Heaviest tested load on StarAdventurer GTI

Wondering who has pushed the limits of the payload of the new mount?

Was considering getting one and mounting my 80APO rig but it will be pushing 6kgs.
Will be guiding with an ASIAIR pro.

Thoughts?

I have an evolux 82ed with asiair, eaf, 2600mcp, autoguiding and its just over 5kg. It's fine in no wind but gets knocked quite a bit from even a small breeze. I get between .8-2sec depending on where it is pointed. Also I got a second counterweight.

Tried just on 5kg when I had mine (ASKAR FRA400, 2600MC, AA+, small guiding setup). No idea whether it was the weight, or quality of the mount (guessing it's the latter) but I never was successful with it.
