HEQ5 is an EQ6 shrink down. It has no link to CG5/EQ4/EQ5 design.
EQ6 IMHO has quite a few design advantages over CG5/EQ4/EQ5.
The junior is a scaled version of EQ6 to make it lighter (some like this easier grab-n-go idea) but with less load carrying capability.
I think HEQ5's tripod steel tube diameter might be too small, which does not go together with the name HEQ5. Hopefully factory will correct it.
P.S. price is dependent to product volume.
My statement is based on technical merit, not price/performance consumer-report style scoring.
Clear Skies!
