Mount - Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi 

Scope - William Optics v2 RedCat 51

Camera - ZWO ASI 2600MC-Pro

Guide Scope - William Optics 50mm Slide-base Uniguide scope 

Guide Camera - ZWO ASI 120MM Mini USB 2.0 Mono Camera

As best I recall the GTi mounts are quoted as 5Kg load, and scope, camera and guide scope and camera would seem to come very close to that suggested limit. Especially as for imaging it is best to reduce the actual load by 25-30% and you will have other items besides the bare equipment weight - cables and items. And of course potential future additions.
