Extension for the draw bar V's more weight.
Hi Guys.
Could someone explain the physics of extending the counterweight shaft on an GEM as opposed to adding more weight. This is a stupid question but...
Is extending the shaft a way of cheating the weight restrictions of a mount or is it the same as adding more weight, I would imagine it is the same as adding more weight.
Technically speaking you have the same weight on the mount but increasing the distance increases the strain on the motor because the weight is at a greater distance. Do I have this right?
The reason I ask is that I have ordered an extension tube from oneofone here on the forum. I ordered it because this means I don’t have to carry as much weight around when setting up but just wanted to clarify.
Thanks
Sandy
