Minitower Pro Solar Tracking Altitude drift?

Hi all,

I have started using the Minitower Pro again as it is just easier to move around than the AZEQ6GT. Working well with the Moon and Planets and even some deepsky with a 80mm Scope, now with my little Coronado Solar Scope tracks fine in Azimuth but seems to drift in elevation , checked everything seems tight so no obvious slippage. I am doing a basic slew to Sun then sync on target.

I am using the extra vixen saddle with a 90deg camera bracket on the weight side no weights on it. I have the Losmandy saddle fitted on the other side.
It is slightly unbalanced but would have thought for such a small scope it wouldn't matter?

Appreciate any ideas-
Cliff
