Cory
I'm using it with a Kx and the heaviest lens I have is a tamron 70-300mm and it feels VERY sturdy.
Originally posted by timstone How well does the camera mount to the tripod? I've only ever owned cheaper tripods and the fit is a bit "loose" and makes me afraid of shooting vertical with it. I may be tempted to buy this now since I can't find the lens I wanted used any more.
The connector plate is metal and there is zero budge when it is secure

Yes the ball head is removable.
Side note: There is one tightening knob for complete vertical and horizontal movement. To me this is a good and bad thing because you can loosen, adjust re-tighten very quickly but if you have a pan head you can have it locked in place but still pan left and right. With a ball head you do not have that option, you have to loosen the knob.
