

I do not know, I can say they are light none of the information that came with the cameras tell the weight.

The weight is greater because of the manuals and accessories included. There are two 300+ page manuals (one in English, one Spanish) which alone weigh 1.5 lbs. Add in the weight of the battery charger, battery, neck strap, USB and audio cables, software, body cap, etc and the weight quickly adds up. I ordered the body only D7000. The UPS label shows 6 pounds. When I put the D7000 package (without the shipping box and packing) on the scale, it was a little over 5 lbs. I'm sure the ones that come with a lens would have a 7 pound shipping weight.

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.

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.

Don't know the actual weight, but it feels really light for the sturdiness that is has. Even with camera, 3 lenses and accessories it feels very light and comfortable.

I'm not familiar with the weight of those cameras...I'm sure Google is BUT...I use it with my Sony FS700 and it's borderline. I need to fully extend the rear arm to help the balance and only with smaller lenses does it work. But even so, I still like it for the price. I usually use it with shorter lighter lenses so for me, it works.

Far less than 1 lbs actually, any camera over 1 lbs WILL cause the plastic on the leg locks to break. The specified bearing weight is clearly a lie, don't fall for it. This tripod can not hold a heavy object, much less its own weight.

depends on how much the camera wights, this Glidecam is for use to cameras up to 2lbs (if om not mistaken) For a 5D mark ||| you should use the Glidecam HD-2000

The manufacturer lists this ball head as supporting about 4 lb (~2 Kg). You can figure out what your camera weighs.

I would say around 10 pounds without any problems. My camera has a weights around 8 Lbs with the battery and light on top and the Dolly works great! Hope this info helps.

Mine isn't handy for a weigh-in at the moment, but Manfrotto's published weight is 1kg or 2.2 lbs.

Not really sure. I assume it is weight. I ordered this one because it appeared to be more sturdy and could support heavier cameras and lenses, especially in windy weather. I shoot quite a bit on lakes, rivers and the gulf shore. Needed one that could handle my special circumstances. It is heavy, but I use it quite often. Also use a remote, so I need to be sure that the equipment is safe from the weird things that can happen in nature. I would recommend if you don't have to carry over distances.

The answer here on amazon by Sasch M is good. Also, you can contact DSLRPros for more information on weight on items that you may want to consider for your drone. I have used them several times for equipment and advice. They rock!

I don't recall answering or commenting on the weight of the camera at all.But I did weigh it with this question and it's under a pound easy ( doesn't register on a home scale at all).I'm not positive on the weight at all but it's definitely under a lb.Hope this helps a littleChuck
