Tripod (Velbon Sherpa)

[Essaarcee]

Folks!
This is my 1st post here! I am a photo enthusiast and had been learning a lot reading all the great information in this forum/site.

I have a question regarding the tripod i own. I have Henry's HT 100 tripod. Henry is a photo store here in Canada and who have this tripod. Seems like it is the same as Velbon Sherpa 200R tripod just branded for Henrys.

My question is will it be able to hold camera like canon 60D or nikon D7000 with lenses like a 18-55mm or 18-200mm on it? Will it be able to handle something like a canon 7D with similar lenses?

Maybe some of you own the same/similar tripod and can share you experiences/thoughts.


Thanks

The Velbon Sherpa should hold those bodies with those lenses, but it wont be the most stable platform and I'd hesitate putting much more on it

would you be hesitant because those camera+lens combos might be to heavy for the tripod and cause to topple over?

Not necessarily topple over, but it wont be as stable as it should.
