Will a compact side by side mount with DSLR give flexure issues?

Hi,

I am looking for a relative lightweight mounting system to setup an Orion Ultra Mini 30mm guide scope on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer along with an XYAZ head and DSLR. Teleskop Express has recommended a TS Optics guidemount, an 'ultra compact Vixen GP level dual mount'. https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop...nfo/p8315.html It's a side by side mounting system and I am worried about flexure issues as I have heard they can be prone to it. I only plan to use a DSLR or CCD with camera lens (up to 300mm) and an Orion xyaz head on it (not a telescope) on it along with the Orion guide scope. Would this dual mount (or a similar good quality product) likely give me issues with flexure? I know it could be harder to balance the mount. If this would likely not give flexure issues can anyone please recommend a good quality dual mount like this that I can get in Australia?

Thanks,
