cougar and warthog owners I need some advice

[BIGNEWY]

Hi all

 

Can anyone here who owns a Cougar and a warthog tell me if the thread on the cougar is the same as the warthog, and is the base about the same dimensions?

I remember attaching the cougar to a warthog some time back. as for footprint the warthog base is slightly larger though of course the cougar is thick ...housing the gimbals etc

The Warthog base has a Diameter of around 110mm and is about 65mm tall. The baseplate where it sits on is 270mm X 230mm. It's easy to unscrew the baseplate and make your own.

Cougar housing is 170mm X 170mm and 55mm tall. There is no Baseplate so reducing the footprint is hard to impossible.

thanks, I have an extension, and someone with a cougar had asked if it would fit theirs.

 

As long as the thread is the same I do not think it would be an issue, so thank you for the reply

I just saw this thread, must have overseen it before. I have a Cougar and bought a Warthog Extension for it. At the base everything works like charm. At the stick there must be a slight difference. When I wanted to tighten the nut of the Cougar stick to the extension I was not able to get it stiff. I still was able to rotate it, even though with a higher force. I was able to solve this by adding a paper washer (normally used at water pipes) and put it between the lower part of the stick and the nut of the stick (see attached picture).

 

Edit: A paper washer, because I needed to cut the "ring" to get it installed. Paper is flexible and made it easy, plastic would do it as well.

 

Now I have a Warthog as well I did not need to do anything. Everything was fine. Maybe the extension itself made the difference, it was a one I bought over ebay in Germany from a German provider. But I just wanted to highlight that there is a small difference. In my opinion its the length of the thread of the nut at the stick.

Hope this helps.
