A: It should. This is a very light travel tripod and works best with lighter weight equipment. I used it wit a Nikon D3300 with a long lens and it was ok.

Q: 5. Can this be used for the solo shot 3?

A: With this tripod having a 4.5 pound load capacity it would not be our first recommendation for the Solo Shot. You will want a sturdier tripod to handle both the weight of the camera along with it panning on its own. A Magnus VT-350 Video Tripod with Fluid Head, which has a 15 pound load capacity, is a better choice. You will need a reducer bushing as well.
