It's also built like a brick dunny. I've used a Canon 5D and 500mm F4 with one and it purred along nicely. The Vixen would probably snap.
Flip it vertical and you have a multi-rate timelapse pan-head.
I intend on taking mine up to Port Douglas later this year  |
Peter, do you use it with just the RA drive, or both RA and Dec? With both drives does it still fit in a "small padded camera bag"? I know on the ATS site you have a photo of it with a C6. Would an ST80 (with DVR rings) and DSLR be OK, or would a 500mm cat and DSLR suit better?
I'm taking the Prado to Trinity Beach and this would be a lot less to fit in and easier to handle than my CG5, let alone the G11.
