I’ve used my full compliment of TV Powermates for both planetary imaging and visual observing. I have Barlow’s as well but rarely use them in favour of PM’s
The TV T ring adapters fit most Astro cameras ( ZWO ) direct and DSLR’s with a T ring
For planetary when using the 4 x Powermate and 5 x Powermate I have to use a 35mm extension adapter to achieve focus , the combo stack with camera hanging out of the focuser in my Newt is still fairly rigid, no issues
For visual, Powermates are excellent for both DSO and planetary observing ( 12” Goto dob )I also have a large collection of TV eye pieces including Delos , Panoptic, Ethos and Apollo 11
Once you’ve used TV PM’s for a number of years for both forms of Astronomy you be hesitant to go back to a Barlow
Cheers
