What the thread found

• Placing a docking collar below the gimbal can cause the ring to squeeze and slightly deform the post, making it harder to extend or retract a telescoping post

Depends on

• The experience is based on a specific camera model and setup from 2010
• The concern about post deformation may not apply if using a fixed, non-telescoping post
• A docking collar mounted below the gimbal may obstruct gimbal movement when the camera needs to be inverted for low-angle shots
