I can answer it like this: I already had the much heavier Nikon d800 on it and use it regularly for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cam 4k and under "normal" circumstances it works. The tripod is of course very light and the mechanics are a bit fiddly and jerky for the price (as a video tripod, i.e. if you want to pan while filming, it is not suitable in my opinion accordingly). If you want to shoot outside in a storm, I would perhaps also advise a heavier tripod. But in general I'm satisfied: it's light, easy to transport, it locks well (it doesn't adjust once you've set it and tightened it) - and for under 40 francs I also accept that I have to wiggle the panhead back and forth a bit until it's in the position I want it to be.
