HEQ5 Pro DSLR Balancing

Hi
I'm waiting for my HEQ5-Pro and have a question about balancing it with my DSLR and telephoto lenses. I'll not be using a scope for some time and am interested if anyone can offer any tips regarding balancing with a full frame dslr and 150 2.0 prime and 200mm 2.8 lenses?
Can it be done with no counterweights or 1 counterweight high up or do I need a lighter counterweight than the 5Kg units supplied?

Any and all advice appreciated as I've only used the Ioptron SkyTracker for long exposures before and this is a bit of a learning curve for me. Done plenty of study and watched video's on balancing with a scope but cannot find anything for balancing with DSLR and telephoto lens only!
Regards
GarP
