Will the flex shooter mini or pro fit better with this Apex?
Asked by: Ryan
Flex shooter mini or pro will both work well on FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid Series II Tripod. If you have a heavy and long lens like the Nikon AF-S 800mm 5.6 lens I would recommend the Pro and if you have a lighter and smaller Sony 200-600 6.3 lens I would recommend the Mini.

What is the platform diameter for this tripod? I want to be sure that my 60mm diameter levelbase and tripod head are not too large in diameter.
Asked by: Jason
The head platform on the FLM CP30-M5 Hybrid Series II Tripod is 59mm. So, a head that is 60mm will be fine.

Is it waterproof?
Asked by: Yi
The FLM CP30-M5 is not fully waterproof, but can be used in shallower depths without issues. Regular maintenance and cleaning/rinsing to remove sediments are recommended if submersed or if used in saltwater.
