Then 65 pound for CGE.....
65 = 1. tube + CWs? or
2. ONLY tube & other necessories?
2. ONLY tube & other necessories?
That's for visual use, though. For imaging, most folks would derate it to 22kg or so. With the Japanese mounts (and with other premium brands) the stated load is usable for imaging so derating is not necessary.
Agreed, but with the sole exception that you must use the Japanese sourced ratings in the case of Vixen, and NOT the importer: Vixen Optics! (because of the CW "counting issue")...

Thank you Bowmnoreman & other friends!
Last night I made an experiment on my EQ-2 made in China 10 years ago~~ it looks good, yes! just like those you have told me, "careful and perfect balance is so important!" After a good balance, the mount works so fluently & smoothly~~  And I add some lubrecant between the worm gear and other gears. There is hardly any vibrance,you know, I have no motor driver, I drive the mount by my hand~~
my newt is 114--900,its weight is 3kg. then I put these things onto it:
1.)70--350 refractor for guiding + 9mm guiding lens + a ring. about 2kg
2.)Nikon FA body + teleconveror + eyepiece
I just wanted to carry out this experiment on eq-2, if this little mount can perform well, then I think that CGE will be much better~~
Just wait for some time, I will put some photoes here. Hope all friends give me helpful advice~~~
