Get more control over your mount<\/strong>
The iOptron HEM27 counterweight bar<\/strong> is specially designed for your HEM27 mount. With the extensions you increase the leverage of the counterweight. Thus, you achieve a large effect with a relatively small weight. Your setup remains stable and moving smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smart design for easy balancing<\/strong>
The rod has a diameter of 20 mm and a standard M16-2 thread. This makes mounting fast and reliable. You have more maneuvering room to perfectly balance your telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable and sturdy<\/strong>
Made of robust material. The rod remains securely in place even with heavy counterweights. So you can concentrate on observing or photographing without worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
