      #3422384 - 10/31/09 06:47 PM

Hi All,
Does anyone know what the distance is between the three mounting holes on the GM-8 and G-11 tripods? Ive got a mount head that may fit >crossing fingers> .

Thanks in advance!

Can you be a bit more specific on what measurement you need?

I need to know how far apart from each other the mounting holes are. And, almost forgot, how far the holes are from the top. These are the holes that you align the mount head to in order to screw it onto the tripod...hope this helps.

Here you go.

Around the outside the 3 holes are 6 1/4" apart center to center.
Across the insdie of the mount the diameter is 5 1/2"
The holes are 1/2" from the top - to center of hole.
