Q: 1. Can you tell me the weight please?

A: 2.5kg (5.5lbs)

Q: 2. I'm a tad confused about the 2-step weight specs. 2-steps, 10 and 22 lbs(4.5 - 10 kg) ....what does this mean? I shoot with a fairly light DSLR set-up and am slightly concerned about reviews regarding the fluid heads performance with minimal weight.

A: I have been shooting with the SOLO 20 for about a year now. Most of the time I shoot with the Canon 600 F4, 1.4 converter, and 1D MKIV without looking at the actual weights I would say its about 17 pounds. I think it would be more stable with a bigger tripod, but I'm not interested in packing around anything bigger. I also shoot the 1D MKIV with the sigma 150-600mm sport lens on this tripod and it as solid as a rock (11 pounds or so.) I would like to see one improvement to this tripod; I feel the first leg stop on this tripod is too tight, if the legs where out a little more on the first stop the tripod would be more stable with 20 LB load. The next setting on the tripod is too wide, maybe they could add one in the middle. I have been very happy with this tripod worth the money. I rented it from lens rental before I bought it.Harlan

Q: 3. Does the tripod work with Canon 5D Mark III?

A: yes

Q: 4. Has anyone checked the tripod/bag under the plane before? Is it a padded bag?

A: The case is padded, but I wouldn't trust checking it in by itself. If you remove the head from the sticks, they will fit comfortably in a large duffle bag. Then you'll still have room for extra gear :)

Q: 5. Will this support an FS7 package with Atomos Shogun and 70-200 lens in low mode (widest leg angle)? I ask, because I effortlessly snapped the leg of my Benro doing that.

A: The Miller Solo-Q 75 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod is very strong and will hold payload weights up to 44lbs which would be far lower than the FS7 kit you work with. It would be a perfect strong tripod option for your payload.

Q: 6. Can I buy the tripod without the head? If so, please post link.

A: the tripod without the head is the Miller Solo DV Aluminum Tripod with 75mm bowl- Supports up to 44 lb (20 kg), the B&H part number is B&H # MI1630

Q: 7. How much does it weigh?

A: 2.5kg (5.5lbs)

Q: 8. If not using full height, would it extend the thicker sections first before the thinner ones?

A: Yes, that will be possible if not using it at full height.

Q: 9. Does it allow Phantom Power to go through?

A: Yes, as long as you do not wire any as a mult.

Q: 10. Can this control 8 sequential DMX single address DMX fixtures for dimming only? In other words, faders 1-8 control DMX 1-8
