Sky-Watcher White Counterweight for EQ5, HEQ5 & EQ6 (5 kg)

More balance, instantly more stability

The Skywatcher Counterweight of 5.1 kg gives your mount just the extra support it needs. Your telescope stays balanced, so your image remains calm and sharp. You immediately notice this when using heavy eyepieces or accessories. Less vibration. Less fuss. More focus on what you see.The counterweight slides smoothly onto the rod and clamps securely. You twist it closed and it stays perfectly in place. So your mount moves more fluidly and the whole setup feels more stable.

Reliable balance for every session

The white surface fits nicely with most mounts and is easy to keep clean. The 5.1 kg gives enough back pressure for different telescopes and configurations. As a result, you need to correct less while aiming or tracking. You look relaxed without your mount constantly “walking away.”.
