it is light, just under 4lbs and sturdy enough to support all but the heaviest camera and lens combos.

holds my heavy canon rebel xsi w/ my long lenses.
from www.bestbuy.com
i have a heavy canon 50d and a big lense and flash so my gear is pretty heavy, the velbon holds the weight very sturdily and the overall manufacturing of the tri-pod is top-notch.

very well made sturdy product, purchased it recently and have been using it ever since, my d70s and a 18-70mm or a 55-200mm lens is easily supported by this tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i added a manfrotto mini ball head for even more flexibility, i won't recommend using it with large lenses.
from www.amazon.com
so for a travel monopod i would highly recommend it for a compact dslr and moderate zoom lens.
from www.amazon.com
it's sturdy enough for a nikon d40 or d90 with an 18-200 zoom lens and gives you just the right amount of support for the job.
from www.amazon.com
i can use it with a 70-200 lens with great results.

from www.adorama.com
shooting with a nikon f100 with 24mm and 50 mm lense- telephoto lenses probably would be too much.
from www.amazon.com
i am amazed how light this tripod is, and yet how rock solid it is with my nikon d300 with an 80-400mm zoom lens.
from www.amazon.com
i've used it with rrs ball head from my main tripod with a nikon d300 and three different lenses and it's done what i purchased it to do.
from www.amazon.com
i think it's overkill if you have a camera that's less than 2 pounds, but if you need an ultralight, stable tripod and have a camera/lens combo more than 2 pounds this tripod is fantastic!

from www.adorama.com
folds small enough to fit in my motorcycle bag yet strong enough to support my 200mm - 400mm nikon lens.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
it's lighter than a lot of my lenses and it's so compact.
from www.amazon.com
it does have a weight limit so some of the supersized glass may have weight issues, but it is able to support my canon 30d, battery grip and a 70-200mm lens.

it is small, light and can hold up to 8kg which is more than enough to hold a 70-200mm f2.8 lens.
from www.amazon.com
certainly, my normal tripod better suits the weight of the nikon with a decent lens, and the 1541 cannot match its strength and stability.
from www.amazon.com
i recently used the tripod and a nikon d300 with an 80-400 mm lens on a trip that involved getting in and out of small boats to visit islands.
from www.amazon.com
pair it with a markins q ball head made for it and it will take a canon 100-400mm lens and camera.
from www.amazon.com
holds my d700 with 70-200 f/2.8 and 300 f/4 nikkor lenses very steady.

Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN

$56.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Rick of wild image", www.adorama.com
with bogen ball head it makes a rigid single instrument for camera and even long lenses that serves as a hiking pole w/ camera.
from "MT", www.adorama.com
i'll use this when out in the field with longer lenses.
from www.amazon.com
i use a nikon d200, usually with a nikkor 17-55 lens (fairly heavy setup), so this monopod is probably overkill, considering that it can hold like 26 lbs.
from www.amazon.com
at $60, this monopod fit my price range, i have a canon 30d and use a 100-400 l lens at airshows and other sporting events where i need more stability than hand holding but a tripod is impractical.
from www.amazon.com
very helpful if you have a heavy lens and weak biceps!
