The G-11 is nowhere near as stable at 60# than an AP900 is at the same 
weight.  Nor will it track near as well.  The G-11 IMO is really engineered
more for a 35# - 40# payload photographically.  The 60# rating is advertising.
Yes, it will carry that load without anything breaking, but you aren't going
to get a high percentage of good images.
