I had the Giro mini, now being used by lady friend. 
It's compact, well built and has very smooth motions. I recommend a tripod with an elevating column for clearing tripod legs when pointing up.
Mini is good for ota's <7lbs. Over that will need,imo, a counterweight bar on the opposite side of where scope is mounted , else azimuth motion will be very stiff.
Here it is mounted on a Bogan 3026 and WO-66mm. I did have some issues balancing the 66 due to the ota's short length, but solved with a longer dovetail bar.

Thanks Jim, I am thinking to buy a Giro Mini " sansone " that has the double of payload and with a counterweight ( means another telescopes and extra arm ) it may works with my FLT 98 mm aluminium version.
thanks.................Luis Gtz.
