The added advantage of this particular mount is that I did a belt mod earlier this year so with just a little luck, I am hoping to smooth out a fair amount of the backlash you usually see in a HEQ5.
I’ll only be doing planetary with this rig for a couple of months yet so I won’t be testing that theory for a while.
