iOptron Counterweight Kit for SkyTracker Pro

iOptron Counterweight Set for SkyTracker Pro: balance set for the SkyTracker Pro

With this set you balance a heavier camera setup on the SkyTracker Pro. From a load of approximately 1.2 kg, for example a mirrorless camera with telephoto lens, the counterweight keeps the tracking mount in balance.

The set is complete: 1.35 kg counterweight, counterweight rod, mounting rail, and mounting screw. Assemble and photograph.

Why balance

A well-balanced SkyTracker Pro tracks more smoothly and causes less wear on the motor. This translates directly to sharper stars at longer exposure times with telephoto lenses.

Included

• Counterweight 1.35 kg
• Counterweight bar
• Mounting rail
• Fastening screw

Featured accessories

Combine the set with the iPolar for the SkyTracker Pro for a quick and accurate polar alignment.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ SkyTracker Pro users with a camera plus telephoto lens starting from approx. 1.2 kg
• ✗ Light setups with wide-angle lens: balancing is not necessary
