So i am saying make sure you compare apples to apples - proven imaging carrying capability.

Thanks Glen, i am looking at about 25kg +-
The 2 as advertised suggest that they are capable of carrying this.

If possible and if funds permit get the Maxxon motor up grade very smooth and powerful little motors.
About the other option you mention, well I cant comment on that as I have never used one.


Thanks Leon, the new Losmandy mounts have the upgraded motors and worm and is also now spring loaded
