TC40 Wight Bag

Jimcummings219

What is the maximum weight that can be placed in the TC40 weight bag? I'm using a TC40 tripod with an AM3 mount. My current scope is a small 60mm refractor and I am considering going with a larger 102mm refractor that will way about 13 lbs with camera, guide scope and other accessories. I know this is way below the max load for the AM3 but I want to place weight in the weight bag for added security to prevent tipping over.
Thanks
Jim

Jimcummings219 for your setup it will not be an issue even if the weight bag was empty. I use a 25lb scope and just have 10lb of weight in the bag and it is nowhere near being unstable at any position. I have a counterweight but no need to use that either.
