Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Astro Package Counter Weight

This is designed for the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Astro Package and works as its supposed to to. It takes a few minutes to balance the unit with a camera installed but it does balance nicely and keeps the unit steady during operation.

Counterweight

If you have a full-frame camera I recommend this counterweight, it helps to counteract the weight of the camera.

Definite help

If you balancing a heavy camera and lens on your tripod - help make your movements a bit easier with this counterweight, It is even more critical to use it with a 2 camera mount, or if adding other items.

The stars are in the balance

I purchased the counterweight recently to allow me to use larger lenses with my Sky Watcher star tracker. I recently traveled to Australia, where I used this out in the desert to photography the Milky Way and the Large and Small Megallanic Clouds. If you’re interested in shooting the stars and you have a Sky Watcher star tracker, this is a must-have.

Yes, it is a counter weight! and it works.

Hard to find something monumental to say about a stick with a weight on it, It is sturdy and should keep on working longer than any other part of the EQ !

Great Accessory

I bought the Sky Watcher Adventurer tracker and decided to add the counter weight kit. Glad I did. Takes stress off the tracking motor by balancing the weight.You also need the bracket that this screws into.
