Trim weights

Please advise where to position trim weight pockets on cambands- both on top ,one on each band or both on the bottom?
I have a H Eclipse with ali BP and weighted STA but wish to remove abit more weight off the weight belt and have recently obtained some H trim pockets.
Cheers

there is no right answer, it depends where you need the weight. only way is to suck it and see. if you're head down, then get the weight lower down your rig and vice versa.

Possibly be easier to swap the ali plate for a steel one. Then the weight will be a bit more central.

Why intent on getting the weight off the belt? You need what lead you need and if you are in trim with it on the belt i can't see how you'd stay in trim when moving it to a cam band. That might send you head heavy.
