Based on your description, this tripod has a relatively large base, which can cause physical interference when using the S50 in EQ mode—especially at higher latitude angles—where the corners of the S50 may bump into the tripod base during rotation. This situation may actually be a bit more challenging than with the official TH10 + TC20 combination.
One possible solution is to add an extension column between the tripod and the head to raise the height of the S50, helping to avoid interference. However, please note that the height of the extension column must be at least equal to the distance from the bottom of the S50 to its rotation center (as shown in the diagram) to ensure clearance.
That said, raising the center of gravity will reduce overall stability and increase the risk of tipping over, especially during outdoor use. We recommend adding counterweights or other safety measures if you choose this setup.
