With the EQ5 you may not need to take the counter weights. Although a couple of cameras and lenses wll add up to a few kg on the head it will probably cope with it easily without. The stabilty of the bigger mount is a plus for sure and if you have to you might be able to jury rig a weight at the end of the extended shaft (which might be enough counter weight in itself ) Borrow a G Cramp or similar. Saves on baggage weight.
