One thing to note, balancing an AZEQ6 is not as simple as it might be, due to the design of the clutches. If you balance the Dec in the way that is normally suggested it might still be out of balance.
If you balance it by rotating the RA til the counterweight shaft is horizontal and then release the Dec clutch, the clutches will stick, you need to rotate the RA until the head is counterweights high. I just re tried it with my kit (Orion Atlas, but same same) with it deliberately camera heavy, done the "Right" way it just sits there, move the RA an hour further and the camera heads for the floor.
It is just a pity there is no way to do the same thing on the RA axis.
