I haven't (yet) myself, but all that is needed is basically a 90° L-bracket to fit a Losmandy saddle. I am told there are other, less expensive options, but Marcus's brackets do look great.., Best., bsdsgl84

Hello Derek, Pragmatically, I guess what I have in mind is something along the lines of the HH's Balance Trimmer, which (due it its clever angle set) in itself isn't as pronounced. If attachable to the lower base objective end of the saddle, so that it can fold in (towards the Alt center axis) when not needed and out when it is would be great, but really might be overkill.., Hope I explained that okay., Thanks, otherwise.., bsdsgl84

Hello, Thanks for that.., Hopefully it won't amount to just a random pole sticking out the front with a weight attached to it., Best., bsdsgl84

Hello, This is what I would expect as well., No surprise here.., Have you tried mounting the OTA on the opposite end? Also, If at all possible, set up an afocal-mounted camera (a smartphone will work as well) and record the view during dampening and send that off to the vendor for review.., Hope that helps - best of luck.., Best., bsdsgl84

Thanks for posting.., I was curious to see what would eventually come of this - and I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed, really. I would have much preferred the counterweighting to be based at the saddle centre or at the front like you said, but I guess it comes down to preference.., Still - its good to see responses to customer feedback nevertheless!

Nice!

Thanks, @johninderby And if its not too much / early - any pricing guidance? bsdsgl84

Appears to be a thoughtfully implemented Losmandy-derived (inspired?) design.., Any developments / changes to suggested height options? bsdsgl84

+1 for 6" - for the same reasons as above as far as my TMB-Design LZOS 152 f/8 is concerned. I'm also curious about the changes in weight(s) x height(s) x payload(s) effects on moment arm dynamics as well., bsdsgl84

There is separate thread covering the AZ75 mount - maybe ask there? bsdsgl84

Any updates on the pillar extension for the Rowan AZ100 that got mentioned some time ago? bsdsgl84

Ahh - I see, thanks.., bsdsgl84
