Yeah, but if all he wants is a piggyback travel mount, that one looks
interestings. In fact, I recall someone posting here a while back
saying they were going to get one and report back....
Okay, I'm obsessed, too and just acquired an older MI-250. But I
spent 1-1/2 years with a CG-5 and it took some pretty nice piggy back
shots---look at my website to check my claim.
In short, if you don't have the money for a "real" mount, buy what you
can, BUT keep in mind that if the bug has really caught you, you will
not be satisfied with the cheaper mount.
