Re: Considering a GM811G

 

Vishal,

I also recommend going for the G11 with your 130mm refractor.? I originally purchased a GM811G to carry a small 85mm refractor, then bought a G11 dec when I upsized to a 130mm refractor.

I found dec backlash easier to control with the larger worm wheel on the G11 dec axis.? The longer saddle clamp on the G11 is also nice to use with when mounting longer scopes.

I can feel the weight difference between the two if I'm carrying either mount in one arm (the 811 is definitely "easier"), although I can't think of a time when this has mattered.

Thanks,
Dwight
