What the thread found

• The MK-V four-stage post is available only in 2-inch diameter, requiring a new gimbal if upgrading from a 1.5-inch system
• Pro and MK-V superpost systems are not compatible with each other
• Using longer armpost extensions is a possible alternative to upgrading the entire rig
• V2 HD electronics may have different pin configurations, requiring verification before using replacement cables

Depends on

• The discussion involves a specific short-term production need rather than a long-term solution
• No definitive resolution was reached on whether the proposed alternatives would actually solve the high-angle shooting requirement
• Pricing and availability of rental options were not discussed in detail
• Compatibility between V2 updated electronics and available cable components was left unconfirmed
