Thanks David
I am waiting to hear from AP in regards availability as they have a batch
shipping very soon so may get lucky
The RC 10 is about as heavy as I want to have to carry outside on a regular basis , its heavier than an C11 .
I should have enough room to move with the Mach1 even if I go a bit heavier and its limit should be at least as good as the G11 for imaging .
The weight is amazing , its lighter than my Cgem let alone the G11 while being larger in size which is what got me interested in it. I had reservations about the wooden tripod with heavier loads and the basic pier is cheaper , another option may be a G11 tripod . Waiting to hear from Rob Miller about costing etc .
Thanks for the offer to PM I may take you up on it if I get further down
the track with this
