i use the 190 with my ATS80hd and the plate, a fantastic light weight setup with nothing working loose at any time. i use it for watching raptors so a lot of sitting down which suits me fine. i wouldnt like to sea watch in a gale with it but horses for courses. i go light weight, wouldnt dream of taking aladder and if there was that many people watching i wouldnt go anyway. i have a heavy tripod as i call it (manfrotto 200) for stand up steady work but find even this will vibrate when digiscoping so you have to pick you picture taking days & find a good spot pref out of the wind.
