Guide scope fitted - how to balance?

OK - I've fitted the 80mm f/11 refractor as a guide scope, and have the ToUcam fitted to the end.

Given the weight (not huge, but still noticeable) how should I go about balancing the whole unit? I guess that it has to be done from underneath - and it should balance along the Dec axis as best it can with the clutch disengaged. Can I ask how do most people do this?
