G11 weights

I have received my G11 with Gemini but need to ask will I need any extra weights on top of the standard 21pound they give you...you guys know what I have.

A C11 with the 80ED piggypack.

I noticed Louie has the same set up and he needs extra weight.

I would like to know so I can order or atleast get my order into Mick Pinner.

I find it a bit stupid when they rate a mount for a certain weight but dont supply you with enough counter weight to do the job...the EQ6 was the same.....they give you 2 weights...I needed 4.

Any ides on how much extra counter weight I should look at.

Does anyone have any spare's???????

And mick do you have any others like the one you did Bird....or was it just a 1 off.
