I have rigged a bungee cord from the base cross piece to the bottom rear of my Lightbridge. This gives a good long length for a gentle and progressive increase in tension as the scope is depressed, something that Is necessary because of the changing leverage moment. The bungee length is adjustable to allow for very heavy eyepieces.

And, it is not heavy!
