In regard to pay load. I wonder how they actually rate it. 17Kgs of telescopes would require close to 17Kgs to balance it on the limited counterweight shaft. The 10.2Kgs I was supplied with would barely do it, making the all up weight 42Kgs. I would not be able to move that very far fully assembled.
The inertia created by a larger newtonian, guide scope, counterweights etc would be difficult to control for accurate guiding on such a light mount, even in perfect conditions.
