Thanks, Allan
the pier is about 350 above the deck, then the pier height lowered is 700, so that makes just over the metre, then there is the actual mount, have to measure the G11 - but lets assume its another 350 so there is 1.4m, then i can raise the pier up to another 600 above that if needed LOL so i can place a camera very near to 2m from the deck, the top of the dome is the opening fully extended for some very wide field shots - guided, or leave it in the base position for rock solid performance.

but thats my problem, however Marcus drew this up - its a great guide
