Gibraltar 5 Mount for FS102

Hello all,

I have a TAK FS 102 mounted currently to a TV Gibraltar with sky tour. The trouble is the mount appears to be a bit small for the scope. I am wondering if anyone could give me advice on if the new beefier head designed for the 5" TV scope the Gibraltar 5 would be a significant improvement in stability. This would be a low cost alternative as I can buy the head only and mount it to my existing tripod along with the sky tour. Of course I don't want to waste the money if this isn't going to improve things much. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Kyle
