Could someone explain to me what the differences are between these two mounts. I realize that the Gibraltor is heavier, but when I compare the pictures on Televue's website, I can't make out a difference in the tripods and see only a slight difference in the yoke assembly.

Heavier, wider spread, more stable. 70% heavier than the 10lb Panoramic.
