[QUOTE="Drew Wat, post: 109695, member: 12274"] I have the D80 and D600 and the 80-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and soon to have the 14-24 f2.8. Also the 50 f 1.8 and various other lens's but those are my main lenses with the new camera. I also have two Coolpix's and a Sony video cam that will be used on this tripod too. This tripod is water proof ( or so they say ) and due to the coating on the aluminum and its construction should last awhile. I will be putting it to the test in the next couple of weeks. Just doing home trials now testing the weight and shake issues it might have with the large lens but the load capacities are all within tolerable parameters. All the current tests are being done in the confines of a controlled environment. So far it looks pretty good. So if it isn't suitable for the big camera it will work with one of my others. The price was right and didn't break the bank. I have other tripods that are the older fashion with non detachable plate heads that are more than substantial to hold the weight but are also very cumbersome to pack around. [/QUOTE]
