I understand what you are trying to do re:balance but keep in mind the polarie is designed for a 2kg load only. I suspect its internal mechanism and gearing are built accordingly. If you increase the distance of any load from the axis of rotation, balanced or not you introduce the potential for very important leverage. I'm just saying to be cautious as not to damage the unit. In contrast the Losmandy star lapse looks like a cut down GM8 so I suspect it's a lot more sturdy.
