wow, did'nt realize tubes flexed so much. nice and simple test. would you know what the weight of the camera is?
i'm guessing it would flex a bit less when the camera is in the focuser as the load would be distributed across various points along the drawtube and there would be less torque at the top end of the focuser, for this test it is concentrated at the top edge of the focuser.
