Instantly better balance for your mount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher Counterweight of 1.6 kg and 0.7 kg immediately helps your telescope work more stable. As soon as you place additional accessories - such as a camera, dew cap or 2\u2033 zenith mirror - the weight shifts forward. These counterweights bring that back into balance, keeping your mount moving smoothly.You notice it immediately. Your telescope vibrates less. Pointing feels lighter. Tracking stars is more precise. Everything stays calmer in focus, allowing you to observe more finely and longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smooth following and relaxed observation<\/font><\/font><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The counterweight slides securely onto the rod and stays exactly where you put it. This makes for more stable tracking, especially when looking at the same object for extended periods of time. You need less adjusting and can really focus your gaze on the image.The steel design feels solid and reliable. The combination of 1.6 kg and 0.7 kg makes it flexible: you adjust the balance of your Star Adventurer GTi exactly to your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
