Its a older one that came with my c11 and its a real good solid tripod, since i will be doing some wide field imaging with a tmb 80/480 scope with a 450d camera setup. I think that head would hit the legs of this tripod since its spread out wide,, Post Extras:       TONGKW scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 01/16/07 Re: CG-5 tripod question [Re: pizzaboy71]       #3097478 - 05/11/09 03:00 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The CG5 eq mount can be fitted to this tripod if you custom make an adapter plate with a recess of 60 mm diameter and 20 mm deep and the central bolt has to be 10 mm metric screw thread.
