1. What cameras and lenses work with the GorillaPod 5K Video Pro?
The GorillaPod 5K Video Pro supports DSLRs and mirrorless cameras up to 4kg (8.8 lbs). This includes Canon EOS R5/R6, Sony A7 series, Nikon Z6/Z7, and similar professional cameras with attached lenses. The system works excellently with 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, and other professional video lenses commonly used in video production.

2. How does the fluid head compare to standard ball heads for video work?
The professional fluid cartridge system provides smooth, controlled movement specifically designed for video production. Unlike ball heads that can cause jerky movements, the fluid head delivers consistent drag throughout pan and tilt motions, essential for professional video quality. The removable pan bar offers precise directional control that's impossible with standard photography heads.

3. What warranty and support options are available?
JOBY provides a comprehensive 2-year limited warranty covering the fluid head mechanism, GorillaPod legs, and all components. The warranty includes free replacement of the fluid cartridge if it fails due to manufacturing defects. Indian customers receive full warranty support through authorized dealers with technical support for professional video applications.

4. How should I maintain the fluid head for optimal performance?
Clean the fluid head quarterly with a lint-free cloth and avoid getting moisture in the cartridge mechanism. Never disassemble the fluid head as this voids warranty and can damage the precision mechanism. Store in a dry environment and check the pan bar locking mechanism regularly for smooth operation. Avoid extreme temperature changes that can affect fluid viscosity.

5. How does this compare to traditional cinema tripods costing thousands?
The GorillaPod 5K Video Pro offers 80% of professional fluid head functionality at a fraction of traditional cinema tripod costs. While lacking variable drag control and counterbalance of high-end systems, the fixed drag provides consistent performance suitable for most professional applications. The flexible mounting capability offers unique positioning options unavailable with traditional tripods.
