Thanks Karl, if your OTA and camera weigh the same as mine, you'll end up having to add a bit more counter weight to balance it properly. The two counter weights that came with the mount weren't heavy enough. I added a 1.25 kg plate used on a dumbbell which I got from a sports store, balanced it nicely!

Thanks Gavin, I tried not to oversaturate the colours for a more natural look.
