Table top tripod

4 years 7 months ago #658845 by Photo Junky
Morning peeps.  Would you happen to know of a table top tripod that could hold a full size DSLR with 70-200mm lens on it and not tip over from the weight? 

I have looked at a number of these and they talk about handling the weight, but does that include tipping over from larger lenses?

You probably need a Joby 5K or equivalent, which would handle a 5kg payload (11 pounds). That's more than enough for a DSLR and 70-200.

As for tipping over, that's about even weight distribution. That's why your lens has a foot.

G'day PJ

I have used a Manfrotto table-top tripod for over a decade without any issues - esp once you realise to swivel one of the 3 legs to be under the camera lens and pointing forwards!!!

I am shooting with all of 1kg heavy superzoom cameras to Panny mirrorless with 100-300mm bolted on the front and have never had issues ... if I do, then the self-timer 2-second delay comes into play

Hope this helps

I use these that come with different mounting options Mini Stand 

Light is free… capturing it is not!
