I have an 70" tripod that weights about 10 pounds. Is my tripod going to be able to be safe &amp; secure with this backpack?

It does have a fabric cup sort of thing and a pretty decent strap to secure it. I think it's 3.5" in diameter. Not sure of the base size of the tripod you have. It could work, but check the diameter of the tripod! Seriously... I don't have a tripod... I used that option for a hammer... what can I say... it worked!

I'm using a Canon 70D an it holds it great. You could also check it out on YouTube see if the helps.

To SPECIFICALLY answer your question, yes, the legs will support the weight just fine. With all that weight, be sure to have the camera tightened securely onto the tripod, and when it's where you want it, really tighten everything down so you don't get drift with the camera.

It depends on how you're willing to trade-off the tripod's superb mechanical attributes with weight. I think it's pretty heavy but if you need flexibility as far as positioning the tripod and need substantive structural support, then this is a great product. The best tripod I own really. But I think it's too heavy for a long hike or a casual photo-op around town unless you plan to wear a good backpack. Hope this helps!

Yes it should hold that easily. I have two Nikon full-frame camera bodies, and five Nikon lenses (including the 70-200 mm f/2.8) in my bag. I like the top opening feature as I keep the 70-200 attached to my D800 in the bag and can just pull that out from the top. The only complaint I have with the bag is that the hand and shoulder straps are a little light on the padding. They are quite thin compared to my "Think Tank Pro" bags; but the Manfrotto can hold a lot and accessing the gear is easier than the Think Tanks.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

It will hold as much as your tripod hole on the bottom of your camera can hold. Should be no problem

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makes the tripod "slide" downward.

I have a Hawk spotting scope that is 19" long & weighs 4.5 lbs. Is this tripod sturdy enough to hold this scope steady?

The legs are much stiffer than I thought, larger too. You are probably safe up to 5lbs, maybe even more. The tripod dwarfed my point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix. Warning: the more you use it, the more flexible and less sturdy the ball-and-socket joints get.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

I have used the MB-D10 with the D700 on a tripod and it is very sturdy. I don't even worry about it.

It will hold up to 15lbs. It works great with my D7000 and an 18-105 plus a 10lb sandbag which is heavier than your current setup.

Yes, I attached mine and it is very secure. I use it with a Canon 500mm so it certainly handles the weight.

I'm sure it wouldn't hold the weight of a DSLR. I have a larger GorillaPod designed for micro 4/3 cameras and when I tried to mount a Canon 7D on it, it was very frustrating because the legs kept collapsing due to the weight.

I have a 60" tripos and it fits great and straps on very securely. Mine doesn't way as much but the construction of this pack is pretty sound.
