Conclusions:

• The homogeneous distances to the galaxies in the CVn I Cloud were determined using advanced TRGB method.

• We clarify the spatial structure: the cloud is divided on the core and foreground outskirt. What’s farther?

• The dynamical mass of the CVn I Cloud much the same as masses of groups like Local Group.
