That's interesting Tony, I was just on Skywatcher's website & they seem to claim 10kg payload capacity for HEQ5 Pro & 15kg (Astrophotography) payload capacity for AZ-EQ5 on either EQ 5 Tripod or Pier/tripod setup...

This seems to suggest Skywatcher think this is a heavier weight mount, do you not agree? Honest question mate... It's one of the options I'm considering to replace my CG5 if it dies or.... I find money..
