Will this tripoid/monopod hold a 600mm lense and Canon EOS60 camera? null

Yes kind of but NO. I used it with a 18-140 and it broke the first month, the up down tilt lock screw stripped out. It would work well to hold a gopro. I would NOT suggest using it with 600mm lens. Get something way bigger made out of aluminum. You can always get open box or used to save money, but the tripod is not something you want to cheap out on. If it fails it will destroy your nice lens and maybe even your camera.

No I don't think so. I own a 70-200mm and it couldn't hold that.

The box says that it will support up to a 14 lb load. That being said, I don't think it really would. I bought this tripod to use with a lightweight Sony 4K consumer camcorder, as an additional B-roll unit. I'm assuming the lens in question probably weighs 8 to 12 lbs. I'm not very familiar with that camera model, but I'm guessing it's at least another 2 or maybe 3 lbs, not including any brackets, shotgun microphones, external monitors, flashes / lights etcetera. That size lens makes for a pretty front-heavy rig. I use Gitzo tripods for my professional gear. I price matched this product and got it for about $30. Depending on the model, a Gitzo would have cost between 10 and 20 times that amount. Short answer, see if they have something a little more sturdy.

Not if you plan on taking an overhead shot. Won't tighten down enough.

That combination might be a large overload for this tripod

It will support upto 14 lbs.

Derf · Answer

It depends on which 600mm lens you have. The tripod is supposedly rated for up to 14 pounds but I have only tried it with about 7 pounds and it was fine. I think you would want to find a heavier tripod if you expect to use heavy glass (large f stop lenses) especially if the lenses do not have a tripod mount on the lens. Hope this helps
