Maximum weight for EQ6-R pro for fotography ?

[Francis Sneyers]

The manuel says 20 kg is the maximum load. Has anyone some experience if this is really the case ?

I read a comment of someone who said that 12 kg is the maximum weight for photography….

The recommended payload for a mount when imaging is usually around 66% the maximum payload.

Thank you Peter, for your answer. The seller (Robtics in Holland) claims that the EQ6-Rpro will perform very good for Photography till 18 kg load. So this is for me not easy to decide.

It would be great if anyone really uses that mount for photography with 18 kg load and is happy with it...
