With most high quality (typically this means expensive!) mounts the payload number in the specs will be conservative and you may even be able to exceed it for imaging, especially if your scope is compact.
With lower quality/cost mounts you may find that tracking performance is OK for visual use but inadequate for imaging unless you stay well below the quoted maximum payload.
Just something to be aware of... It's good to get feedback from owners of the mount you're looking at.
Cheers,
Rick.
