My photo shows it with a Vixen SP/SP-DX CW shaft, which I believe is the same as the GP/GP-DX CW shaft.

EDIT: On our uncalibrated bathroom scales it weighs is at just under 8kgs.
That might be perfect. Let me know when you’re keen for that session with the 152mm and perhaps we can test it. This week is going to be clear from Monday night onwards I believe.
