I have the HEQ5 with a Skywatcher 8" f/5, and can say that 9kg [ his 4 plus another 5] would not be enough, assuming that his OTA weighs pretty much the same as mine. I have to have my shaft fully extended with my two 5kg weights, and add another 1kg weight if adding
any accessory other than my DSLR. The OTA itself weighs 9.5kg.
