Very well made accessory. It mounted to the rail with no issues and I was able to balance the 3rd axis on my 8″ Edge HD (the weight ended up at the very end of the threaded rod). My scope was very much out of balance on the 3rd axis even though it was perfectly balanced on the Dec and RA axis. My OAG guiding error was reduced from an average of about 1.5 arc seconds to less than 1 arc second on average. Very pleased with the improvement.

I was having issues getting my DEC axis to balance correctly due to having EAF and power boxes on one side of my scope setup. This counterweight system was the absolute solution to those issues and now the DEC axis can be fully balanced without having to “jerry rig” your setup to achieve focus. The system gives you a lot of flexibility to address heavier or lighter imbalance issues that you might experience with various setups. Having the ability to adjust the counterweight closer to or further away from the mounting plate allows almost any imbalance issues to be corrected quickly and easily.
