Explore Scientific EXOS2 pmc-eight GOTO Mount

[m0pxs]

Does anyone know what the minimum payload is for this mount as I have a WO zenithstar61 a guide scope guiding camera and a dslr forming the imaging train (total payload is around 3.6Kg) but having looked at the Explore Scientific EXOS2 pmc-eight GOTO Mount I am concerned that I may not get it to balance as the cw are pretty big. Any users of this mount able to give me an indication ?

The issue is not unique to your mount. Slide the counterweight up the rod toward the mount.  If that's not sufficient, buy a smaller weight, or see if the mount simply ignores the imbalance.

I bought a smaller weight for my EQ-5 - I think the weight was intended for an EQ3-2.
