GP-DX mount on a Televue Tripod

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if a Vixen GP-DX mount could (or has been) fitted to a Televue Gibraltar mount (obviously with the Telepod head removed!). Would interested if anyone has any pictures of this or info they can pass onto me I would be extremely grateful for!

Regards Ian Mackinnon

Mackinnon,
I have done what you are thinking about doing. I order the Gibraltar legs from KB systems who make them for TeleVue (www.kbsystems.com) The legs are Dark Walnut and they are trimmed in brass fittings. If you are going to have more than 20 pounds on the mount, you might want to consider six clamps instead of three. Nothing can get you moving fastest late at night than to see your equipment beginnig to tilt as a leg slips. They have several other wood selections to chose from also. I have the mount and scope stored right now, but if you want digital pictures let me know and I will send them to you.
Best regards,
Barry
