Question A question of balance
When balancing an eq mount is it better to have more weight but nearer the head, less weight towards the end of the shaft, or split the difference in the middle of the shaft ?

Thanks
Chris

any movement will dampen quicker with the weight nearer the head although the weight has to be larger.
