what do you mean by base ballast?
Sand bags, base weight, tie downs, rigging, etc.
Counterbancing, IS NOT the same as base ballast. Base ballast lowers stand COG (center of gravity) and increases overall stability of the system. Counterbalance should be used only as an offset to weight being supported, mainly because it raises COG and is not centered on the support axis.
Good luck.
