I have only seen this with the Newtonian, with my camera setup all has been fine. Thats why I was wondering if I am overloading it, or if simply adding more counterweight will fix this.

I have trouble imagining how this might occur. Before I attempt a diagnosis, let me ask one more question. Does your Dec axis also spin around in the same way?
i am beginning to wonder whether the worm gears or the spur gears are adequately tightened.
My instinct is to suggest you contact a local IIS member and ask them to take a look.
