Would this rig be too front heavy for the gimbal?

Hello,

I know that testing out is in theory much easier, but I don't have access to the equipment until the day of the shoot and therefore was wondering if people here who have used the Ronin-S could judge whether the camera rig is going to fit on the Ronin-S or if further adjustments (maybe through added weights) is necessary.

The setup is:
Sony A7 III (650g / 1.43lb)
Sony 85mm 1.4 (820g / 1.81lb)
Tilta 4x4 Mattebox Lightweight (908g / 2.00lb)
and of course, added weight through the base plate and 15mm rods

Do you think that I can move the camera back far enough to compensate for the way to heavy mattebox?

I know this is kind of a guessing game, but other peoples judgment, of people who actually used the gimbal before, would really help me a lot here.

Thanks,

Luca

We found the mattbox too cumbersome to use with the ronin s. You can balance it with added weights or a tablet, but too heavy to hand hold comfortably and limited use.
