Mokusatsu,
The problem with the AZ/EQ5 is that sticking a pier on top of a very squat tripod seriously weakens the mount - it is flimsy.
It suggests Skywatcher really lost the plot in comparison to the isostatic altaz mounts which are far stiffer.
If are really determined buy the AZ-EQ6, not the AZ/EQ5.
