Overloading CG5GT mount?

Hi everyone I currently have a C8 on a CG5GT mount and I was thinking of getting a carbon fiber ED80 To mount on top for visual and imaging using a cannon eos 1100d, which is a pretty light DSLR.
Can anyone tell me if this would be overloading the mount? I have done some weighing and rough calculations, including accessories and it looks like it would be at 70% of the mounts total capacity.

Has anyone done anything similar? Would I be over loading the mount? Because I'm still after accuracy after doing this. I would like to keep this mount because anything with higher capacity is getting pretty big and harder to transport.

Thanks jas
