1. Will this tripod support my camera and lens combination?
The JOBY Compact Advanced handles cameras up to 6.6 lbs (3kg), making it suitable for most mirrorless cameras with standard lenses, compact DSLRs, and entry-level camera systems. For heavier setups like full-frame DSLRs with telephoto lenses exceeding 200mm, consider a more robust tripod for optimal stability.

2. What warranty coverage and shipping options are available?
JOBY provides a 2-year standard warranty covering manufacturing defects, with free warranty extension available through online registration. Most orders include free standard shipping, with expedited options available. Replacement parts like quick-release plates are available directly from JOBY.

3. How does this compare to Manfrotto travel tripods?
Unlike Manfrotto's plastic-heavy designs, the JOBY Compact Advanced features aluminum construction with a professional 3-way head. The key advantage is GorillaPod ecosystem compatibility - you can use the same quick-release plate across JOBY's flexible and traditional tripods. Manfrotto tripods typically cost 20-40% more for similar specifications.

4. What maintenance is required to keep it performing optimally?
Monthly cleaning: Wipe legs with damp cloth after outdoor use. Deep cleaning: Disassemble leg sections quarterly, clean threads with soft brush and mild soap. Lubrication: Apply white lithium grease to twist-lock threads annually. Store in provided carry bag to prevent dust accumulation.

5. What makes JOBY different from generic tripod brands?
JOBY's professional heritage stems from creating the original flexible tripod technology. Unlike generic brands, JOBY offers ecosystem integration - accessories like GripTight phone mounts, Wavo microphones, and Beamo lights work seamlessly together. The company provides dedicated customer service and readily available replacement parts.
