Excellent Mike, nice pickup.
I'm sure you'll be wrapped in it's performance.
Dennis I do the same thing with my XYZ Manfrotto head to attach the ED80 onto the tripod.
I turn the head backwards to give me the required elevation.
Also great when I want a quick view of the sun using the solar filter.
Don't have to set up the EQ mount.
They are very strong products and I highly recommend them.
