The CF tripod is really only suitable for small scopes which Pegasus said from the beginning  <15kg

The small and lightweight construction of mount and tripod are prone to vibrate more easily.

I have 2 NYX-101 mounts now and one of them is mounted on a pier.

At one point I had a fully loaded 200PDS on there and when mounting that scope you can see the mount flexing, it's all just very small made.

My GM2000 is equipped with my RASA11 and Esprit 120 and that thing doesn't budge, mass is king but I won't be traveling with that mount 😅
