Berlebach Planet + GM1000 = ???

[orfest]

Dear friends,

 

I've received the most awesome mount ever: 10micron GM1000, and a new tripod: Berlebach Planet.

However, I still haven't got a chance to even install the new mount on the new tripod. There was some confusion, and I received the tripod with a wrong adapter. Now I have the correct adapter, but still can't figure out how to install the mount on the tripod.

 

According to the manual, the mount should be installed on 3rd party tripods like this:

Tripod -> Tripod adapter -> Base adapter -> Mount

With the screws provided, I can only connect:

* Tripod -> Base adapter -> Mount

* Tripod -> Tripod adapter

* Tripod adapter -> Base adapter

but not all three together

 

1) If you have Berlebach Planet tripod with GM1000, please please please share a photo of how the mount is installed.

 

2) Also, what do you think can happen if I skip the Tripod adapter and go the path "Tripod -> Base adapter -> Mount" ignoring the official manual?

 

Thanks in advance!

Users on 10Micron Forum responded that none of them uses the "Tripod Adapter". Will do the same.
