Open Box: Used Celestron 22 Lbs Counterweight for CGX-L/CGE Pro/ CGEM DX Telescopes undefined

If the balance is off on one-side or the other, it can do damage to your OTA and setup, the motor gear, and/or may have issues with tracking accuracy. You can add additional counterweights to improve the responsiveness to the system by reducing the mass inertia, though you need to make sure you space out the counterweights along the shaft to reduce damage to your setup and that it is cost-effective and worth it for your telescope setup. This counterweight comes with a sturdy knurled knob locks to safely hold in place on the counterweight shaft. The counterweight is designed to fit 32mm counterweight shafts.

It's the exact same weight & shape as the original that cam with my AVX mount.

Exact copy of the original AVX weight

Superb counterweight construction. No sharp edges, stacks nicely with others, nylon anti-marring tightening lug. I line mine with thin flocking that avoids scratching the chrome plated dec shaft on the off sides of the tensioning lug. This works very well on my CGEM mounts and C11 SCT where I need three of these for balance. This fits other mounts with like dec shafts. See image as used on CGEM II.

ERGONOMIC COUNTERWEIGHT FITS MULTIPLE MOUNTS.

Great additional weight for our AVX setup when it?s in heavier configuration. Fast free shipping, arrived in perfect condition.

Great addition weight for heavier AVX setups.

Works on the sky watcher eq6-r pro mount no problem.

Eq6-r pro

What to say? It has one job and it's doing it very well. Fits perfectly.

Does exactly what it's supposed to.

It?s a weight. It?s the second counterweight for my scope setup and fits my AVX system.

Good weight

The Celestron 12lb counterweight worked perfectly on my AVX mount.

Celestron AVX Counterweight

The counterweight was exactly as advertised.   The most important thing was the way it was shipped.  Adorama double wrapped it in dense Styrofoam and then placed it in a box, inside a box.  The weight arrived still intact within the inner box even though the outer box was damaged.

Excellent Service and Attention to Shipping Detail

Arrived in good condition. But, it?s still a hunk of metal with a screw in it to hold it in place. So not much to say it works. The price was good so I would recommend.

Celestron counterweight

Heavy review.

What can I say?you need at least one counter weight and possibly two if you want to mount an OTA more than 30 lbs.

22lbs Counterweight

Gracias

It weighs 12 lbs and has a lock screw... oh yeah its black too! The only drawback was packaging. Need more clear tape to hold the box closed, the ups dork dropped it and the package was open when i got home. a couple of spots had scuffed off the black paint but a sharpie pen fixed that.

Heavy duty

I don't know... Haven't received my complete order

Incomplete order

Excellent condition. Arrived very well packed.

Good quality

It fits!!! I feel like Cinderella. It fit my mount perfectly and it came quickly. No longer do I need to jimmy-rig something to make my equipment balance.  Thrilled! Thank you!

Works perfectly with an Orion Sirius EQ-G

Great product and fast shipping. Hard to find. Highly recommended.

Great product!

Fits properly and snug on my AVX mount. Works as expected. With my 8” Newtonian and dslr, I needed this second counter weight to achieve balance.

Works great for attaining perfect balance on my avx mount.

Grabbed this after adding my guide scope to my 12 lb OTA, since I wanted to keep my finder scope on it also, and added another dovetail bar on top. Initially, I swapped the bar Orion sent me with my OTA with a Celestron all-in-one type, which was noticeably heavier. Immediately, I had balancing problems, and this was the perfect option to provide the right balance with room for a slightly heavier OTA.

The plastic insert under the screw, which touches the metal bar on the mount (mine is AVX) was actually better on this than the one on the OEM weight, which had come undone from the screw after unscrewing it a few times. I've not had any balancing problems since, and the CW is about 2/5's up the bar from the outer-most point, so there's plenty of room in either direction.

Perfect counterweight

Excellent Service from communication to on time delivery. 
Product is as described and performs as needed.

Great Service...

Looks just like the picture,  functions just like the one that comes with the AVX mount. Nice and simple.

Works just like you'd expect

I purchased a Celestron AVX from Adorama...still learning how to use it but seems easy. I mounted a GSO 8" cassegrain on it so needed an extra counterweight. Adorama had the best price in the industry! Perfect match for the one that came with the AVX and balances my GSO perfectly with a few pounds to spare. Incredibly fast shipping and a fabulous price. Go with Adorama all the way. And, if you need additional counterweights for your AVX or other mount...shop Adorama first!!!

GREAT PRICE FOR A GREAT COUNTERWEIGHT!

Celestron 11 lbs counterweight for CGEM was just what I needed to balance my cgx mount. It was back ordered at most suppliers but Adorama had it available and at the best price I could find.

Available counterweight at best price from Adorama

Its a weight. As advertised. For use with my CGEM mount.

it weighs 11 lbs

Had product I needed, processed and shipped order quickly

Excellent

Perfect

Heavy weight at 22lbs but their price beat EVERYONE’s price. Fast and easy.

Fast and easy purchases.

Adorama asked for a review, so here it is.  As advertised, it is a counterweight.  It is flat on two sides and round at the edge.  It is painted a semi-glossy black.  It works to counterbalance my 9.25" SCT and new accessories I added recently.

Although it is advertised as 11 pounds, mine weighs 11 pounds 2 ounces, so I got more than I paid for.  I'm keeping it and not paying for the extra 2 ounces, so there, ha ha.

Also fits AVX weight shaft

I purchased two extra 22 lb weights for my CGX-L mount.  These extra weights are just what I needed to balance my Celestron 14" scope.  While not as portable as I would like, these are great additions to my backyard observatory.  Great job on a great product.

Heavy duty and durable

Received in good condition - very well packed.
