I have a pair of Saxon Binoviewers and they are pretty weighty (as heavy if not heavier than a BIG nagler I would say at a guess).

A couple of friends have ETX 90s and I'd hate to try binoviewers on them without having some sort of counterweight on the other end of the scope. I've not seen the ETX125s in real life so I don't know how robust they are but it is definately something to consider. Last thing you want to do is have your scope too far out of balance and damage your gears (which I "think" are plastic), or burn a motor out because it is under too much strain.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase your ETX from. If from Bintel, then I'd be giving them a call and asking their advice. That would be the safest way
