Anyone out there used a micro pan head with an ATX 85? Trying to find some first hand experience that can tell me if the 85 is too much for the micro and I need to go ahead size up.
 
Jim White is really pushing it with the STX 95 so I don’t see this being by much better.

Their web site states up to 65mm.
 
The regular pan head would be the minimum in my book for a scope that size, micro too small. Will it work? Yes, but wouldn’t be my choice.
 
I have the fluid head for a Leica 82. It seemed big at first but the more I use it the more I like it. I also thought it cost a lot but the more I handle it the more I appreciate the build quality. Buy once cry twice.
 
I've used the micro w/an ATX and 65mm. That is good but any bigger glass I would want a bigger head.
I ended up getting the fluid head to go with a bigger objective. It is big but I like it too. My son will get the micro and I'll use the fluid this year.
