I was having issues getting my DEC axis to balance correctly due to having EAF and power boxes on one side of my scope setup. This counterweight system was the absolute solution to those issues and now the DEC axis can be fully balanced without having to “jerry rig” your setup to achieve focus. The system gives you a lot of flexibility to address heavier or lighter imbalance issues that you might experience with various setups. Having the ability to adjust the counterweight closer to or further away from the mounting plate allows almost any imbalance issues to be corrected quickly and easily.
