Hi Grant

I have a HEQ5Pro mount. Luke at Lee Andrew's told me that the max carrying weight is specified as 14KG. I currently load it with 12.5Kg all up.
This works fine but I found that I had to add a third weight on the balance arm to achieve decent balance. Nice way that the balance rod can be retracted up the mount but it means that it is pretty short. I have seen
on other threads where some have extended this rod to give better leverage for the balance weights.

Cheers Peter
