Nikon Compact Camo Tripod 851

Does the NI-TR-851 tripod work for a Nikon D-50 digital Camera? Will it hold this camara with a telephoto zone of 80 to 210 zoom lense that is also a Nikon?

Hi

You can attach any camera to this tripod, but as to stability with a large telephoto lens, this will not perform as well as a larger or more expensive model. For serious camera work, I'd recommend a Bogen Manfrotto 3180N Tripod and Head Kit, but even moving up to an all metal head tripod, such as the Nikon Manfrotto Tripod Full-Size 848 or Bushnell Advanced Titanium Tripod 784040 will be an improvement over the Nikon 851 with its plastic head.
