Q: 4. what is included with this item ? is it the track only or the legs too ? also what's the max load ?

A: It's the track and the spreader legs with rollers. I have no idea what the max load is but we're using a Sachtler Flowtech 75 tripod with FSB-8 fluid head tripod and Sony FS5 camera. We actually throw sand bags down on the spreader to prevent any slight jitters. The track is solid and I suspect could take a substantial amount of weight if necessary. We use it inside a studio to shoot vehicles. For the money we've found it's worth the investment.
