My Tripod - http://bit.ly/MK394-H (MK394-H)
For the past few months we've had the pleasure of using some camera equipment from Manfrotto. Who is Manfrotto? Manfrotto designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of camera and lighting equipment for the professional photographic, film, theater, live entertainment and video markets. They also have a brand new product line that includes an extensive range of camera tripods and heads, lighting stands and accessories.
Here are some of the products we've been using and are showcasing today:
http://bit.ly/MK394-H Manfrotto MK394-H Photo/Movie Kit - This is the tripod that Jason has been using and it's perfect for DSLR cameras. It's not too heavy at 3.68 lbs, has a maximum height of 59" and can fold down to just 20". The photo/video head is designed well for precise video movements and at $112 it's extremely affordable.
http://bit.ly/MKC3-H01 Manfrotto MKC3-H01 Compact Photo/Video Tripod - As far as compact tripods go, the H01 is light (2.54 lbs), compact, easy to use and incredibly versatile. With a unique photo-movie switch, you can jump back and forth between two settings to help you better shoot photos or a wider range of movement for video. At $67, it's a steal!
http://bit.ly/MKC3-P01 Manfrotto MKC3-P01 Compact Ball head Kit - The P01 is similar to the H01 except it folds up nearly 3" smaller (15" total length) and weighs in at 2.2 lbs. Because we're always on the go, this aluminium tripod with quick release legs is a great choice. You may not want to put your heavy cameras on it, but it can work with any handheld unit and also sells for $67.
http://bit.ly/SB390-5BB Manfrotto MB SB390-5BB Veloce V Backpack - Available in 3 colors, the Veloce V Backpack is stylish, discreet and protects your expensive camera equipment without advertising it. With unique rear access, the contents of the backpack are secure against your body to prevent theft. What can you fit in it? A 15" laptop, a DSLR camera with a 70-200mm or similar lens attached plus room for 2-3 extra lenses, flash and accessories (LED, cards, cables etc). There are outer straps to attach a tripod and the backpack is water resistant. Pick one up for $109.99.
Manfrotto is constantly trying to innovate and create new and useful products. Their products are sold and distributed in over 65 countries around the world including the US, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and more.

What's the maximum weight it can hold??
Cheers.
(I have a canon 1100D Rebel), with a 58mm lens, and a 75-300mm zoom lens) - do you think it could hold the zoom lens - it's quite heavy...)

@CamJVids it can definitely hold the zoom lens, but this is a compact tripod, so just remember it's not specifically made for that.
