Hi,
Use the Swarovski 65HD, with the DCA and Sony W70 for digiscoping.
This is mounted on the Manfrotto 701RC2. This setup is quite back heavy, even with the sliding plate on the 701RC2 pushed all the way forward. I suspect this is because the fixed spring in the head is set to counteract the more usual front heavy camera setup.
I would like to know if there is some way to better balance this setup. The Manfrotto sliding plate is quite heavy and the Swarovski balance rail will not fit my head. This head does not appear to accommodate the long sliding plates that I have used on other heads. Otherwise it is a great head and I would like to solve this problem, preferably without adding much weight.
