From what I have read the Polarie is good but very light weight. I am using a Nikon D800E and 14-24 lens (quite heavy, camera is about same or slightly less than 5D3).

The D800 is about 2.3 lbs loaded with battery?
Unless your 14-24 lens is really heavy your well in the clear with the Polarie.
It will take the PST no worries and most lens combinations unless you want to go overboard in which case you'd likely be better off with a EQ mount anyway with proper lens support.
It is extremely airline portable too. It really takes up next to no space.

I just weighed my D800E, 14-24 lens, grip with 2 batteries total = 5.2lbs.
Camera with body is about 2.25lbs, lens is about 2lbs, grip is about 1lb.
I suppose I could take the grip off and run off a power supply or only use freshly charged batteries. That would take it down to about 4.2lbs which is under the Polarie's limit of 4.4 lbs.
