G11 G ordered.
After SWMBO told me i could order the G11, i ordered straight away before she could change her mind 
I just hope the Gemini 2 will perform as good as the Gemini 1 LVL4.
At Bintel they say i could have it as soon as mid March 
Just a pity i can't have it at SV camp 
Will keep you all informed how fast the delivery time is.

The good thing about the new Gemini is that it has a USB port so it can be directly connected to the computer 
Also lan is available so i could use bluetooth
One EQ6 pro up for sale in March

Congratulations, Martin. If your EQ6 images are anything to go by, you're going to be making masterpieces with the G-11.
Just make sure you treat it nicely. : P

mount
I notice ATS was selling the G11 cheaper than Bintel (not by much) although not sure if this is the G2 model
is it much more with the HD tripod
I personally don't like the cheap look of the counterwieghts so I'd probably drill out a couple of my EQ6 ones to fit the shaft
Hope it all go's well as I will need feedback as wanting to buy new mount myself this year and I just can't to seem to justify
$8-10k on a mount such as the MX or an AP

My luck is that Bintel is about 32km from me and i can pick up the mount.
From ATS i have to pay a nice bit of postage so it would be the same price in the end.
Also i work about 1km from Bintel, so dont have to pay postage if something is wrong with the mount
PS: The ATS model is the one with the HD tripod and Gemini 2.

I had this reply from OPT last week - I was inquiring about the possibility of some Losmandy mounts becoming available any sooner than the new Paramount MX (currenctly said to be due in the 2nd quarter):
" the waiting list for the Losmandy G112 is quite long and knowing the manufacturer, we are not going to get all of our back orders in one shipment. In other words, you stand a better change of getting the paramount before the Titan mount."
I read that as meaning that you won't see any Losmandy mounts this side of about July.
