PRO Titan vs. Atlas question

[Mariano Costa]

Dear all.

 

I was wondering - if I`m not mistaken then the Titan Arm weighs less with just two canisters than an Atlas with two. But did anyone with experience with both arms felt a significant difference in performance with the Titan in this configuration?

[William Demeritt]

I believe the 4 canister arm is in fact lighter than the 2 canister arm. I've down both a lot, and can barely tell a difference between the two. The 4 canister arm is definitely a larger profile, which can become cumbersome over time, even though it weighs less.

[Brian Freesh]

Yes, Titan with 2 canisters is lighter than Atlas with 2 canisters. Pro only sells Gray canisters with the Atlas arm, so you'd have to figure out another way to get them for a Titan, the lift capacity with just 2 blacks won't cut it. The profile of a Titan may be a bit larger, but the footprint is theoretically a bit smaller, because it's a shorter arm. Atlas has a bit more boom range because of this.

 

Both fantastic arms.

Now that solves the mystery regarding the difference in weight, thanks!

 

Now about the performance, would anyone actually recommend working with the titan in a two canister configuration or are there any drawbacks like an undesirable force curve or so?

The solid bones on the atlas I thought weighed a few ounces more so the difference is the chassis...but we are not talking about a noticeable weight.

Ron is correct. I own both arms and prefer the Atlas when using two springs because it just seems smaller.
