If I work with DSLR attached with 1000 nirrror lens and the weight is about
3 kilos. Does a gorillapod (http://www.joby.com/uk/) cope with that. I know
that there are diffirebt types of gorillapods but I have not red any tests
of them.

Don't expect it to be a rock of Gilbraltar. Hold is one thing, solidly
is another.
Best advice? Use a remote and lock up the mirror.

The larger one

is rated at 3 kilos.
I didn't see anything resembling a warranty or guarantee.

shaped like a zucchini with the mount to one end.
