Hello,
i have bought and use a Manfrotto 293 Alum tripod with RC2 ball head for lanscape shots
and astrophotography.
Its safety payload is said to be 4kg and my heaviest setup is a Canon 6d with 24-105L and a filter which are under 2kg.
I've seen many photographers getting a tripod with a payload of 8kg to hold similar setups as mine and i was wondering why.
I have not encountered any problems up to now, but i am wondering if there is a safe way to check its stability.
Kind regards,
Evangelos
Taking controlled photos will determine the stability, but testing will not make it any more stable. If you are concerned about the strength, then it is likely well over the specified amount. Just don't extend the center column. Back in the day I put a ridiculous load on a 3001 with no ill effects.
