I own the Orion Skyview Pro EQ mount and a telescope which weighs in at around 20 pounds when you add a 2" wide-angle eyepiece. The mount came with a 7.5 lb and a 4 lb counterweight, but for my telescope on this mount, I use three 7.5 lb weights snug against the top of the weight bar, which makes a close to perfect ballance. I don't use the 4 lb weight. This are good weights that work like you would expect.

The Orion 7.5 Lbs Counterweight is useful for heavier telescopes and astrophotographic setups where an extra counterweight may be needed. This counterweight is designed for use with the SkyView Pro Equatorial Mount.
