Strong balance for smoother movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher 5 kg counterweight kit helps keep your mount balanced. You notice it immediately: your telescope moves more fluidly, follows more quietly and remains stable when you use heavier accessories. This way, you get more out of your scope without making operation more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More control with extra carrying capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you add a camera, dew hood, 2\u2033 zenith mirror or Tele-Extender, the center of gravity of your setup shifts. This counterweight brings that balance back. You move your telescope lightly and smoothly so you can track objects easily. You'll see less vibration and get a quieter image, even at higher magnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for heavier optics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you use a larger telescope tube or a camera that weighs a bit more, you will need additional counterweight. This 5 kg set increases the effective carrying capacity of your mount. So you don't have to buy a heavier tripod or a new mount right away. The balance stays nicely centered, so your mount always works in its comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete set, ready to use immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You get everything you need: the counterweight itself, threaded counterweight bar and extensions for extra leverage. You assemble everything easily. Within minutes, your setup will be more stable than ever and you'll be ready to observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For whom this is perfect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose this kit when you want to upgrade your Skywatcher mount for heavier accessories. You want a more stable image, smoother motion and more control without the hassle. This counterweight gives you exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
