I am getting ready to setup my permanent (SkyShed) pier and I am a little confused by the Losmandy pier adapters / extensions.
?
I have the G11G HD mount with a 4" pier adapter. Using my SVX102T with SFFX1, FW, and OAG, I cannot really rotate my camera without the FW bumping into a leg of the tripod. Without having actually tested, it appears the top plate of the pier sticks out further than the legs of the tripod so I was thinking I'd get the 12" extension. Re-reading the website though, it appears that the extension may actually be just that - an extension mounted on top of the pier adapter.
Do the Losmandy extensions *replace* the pier adapter or just... heh... *extend* the pier adapter?
?
Thanks,
Joel
