410-compatible light mount?

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

hi richII,
thanks for the kind offer. I can't seem to find the grottos website. do you have the link?
i do fear the word "carbon fibre" as I noticed all the carbon fibre tripods at Cathay are above S$350! also, I prefer the 410 head as opposed to the handle-type head as I need precise adjustments...
Sorry I spelt wrongly. Its at http://www.giottos.com/

See my comments on the 410 in your other post on the porta mount.

(I sold my ex-190 D tripod away for $60!) but the 190D is still too heavy for my preference....(I can hear rlow and cc talking about how "light" these tripods are! )
I think the 190D is relatively light but still a bit flimsy for me. Like VinSnr, I would rather have a slightly heavier tripod which is more stable for comfortable & steady astronomical observations.
