BTW The lower centre column is 8" steel tubing. Weighs a bit, but solid as a rock.

It actually is. The pier breaks down into 4 pieces. The head packs into one case, as does the 8" OTA. Each piece is quite managable.

Does this mean the clutch is fixed?

No...still being changed...upgrading to a F355 clutch, the bits are still in transit

Quello sarebbe molto costoso!

I wouldve thought the standard G11 field tripod would be ample?. (It was rock solid with a 12" SCT on it)

What the heck is a G-15 ???

I've always been of the opinion you can never have too much mount.

Hi Peter,

Looks nice, is it gunna fit in the Ferrari?

i believe you, only that it would take a while to erect the mechano set

, though it would be well worth it

Tch!
Shouldn't it be Corsa Rosso with itty-bitty Cromadoro mags and PZeros!

Suppose I could get a Scuderia badge for it...

...tubi exhausts, new ECU chip....when does it end! ?

Nice setup, is that a custom made pier? I like the design of this pier. The G-11 tripod is great and can hold a significan amount of weight but the legs sometimes get in your way.

Looks the goods Peter...

Definitely says something about the GSO 8" RC if you're ditching the FSQ as your road scope for the RC! Or is that just personal focal length preference more than anything else?

Looking forward to seeing some images from the setup!

It would be a mistake to assume I'm ditching the FSQ!

The RC offers a very comfortable 1600mm, and is light enough to use a side by side plate.

All I need now is a camera!

No. Commercially available...but you might have to wait until the next edition of AS&T on where to obtain the same
