Lets hear from the experts
Have a LXD75 mount. Going to replace the stock tripod with a much heavier LX200 standard tripod.
I can have a 4" tall by 4.5" diameter by 1/4" thick aluminum tube as part of the mount adapter OR a 12" one which would in effect become a 12" pier on top of the heavier lx200 tripod.
Which would be the steadier configuration.....short adapter on extended tripod or the 12" pier as part of the adapter and keep the tripod collapsed? Opinions?
Thanks!
