Losmandy Titan, HGM Titan, HGM-150, HGM-100--I'm confused!
There seem be to a bunch of confusingly named large Losmandy mounts. I
build caster assemblies to let you roll Losmandy mounts, and now that I am beginning to get orders from owners of the bigger mounts, I am increasingly confused. One customer had a Losmandy Titan--a few years old. It had legs that were 2.77" inside diameter, and much like an overgrown G-11--a tube that is cut at a 30 degree angle where it meets the ground. Another customer had a Losmandy HGM-150. The legs were 2.76" inside diameter--but instead of just a 30 degree angle where the tube meets the ground, there was a circular flange at the end of the tube, with three threaded bolt holes in the edges of the flange. Now, Losmandy is selling something called the HGM Titan. Scott Losmandy tells me that the inside diameter of the legs is 3.25". Pictures that I have seen look like a larger version of the G-11. Is there a history of the big Losmandy mounts out there? Even better--if you have one of these mounts, can you send me a photograph and micrometer measurement of the interior of the leg? Clayton E.

ebay item 7577527261 is for a GM 150 and you can see why the HGM-150
had the three holes drilled into the tube ends.... it wears shoes HGM is Hollywood General Machining, maker of Losmandy gear. I am sure the Titan and the newer name for it HGM-Titan don't mean much, it sounds like Scott just upgraded to the new Super Tripod. So you've got 5 tripods to deal with... GM8, G11 (old Titan), HGM-150, HGM-200, and the new HGM-Titan tripod |

I just thought I'd mention that my older G-11, which has a non
height-adjustable tripod, has feet. Yet another variation to take into account. -- Joe Bergeron http://www.joebergeron.com |
