Alt/Az Mounts and stability

I am using a ED120 X 900 on the Bintel Skyview mount, seems to handle it no worries. There is the problem of vibration which does spoil the view at the eyepiece you need just a hand touch to steady it.
I guess this is issue when using that length tube on these style of mounts. is there a way to eliminate the vibration ? The Porta Mount 2 would also have the same issue with that tube? I know they are sturdier, but i don't think that is the problem here,the Bintel seems to hold it just fine, you can move it with one finger any direction no flexing.

Any ideas or help

cheers

Dennis
