That doesn't tell me much. If it's the same as the Heavy Duty tripod (with the massive cast alloy spreader + folding low level spreader) that came with my CPC800, and also supplied with the CPC925 & CPC1100, the suggestion that it needs extra stabilisation, to be frank, makes me fall on the floor laughing.
The single arm Evolution mount is another matter. Read the second review of the C9.25 Evolution on the FLO site. That might be your problem.
Oh dear, I hope you didn’t hurt yourself falling to the floor laughing Geoff.
Please don’t try to help as you come across as a bit irritated by my problem.
All the info is in the thread. But please don’t bother yourself.

Which tripod do you have?
The one that comes with the Evolution 8”Edge hd.

So I have ordered a dovetail rail I got to thinking that it might be wise to add some weight under the tripod.
I searched FLO and RVO for “tripod hammock” but no luck, does anyone know what those hammock things that hang under the tripod are called?

Doh!
I didn’t see the second hole on the existing rail, I feel so stupid.thanks for helping an idiot 👍😂

So this thread seems to have been hijacked by people who whilst trying to be helpful have not any experience in extending the dovetail.
I have a picture (see attached) of an extended dovetail, but have been unable to contact the guy who’s rig is pictured for advice on how he attached the ADM rail.I also include a picture of my setup which serves me well apart from the clearance problem, which this guy has solved.
The advice I am seeking is how to attach the ADM rail as in pic one.
I am aware thanks very much of the benefits and disavantages of the different types of mount.

So as per title I wondered if anyone had any experience extending the dovetail to move OTA about 50mm further forward?

thats cracking, i really need to pull my finger out and spend some time learning imaging, is there much cropping on that image?
The original (first pic) is an uncropped .jpg as it came out of the s50.

So I bought one and finally got clear sky
To address some earlier negative comments, I had fun last night watching the image stack.
The image attached, was a one hour stack of IC434, Cropped, rotated and adjusted in OSX Photos.
Great fun and as it was 3 degrees below zero last night the fact I could do all this on my IPad sitting in the warm by the fire.
