I bought this to use with the new Benro tripod and it's fantastic. My typical setup weighs about 5 pounds, but my telephoto/telephoto combo weighs just under 11 pounds. This head is rated a 17 and works great with my standard lenses, but I see a bit of creep on my telephoto lens no matter how tight I tighten it. I borrowed a 40lb B2 and it was perfect. So the lesson learned is, if you're using a telephoto lens where movement is amplified, use a head with a much higher load capacity, you may not need a load, but as the weight increases, stability increases. This is a great ball head, great design and quality, but it holds up well when using large telephoto lenses.
