Got my HH mount about a week ago and have been really enjoying it so far. HH works great for astronomy but I was also really interested in using it for backyard bird photography. The ability to fine-tune the axis friction with the lever clamps has been of a game-changer for me. Minor changes in balance caused by re-focusing can be dialed in instantly with a nudge on the clamps. HH goes where I point it and then stays there. Very happy so far!
Not the first person on the forums to pair the ZS61 with the HH but will post a picture anyway in case it helps others. I remove the handle when using the camera (Canon D60a). The handle fits in the "stowed" position but still interfered with the shutter button and front selection wheel.

Re: W.O. ZS61 on HH bird photography
Thanks for sharing the view of your photography setup. It is very handsome, indeed. And I really appreciate you sharing one of your birding photos. There is a birding section of the User Group -- and I think it would be really neat if you shared your birding photos on a regular basis in that section.
