Head is an 804RC2, which claims to be rated for over 8.5 lbs. Lens+body combo comes out to (back of envelope) a little over 5 lbs.


Despite the near-omnipresent rants about the smoothness of the head's adjustments in Internet reviews, it would seem up to the task... although now I do recognize it's the most "economical" element of the setup and might be due for replacement.
