Boasting remarkable versatility for supporting your gear, the GorillaPod 5K Flexible Mini-Tripod from Joby has legs made up of several joints that allow you to wrap it around objects and adapt it for use in uneven ground. With a load capacity of 11 lb, it can reliably hold professional DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and other kinds of gear. The notably compact construction of the tripod, featuring a 15.2" height and 17 oz weight, makes it easy to store or carry it while travelling.

To help improve its grip and stability on unstable surfaces, the joints and feet of the GorillaPod 5K are rubberized in certain areas. The rest of the tripod is made of metal and a proprietary ABS plastic designed to provide durability and stable performance. Featuring a 3/8"-16 thread adapter at the top which can be removed to reveal a 1/4"-20 screw, the stand can be used directly with your gear or attached to an optional ball head for further shooting capabilities.

Q: 1. Will the ball head work with the Peak Design Dual Plate v2 I have on my camera? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1372682-REG/peak_design_pl_d_2_dual_plate.html

A: As the Joby GorillaPod 5K Flexible Mini-Tripod with Ball Head Kit is compatible with Arca-type quick release plates, yes, the Peak Design Dual Plate v2 for Capture Camera Clip should be compatible for your usage needs with the Joby GorillaPod 5K Flexible Mini-Tripod with Ball Head Kit.

Q: 2. Looking to buy a first hiking tripod (budget 100$ or less), and trying to understand : would this be a better buy if winds are a problem? (I am assuming that I won't have a problem to find suitable sites to place/attach this tripod). Would I be better off with this than full- or medium-sized tripods at 100$ or less. I use a compact fixed lens mirrorless camera, so weight of camera is not an issue. Thanks

A: Wind would not be a problem with the Joby Gorilla Pod because even if you could not attach it to anything, it would be quite low to the ground so wind could not easily get underneath the tripod or camera.

Q: 3. What is the minimal height of the tripod?

A: If factoring in the ball head and the legs spread completely, the minimum height would be about 5 inches.

Q: 4. is this compatible with a standard manfrotto style plate, or does it have to be acra swiss? Is there a way to make this compatible with Manfrotto plate?

A: This product has an Arca-type compatible quick release plate system. It will not work with Manfrotto plates like the 501PL. However you could attach a 577 Rapid Connect adapter to the top of the ball head. From there you'll be able to use 501PL plates. https://bhpho.to/2MJNapt

Q: 5. 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: 6. Hiiiiii! Where is this GREAT tripod made? Thanks so much!!

A: The country of origin for this item would be China

Q: 7. Will a M50 work with it and handle it's weight??

A: Yes, but also depending on the lens, wide and smaller zooms are ok.

Q: 8. Can this GorillaPod hold the weight of a Nikon D750 with lens?

A: Yes! Holds my D810 with a lens fine.

Q: 9. Has anyone tried attaching this to a car window?

A: Unless you have a vehicle with a roll bar cage that you can wrap the GorillaPod legs around, we would not recommend this for a car mount. More likely you have a small camera and in such case, we would suggest this Vanguard PH-304 Window Camera Mount B&H # VAPH304. If you have something bigger, you could look as this hostess tray camera support shelf. Eckla Eagle Car Door Camera Lens Support B&H # ECCDCS. (You would add tripod head to this) Whatever you do, be sure to tie a safety rope, line, chain, strap or whatever to your precious camera. That is because you never know what is going to happen when you go Hollywooding.

Q: 10. Will this work with my Nikon d7200 and tamron 16-300mm lens? Thanks

A: This tripod will easy hold that camera and lens.
