A:AnswerI just tested it with an old 35mm SLR with big zoom lens which weighs a little more than 2lbs total. I put the legs in spread position and it was steady on a table top.
A:AnswerYep. It’s a tripod with a standard quarter inch mounting screw. You will need a GoPro tripod adapter that is quarter inch female on the bottom/GoPro three prong mount on top. Very common hardware, if you have GoPro stuff you likely already have one. Otherwise this is a nice little bendy leg tripod, good for table top or mounting to something.
