what is the weight capacity of the mount? Expert Answer

Explore Scientific does not provide the weight capacity of their Twilight I Adjustable Head Mount and Tripod. I would recommend contacting them directly for more information.

Most Recent Reviews great after some screw tightening by J, Verified Owner, December 4, 2021
You gotta tighten all the internal screws first, but then it is really good. I like it for visual grab and go. Good investment with around 350 bucks. You can't go wrong with this one. I would always buy it again. Have fun.
