I have a heavy camera, the Nikon D3, and I would use this with heavy long lenses. What is hte maximum weight this can safely hold?

I don't have a clue, but it's sturdy. I use it with a spotting scope. I was more worried about breaking the car window! But it seems to be fine.

I don't know the exact maximum weight but feel certain it would hold it. I use mine for a spotting scope that weighs about three pounds. This is a very solid product. I am more concerned about the window holding the weight than the mounting device. Hope this helps

I do not know the maximum weight but I do not think it would safely hold a heavy camera. We do a lot of photography also and I would not trust it for that. My husband is using this for a spotting scope while hunting and that is about the most I would trust it on.

Don't know a weight limit, but I use mine for a spotting scope which is fairly heavy.

I have not used this with my camera but have used with my spotting scope. It is pretty solidly built so I don't think it would have an issue with the weight.

I would not recommend it because the surface area that contacts the window is not large and would put a strain on the glass.

It can support up to 6 pounds of camera+lens. Add the weight of your camera+lens; if it's heavier than 6 pounds then you need the Gorillapod Focus which can support 11 pounds. Cheers!

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.

we have a D70 so i don't know if the D90 would be ok. i would think so as this tripod seems pretty sturdy.i would either ask Nikon or Dolica customer service and review it with them. if you review the weight on your camera and then see if Dolica can confirm the weight limit on their tripod, hopefully you can get an affirmative answer. sorry i don't know for sure.

I've used it with a zoom lens that weighs about 4.5 pounds. I really like it.

Not sure. It's pretty sturdy. I have a Nikon d7000 with a 55-300mm zoom lense on it and there are no problems

I don't know how heavy your d7100 is, but I use it with my rebel with at heavy lens. The reviews for this has been very good and I was impressed. It feels sturdy.

I don't know. I have a D7100 with a 28 - 125 lens which it holds with no problem.

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

I would say yes it is strong enough to hold a DLSR type camera. I use mine with a pair of Canon image stabilized 15 X 50 binos and never a problem. These binos are heavy enough that after 8 hours of continuous use, it is my neck that feels the strain, and the binos are totally happy. Assuming they have not changed the strap/buckle material over the last few years, then I suspect they are capable of holding a lot more than I could deal with over a days use. Good luck and enjoy the harness.

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."

There should be no problem with the 263AT and that camera-lens combination,total weight ~1305g + grip weight. I use the 263AT and Manfrotto 498RC4 ball head with my Nikon d7100 and 300mm f/4 AF ED lens, total weight ~2100g. I only use that camera lens configuration with the center column oriented vertically but do mount the camera and Sigma AF 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM , total weight ~ 1320g, with the column moved to horizontal orientation.

Being a pretty basic tripod, it's weight abilities are limited. I have a Sony Nex3 camera and when using it with a 55-210 lens I had to tighten down the swiveling head clamps really tight to get it to hold it. Even then it was subject to some drooping I had to account for.

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.

Yes, most DSLR with reasonably big lenses will be stable. A stabilizing weight may be needed on the underhook.

I'm thinking at least 14lbs......20lbs. sounds right though.......I mount a Nikon D7000 with vertical grip and a 70=200 Sigma 2.8 on it with no problem at all.

I am not too sure but all I know is I have a full size canon camera and it hold its weight with no problem. My camera weight about 6 pound. I hope this help.
