C200: C200 Top Handle Weight Limit?

[Tim Nitsch]

I was curious if anyone knew the weight limit of the C200’s top handle or subsequently the two 1/4-20 screws underneath.

I’m running the Wooden Camera Top plate and Bright Tangerine Top Handle.

I wasn’t sure if those were embedded into the inner metal core of the C200 or it it was just in the outside plastic shell.

I’m planning a shoot with the Canon 200-400mm which is a little hefty at around 8lbs and combined with all the other accessories (brick, monitor, etc) I wasn’t sure if should worry about ripping those mounts out of the body depending what they were attached to.

Pretty sure the top is part of the metal substructure. I'd guess it's pretty strong, but I don't know that Canon specs a weight limit.

Simple, call Canon and ask them. From everyone else, it's mostly going to be conjecture.
