Too little counterweight means wear, tracking errors, and vibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-Tegengewicht-WAVE-5-kg.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher 5 kg stainless steel counterweight WAVE set with round weight disc, counterweight bar and extension with green clamping screw.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A harmonic drive can operate without a counterweight, but with a counterweight its load capacity increases and the load on the drive decreases. For heavy photography setups on the WAVE 100i or 150i, this stainless steel kit is therefore the sensible expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Weight: 5 kg (stainless steel)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Shaft diameter 20 mm<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Slides on the counterweight rod and clamps with grub screw<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable for the Sky-Watcher WAVE 100i and WAVE 150i.
