Will this hold a Nikon D800 with a 70-200 attached?
Asked by: Jim
Yes, the Manfrotto Element Carbon Fiber Small Traveler Tripod will hold a Nikon D800 with a Nikon 70-200mm lens attached. The setup will be the most stable if one does not extend the center column more than a third.

How is the drag control handled? with a separate knob?
Asked by: Frank
There are two knobs. One is a typical ball head friction control allowing full rotation of the ball. The other releases the base to rotate the head around the vertical axis through the center column. Exactly what you want in a small ball head. The whole tripod is very compact and I can fit it in a lens slot inside my messenger bag.
