An interested buyer contacted me asking me the maximum weight this can handle? He said he has a 6" Newtonian with Binoviewers.

Can anyone help me?

I think that is too much weight. I use an EQ-2 with a 4.5" f8 reflector, and it needs a small bar extension with the existing weight to balance properly. I would guess that he/she really needs to look to at least an EQ-3. According to my Orion manual, maximum load "about 10 lbs" for the EQ-2
