I have looked at this thread a few times and there are two main points of view. What is the ultimate capacity of an EQ6 and what is the practical capacity.
While I have not used an EQ6 I have seen plenty of them and I would expect with careful arrangement I could get at least 50kgs on one and still have it work. However I would not like to put more than 10kgs on one and expect it to perform like a much heavier mount.
To use an analagy. I once towed a ton of sand in a trailer that was designed for a maximum load of 10cwt (springs bottomed out), with an Austin A30. Yes it could be done but it was quite a strain on everything.
If you have photography in mind don't overload an EQ6 with a 12" OTA. You will have difficulty in getting good stable results. If you must have a 12" OTA save up for something not less than a Titan. Otherwise get something much lighter
