Aahh,now that makes sense. I had been misled by another group where extension shafts were being used to reduce the weight needed and not 1 person condemned the idea at all.
Doing rough calculations I'll need 18.5 kgs at the end of a fully extended shaft using the dual mount, compared to 25kgs fully extended using the under and over setup. The weight needed to offset the guidescope is halved when using the dual mount.
How much weight can you hang of the bottom of these units?
Using those calcs above would 25kg on a 3/4 shaft be more acceptable than 20kg on a full shaft or is there a limit where too much counterweight creates other problems?
Thanks for the reply Mark
