I dunno about \"day in and day out\" but I use it often with long fast lenses. I believe the listed max load rating of 12kg. If I crank down on all three of the twist leg-locks I can put about 120 to 150 pounds on it before it slowly slips downward. So planting and lifting 12kg all day long should\'t be a problem. I dunno how much my MF 300/2.8L and my Sigme 500/4.5 APO plus the GH2 plus the gimbal head weigh exactly but those are what I use on it mostly. I have a tendency to lean on the rig which probably applies another 2 to 4kg to whatever that is too.
