I'd love to hear a review of this little unit.

I wonder if it could handle the Nikon D800E and a 14-24mm lens?

Greg.
A quick google for specs brings up a total weight of around 2KG (969 lens 1000g camera with battery) for that combination, Vixen list the maximum loading weight at 4.4 lbs = 2Kg.

Assuming that figure includes a ball head you're over the limit, they list 2 ball heads as accessories one at 158g, you wouldn;t be much over the maximum in that case. Most of the ball head's mass is balanced, just the shaft would be unbalanced so you could probably ignore the ballhead weight.
