I think it's your polar alignment still, not the weight. Are you using one or two stars to check your alignment? Remember you need to check a star low in the east (or west) and another star up near where the meridian and celestial equator meet.
With practice, drift alignment can be surprising fast. If you are taking 30 min images, drift alignment will be much faster for sure. I watch the star and as soon as I see it moving, I move the mount. No need to wait 5 minutes, then come back and check. If I see it move after 1 or 2 minutes, then I move it then.
