EP's and Balancing


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to balance the scope with the different weights of EP's and Camera, Pentax XF 8.5mm is 7.4 ounces, Pentax XW 5mm is 14.8 ounces and a Canon 1100D 20 ounces, that's quite a bit of difference so does a scope that uses a light weight EP to find objects then maybe use a Camera to take images need counter weights or should it be set for the Camera in the first place....

I balance for the camera from the off, never had any set-up topple over yet because I replaced the camera with an EP for target acquisition (though I do that less nowadays anyway with GOTO.)

Rgr, its not the worry of it toppling over just the weight difference when set-up for the Camera and then change to a Web Cam, Saturn went from centered on the laptop screen to the bottom while it took 1000 frames, i don't think there's any drift with EP's just wondered if this has happened to other people and a cure if there is one.
