Thanks David and John. A standard G11 is about the max budget wise so about $2200. The CGE wasn't a problem setting up. My set up at the time was a CGE 1400 and the tripod did the splits on me once. The lower spreader was not tight enough. Every fastener needed to checked nearly every time I set up. That's only one problem I had among many.
I will look into the GP mounts John. Thanks.
