Is this rigid enough to use with an action cam that weighs about 6 ounces to shoot video in 3rd person perspective? I will be moving a lot and am wondering if it will hold its shape with all the movement it will see. It will be configured in an L shape with the horizontal portion being about 10 inches.

I believe it will. It is very ridged. Keep in mind its very heavy so it may be awkward having it on you while moving around.

it is fairly stiff..it's not going to hold shape for action sports or anything but you would be able to walk without sudden movements with a go pro or cam of that sort i would think.

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

I have not measured but maybe (at best) add an inch or so. The flexible part is VERY STIFF --- it is a strong material and requires muscle in order to bend it around. We've used this in several applications to hold web cams and small consumer weight camcorders and it has been worth every penny for our applications.

I have no idea how heavy a goPro is so I have no idea. I use this with a Olympus Stylus 1030SW that I just weighed at 6.75 ounces. I have used it in pools, rivers, lakes and oceans without issue since 2009. It's never failed to bob on the surface with the camera suspended below.

Depends on how heavy it is and whether it has a 1/4x20 threaded socket. If the camera and light weigh more than a couple of pounds and you try to position it in a position close to horizontal, I'm worried that it would not be able to hold it without sagging. If your equipment is heavy, you may be better off with the locking articulated arm, it will support more weight.

I just put mine on my postal scale and it weighs 2 oz. My scale is older, so I don't know how well calibrated it is anymore. I'm interested to know how you plan to use this if .6 ounces makes a great deal of difference to you. They are the greatest little inventions. Especially for someone like me who can't take a good selfie! Hope this helps.

It is for stage photo application. So it should be fine for motion taking video. Regards, kimoutlet

Umm... I would prolly not get this tripod. I only use this for a JVC camcorder. It is pretty small and for the most part "solid", but prolly would be rather shaky and there's a pretty good chance it would keep falling over.

It is advertised for video cameras up to 6lbs.I looked up your camera and it weighs 6.4lbs.I'm not saying it will,but I don't see where 7oz should make much difference.

I have shot video clips with this very successfully. Works best with no movement of the tripod during shooting. If you use it to move around while filming, get some practice putting right amount of drag on, so you can move fluid and smooth yet still have good control.... works excellent!

Depending on what you are using it for. I have found that if I need to use the camera pointed in an upward position, it doesn't work very well. Your camera is secure, but the weight of the camera seems to shift it downward. If you just need to go straight or downward to keep things still, it works fine.

I would not recomend this, since once it is unlocked, it will move freely in every position. There are 3 way heads suitable for this. With them you are able to decompose the movements in axial, rotational and lateral. I own a Befree to travel. My primary tripod is a Manfrotto carbon with 3 sections and a 3 way head. It is awesome, a little more heavy and bulkier.

The tripod is ver light wt and I do not believe it will hold up well in the long run. It is stable in a closed area with my Cannon ESO Rebel T5i attached. I have not used it much, prefer to use another heaver tipod. I do not recommend it as a primary tipod.

hi I use a sony mx2000 camera weighs about 6 pounds and its no problem for it, but this is the important thing to know, the dolly does not allow for easy tracking. Unless you have manually set the wheels in the direction of travel it is very jerky as the wheels try to line up. its fine to just move the camera around from a to b but not any god for tracking shots. i do love it as a way to move without having to lift etc. its also good for lighting, perfect for that actually. hope this helps. john

Do you mean horizontally? The short answer is "yes". It's not a strict 90 degree angle because the flex is not that flexible, but you can attach it horizontally and flex the camera vertically to be level. If you mean, can you attach it straight down vertically, and flex it 180 degrees for the camera to be upright, the answer, again, is "yes". As mentioned in other reports, the flex on this thing is very tight and requires two hands to bend, but it will bend. I had it attached to the underside of a slanted 2x4 and twisted it upwards to be upright and level. I was impressed.
