[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 749805, member: 301161"] Only about 1 kilo, and anyway it's not as if a dish bolted to a DiSEqC motor is balanced. A lot of the weight is stuck out in front of the bearing axis and as the motor turns towards the ends of the arc gravity really shows itself. If you have ever set up a big dish on a polar mount you'll know what I mean. When you push the dish up the arc manually you have to push like mad near the ends of the arc, and where it crosses the meridian it is pretty unstable, trying to fall one way and then the other. If anything this is acting as a counter balance. Anything that is inclined and has feeds starting with 2ºE, although that does appear as strong here as people in northern Europe have suggested.
