Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this hold a telephoto (like a 600mm) well?

A: While it is rated for 11 pounds and most 600mm lenses are 7 pounds or less, it would not be able to handle the length of a 600mm lens. I would recommend something more solid such as this Leofoto: https://bhpho.to/3ixzFru

Q: 2. Can I use it underwater ? Is it waterproof?

A: Yes, just take everything apart and hose it down afterwards, especially if it is salt water.

Q: 3. Is the legs (balls) made out of metal?

A: The joints are a hybrid of metal and plastic. The socket component of each ball joint is metal, while the inner ball component is made of ABS plastic.

Q: 4. Can this tripod support the weight of a Canon60D with a canon 70-300 mm lens attached?

A: It may support it, but it won't stay where you set it for long as the weight will cause some creep. You may want to consider buying the larger model. For the 60D with smaller lenses it would work great. I tried it with my T7I and a 500mm lens and decided to just use my larger tripod for that. It works great for my 150mm though. I hope this helps.

Q: 5. Is there a small case that would fit the 3k Pro Rig?

A: The tripod is so small, light and durable that most people just carry it in their camera bag rather than using a separate tripod case. But this Mefoto case would fit the Joby 3k: https://bhpho.to/3aQ1Mz6

Q: 6. Can this be used for Canon EOS m5

A: I use this with a Canon EOS Rebel T6. It works well but it is not strong enough to hold it like the bendy Tripods are good for, like on poles and fences. You should probably go for the GorillaPod for DSLRs if you have the money and don't also have GoPros.

Q: 7. I bought the 3kpro here and now want to add the arms. Is the arm kit and hub compatible? Everything online only says fits 3k and 5k. No mention of the 3kpro. Thanks.

A: Yes, the item number is JOJB01523.

Q: 8. I have tried to find the base measurements of the JOBY GorillaPod 3K Pro. I wish to use another ball head manufacturer. I have even tried to research the Job 3K Pro ballhead to find its base measurements but to no avail. Anyone know?

A: The mounting base that the head goes on to is two inches and has a 1/4-20 mounting screw

Q: 9. When I remove the small Arca-Swiss plate that comes with the Joby 3K Pro Kit, the remaining Arca-Swiss clamp on top of the Joby has a spring loaded pin that interferes with my A-S plates at the bottom of all my cameras/lenses. Can that pin be removed some how?

A: It cannot be removed, unfortunately. But there are ways to deal with it. You should still be able to use all your existing arca-swiss plates if you open the clamp up all the way. Simply insert it top down rather than sliding it in and it should still accommodate your current plates. You can also tape it down using some cellophane tape or gaffer's tape to keep the safety/security pin from popping up.

Q: 10. How long are the arm segments?

A: The JOBY GorillaPod Arm Kit arm segment is 6.9" long.
