I always thought the maximum weight was how much counterbalance you could have - so its approximately half of the total.
On my Vixen Atlux I removed the standard head and put a Losmandy TAK head on to give better grip - and on my C9.25 - the CG5 dovetail was the first to go - the 4" wide, 1/2 inch thick Losmandy C9.25 dovetail make the original look like a joke - which it is!
