It is pretty much balanced, however is approx 25-26 kg's to much for the G11 to handle effectively. 
All the weight is distributed across the top of the double clamshell tube holders, which in turn are attached to a proper mounting plate, and clamped to the mount, nothing is attached to the main scope or any other part of the tube assemblies .
I am just a bit concerned, that it maybe to much for the motors, however they are Maxxon Motors.
I would like to here from other members who have similar set-up's and how much they carry on their mounts.
Thank You.

Hi Leon,
It is OK I would say. Here is what I just loaded on my G11
