Is this capable of handling a FF mirrorless body plus a telephoto lens such as a 70-200 2.8? A reviewer was concerned about the capacity of the head.
Asked by: Ignacio
Yes it is a very strong head with friction control and able to handle a telephoto lens such as 70-200 2.8. Please check here the listing for the head only and there is another review here which is positive. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1576684-REG/benro_gx30_three_series_arca_swiss.html
