I realize I'm bumping up an old thread, but I want to relate my experience with the HEQ5 Pro mount. For me it is fine with a 4" refractor, cameras, etc, but I just got a TEC140 which weights around 9.5 kg with a finder, and more with 2" diagonals, etc. Even without a CCD camera I felt the mount was struggling for visual work. In fact after trying this combination 2x I've decided not to try again and to just be patient until my new mount arrives. It's not worth destroying the gearing!
