Steven,

Darn right, it should be able to balance a Z1. My V1 balances pretty well (almost perfectly!) on my Pro-6HDV (aka 503HDV with a paint job) at counterbalance setting 2 or 3 depending on what it's loaded up with.

Tilt friction is a bit feeble, I'll admit. But mine balances with tilt friction turned off completely.
