As long as the net cups are the same size - which they appear to be - you can lift the fabric pot out of one reservoir and place it in another. I’ll often set up an empty rez/lid on the workbench to use when I need to pull plants out of the tent for pruning.
EDIT: Just be kind to your roots as you move/place them!

Those are useful pictures for sizing. 
For people looking into them. Seeing the fabric pot reminded me of one thing that is worth mentioning.
If you tie your plant down to the side of the pot for LST, it might work, but the material used for the pot may not hold up to repeated poking and prodding. It looks durable enough, but a little stringier than a typical fabric pot. I ended up installing eyelets in mine.
The eyelet tool was like $7 at Walmart.

Yeah it doesn’t feel like the fabric pots, the bag feels like its felt but 1/4 the thickness of the fabric bags.
Kinda feels like tyvek but with open pores.
Edit: I’ve also seen photos of a octopot trellis integration.
Here it is

Does the fabric pot have a nub or something that sticks down into the middle of the net pot?
The reservoirs are shorter than I would have guessed, they look awesome.

If you buy the strapped bags, there’s 2 straps that go across the bag to hold onto the cup. So you can lift the whole thing, and move it easily.
On the bottom of the 6 gallon rez, there is a dimple the sticks up that the cup rests on that keeps it from shifting. When I get home I’ll take a pic.
But the 3 gal does not have such thing, the 3 gal just sits inside the rez.
I’m just glad, after this grow I have going is done, I’ll never have to pull out a plant to water again!!

I watched a few videos of Larry Hall’s rain gutter grow system with Walmart bags and there are quite a lot of similarities with the Octopot.
But one difference is that he does not want roots to grow into the water reservoir. He wraps a piece of landscape fabric around the netpot that drops into the water. I guess blocking the water in a PVC pipe/gutter is more of a problem than a reservoir used by a single bag, but it makes moving the plants a bit easier too.

If you look in your local Home Depot or similar in the plumbing department they have all sorts of ways to attach pvc pipe to your tent posts or build around the res
