 What are the differences between the CGEM and CGEM DX mounts?
Answer

The CGEM DX mount differs from the CGEM:

 

1)  The CGEM DX has a 1-1/4” counterweight shaft versus ¾” and correspondingly bigger counterweights.

 

2)  The CGEM DX has a heavier, bigger tripod. It uses the same tripod as the CGE Pro.

 

3)  The CGEM DX has an adapter bell to hold heavier payloads on the tripod.

The two mounts use the same motors, motor boards and the same gear box.
