Hello Greg,
I am an event photographer. I have bought my own first tripod year back from Dvshop. 23. The product is of great quality & can bear upto 15kf of weight. I use this pod with my Red One camera with a battery grip &variety of lenses.
No problems- this tripod holds everything fine, even in horizontal position.
