the current eq6 has the ability to put the mount head on to the tripod in a "back the front" placement so that the position of the legs is reversed, - this clears the weights for the tropics.
The only change is that you reposition the positioning pin on the top of the tripod to the provided hole on other side of the tripod top.
It may be possible to do this with your eq5. If not, it would be fairly simple to put a bolt through to use as the positioning pin.
