I have a gitzo 3 series tripod and 2 manfrotto geared heads. Not sure if theres any other bits i need to get.

Also, do i need a laptop with any special software to align the mount?

Thanks.

A vixen polarie would be perfect for you. No laptop needed. Just search these forums for pics and information.
