Interesting findings Matt. One thing that constantly crosses my mind is why these mounts need to have their clutches (metaphorically) spanner-tight whereas a G-11's can be left loose and still function smoothly and reliable as long as the payload is in perfect balance.
Is is just that your payload isn't in perfect balance on the DEC axis and you need the clutches locked so tight as to carry any imbalance? Can the backlash be effectively tuned out in them - or decreased to inconsequential amounts?
