Q: 6. What have been your experiences with this tripod? Have you found that the legs collapse easily? Must you be extra careful tightening the legs?. The column that goes up and down, must you also be vigilant that it too has been tightened "hard"? And, finally, the ballhead itself, can it hold without sagging ( or tipping over) a NIKON D90 or D7000 or D610 with battery grips and a 300MM lens?

A: The A1005Y is an excellent combination of streanth & portability. It has a 22 pound load capacity, well within your system requirements. The Sirui twist lock system only requires 1/2 turn to loosen or tighten. When loosened the legs move smoothly. When tightened they are solid. The Y-10 head is very solid.
