I want to mount this on top of a Nikon D800 DSLR. How heavy is it?

Once you add the battery to the unit, it's not very portable. It will add some considerable weight and change the balance. Also, the quality is just good enough to frame the subject, not for good for true color matching or critical focus. Hope this helps.

It's sturdy enough for your camera. My 70d with lens is almost double the weight and it works fine for me. It doesn't shake and I haven't broken it thusfar. I do recommend something heavier if you plan to film in windy/harsh environments.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

Not sure about the nikon but My Canon D60 w/ 70-300 IS lens weighs 4.10 lbs and it did great with that.

Probably too heavy - this monopod is great quality but not heavy duty. I use it with the Sony NEX 7 and a 200mm compact zoom and that starts to stress the monopod when fully extended.

This tripod weights between 1 1/2 and 2 lbs. my husband uses it for his spotting scope. Packs it everywhere. He can think of nothing he dislikes about it.

My camera and telephoto lens weighs 7lbs. and there is no problem. It is very sturdy but don't try to use it as a stand alone tripod. It can tip easily.

You will probably need to purchase a mount that can hold a heavier load, especially if you're going to do any type of photography. I believe the capacity of this mount is 35lbs.

It is stable for my Nikon d7000.since it is light to carry on, it is not for a big camera with a huge lens

I use it for my DSLR with a 100-400 telephoto lens and it has no problem. I used to have a real heavy 4x5 view camera (steel construction) which I would not have put on this, but I think any typical DSLR-lens combo would easily be held by it. It is pretty sturdy.

I would go with something larger for a DSLR. I think it would support the weight but something a little larger would be more steady with the camera attached, especially at any sort of an angle.

It is rated for up to 20 lbs. I find that 12 lbs is more realistic. When you start getting up to 20 lbs the tripod starts getting a bit wobbly. I use it with a Nikon D7100 and a 80-400mm and it about a perfect tripod for that setup.

The package states that it weighs 2.8 pounds. It is very sturdy and I would purchase another one. The only issue that I have is that if your SLR style camera has a rubber cover for protection, then the removable base (for the tripod) is tight.

I bought it to use with my SB-800s and some light modifiers. It holds perfectly.Than I test it with my D7000 and a nikkor 18-135mm, not so good. Too heavy for the socket.

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.

I have this tripod and I absolutely love it. I have a Canon 60D and can cantilever it out over my subject without any problems. You will have more weight they me, however, the stand is equipment to attached a cantilever weight to stabilize the tripod. I don't think you can go wrong.

I have not weighed it. However, it IS pretty heavy. You actually have to attach the lens to your tripod and then attach the camera to the lens. Then it is steady.
