Peter,
Here are some of the mods I've made.
The dew shield is made out of H.I.P.S - High Impact Polystyrene Sheet.
With the Shield, 9x50 finder, Shroud, I have to use 2.5kg weight on the upper part of the bottom tube and 1.25kg on the under side.
The scope is balanced almost perfectly, I just use the alt brake to steady the scope for viewing.
For a more elegant weight system go to Farpoints site, they have just started production of these weights.
