Tha's odd - I've found that head to be quite capable of holding a much heavier combination (MZ-S + BG + 250-600; around 6Kg) as long as the lens is close to horizontal. Yo *do* know that the tension is adjustable, right? Dial it up to even the half-way point and I've found it to be capable of holding a lot more than the rated maximum load; the rating limit assumes the worst case, which would be when you have the head at right angles to the mounting axis.
