Knowing engineering a bit, I can suggest mounting the DSLR and balancing the OTA with some weights if possible.
It's never going to be a great platform - but keeping the rig tremble free and not on a deck for instance will help.
If you're going to be dong a lot of piggyback stuff, I'd suggest getting a scope with steel gears, I think the LS is equipped with nylon gears.
A single fork arm is prone to vibration and too much weight on the bearings will make it lumpy I'd guess.
