I thought it would be sufficient for what it will hold, but after reading here on the forum, I wonder if I under bought. The heaviest equipment I can foresee using, which I use now, is a Canon 6D, grip, and 100-400L. Seems to be quite stable. Vibration settles very quickly, etc. What's the opinion.

The ball sphere diameter on the head is 38mm which is big enough to lock pretty securely. I've never used that brand, so I can't comment on any potential sagging. Mark-B

I bought a short center column for my Benro CF, and it stays on my 3 section tripod. If I switch columns, I unscrew the hook mechanism and put it on whichever center column I'm working with. Dave
