can this support my Nikon D600 with a 300mm lens? or does that seem too heavy?

The monopod is very sturdy and we've had great luck with it on a variety of cameras and situations. Although I'm not familiar with the weight of a 300mm lens or more importantly whether it puts a significant torque on the point of attachment, my gut says it will be fine, plus Amazon does stand behind their products...

This compact monopod is too small. I would not put no more than three pounds on this monopod. My Canon PowerShot SX20IS works well with this. You should look at Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN I think this will work better for you.

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.

I don't know how big a Nikon D60 is but it fits my Nikon D3200 and extra lens just fine

The heaviest rig I have is a Canon 7D with a 70-200L 2.8 and it handles it well (with the lens collar of course). Don't think I would go any heavier, especially if it was a 500mm prime.

There will be no problem, I am now using the Mega Gear with my Nikon D600 (almost same body with D90) with a 28-300mm lens which is much larger than the 35-70mm lens.

Not sure. It holds a 100-400mm cannon zoom lens and Canon 7D without issue. It seems very sturdy.

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.

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.

Hey Barbara, I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

It will hold my Nikon D3100 with Nikon 55-300 attached with a little room left over.

The lens should mount with no issues. I myself have the exact setup (d600) and this lens. It is slightly thighter on the turn to lock. Other than that nothing else

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

I believe so, well designed to distribute weight. It is very comfortable w/ my 8x42 Nikon's, but have not tried anything larger or heavier.

Yes. The small camera/lens mount cannot support the weight of a heavy lens.

I use it with a Nikon D600, 28-300mm lens attached plus a Sigma 12-24mm, plenty of room for keys, phone etc... The strap is a bit tough so I used the strap padding from my old Passport Sling to make it more comfortable. Hope that helps!

I use it on a D300.it is heavy!! It does take good pic and a tripod should be used

Definitely. I use it carrying my Panasonic af100 with a heavy lens, nyrius wireless and a battery bank

No. I have a Nikon that weighs a few ounces and this mount was unable to support it without a lot of vibration. I gave the mount away.
