I was giving this tripod as a gift manfrotto, will it hold my canon 7d with battery grip and an orbis flash ring? should i worry?

i dont know much about lightweight tripods but i will say manfrottos are pretty tough worst case scenario is it doesnt hold when you try it out and you return it for a stronger tripod.

???

Supports: 3.31 lbs.

If your 7D and lens weighs more than this, then no, it won't work.

Did I miss something??

Says it only supports 3.31 lbs. While it may work it may not be the most stable option.

A gripped 7D and a smallish lens like the Sigma 30 is already right at the max weight. I personally wouldn't use that tripod.

exactly.

also if you have not tested it yet bychance put some counter weight on it just in case. i would rather hear that it just didnt support the weight and shifted some or the camera tilted down and wouldnt stay up than to hear your gear somehow made the whole tripod flip over lol.

there is a good chance you might be able to get away with using a counterweight but life is much easier if your tripod supports everything as is.

bookbags make good counterweights for those that dont have sandbags with handles on them, and im pretty sure a sandbag on a film set might be tooo much counter weight
