Keep Your Mount Balanced When Adding Heavier Gear

When you add a heavier telescope, a camera, or a guide scope to your EXOS-2 mount, you often need more counterweight to keep everything balanced. An unbalanced mount strains the gears, throws off tracking, and makes observing frustrating. This 5 lb counterweight slides onto your existing counterweight shaft to restore balance quickly and easily.

Who This Is For

  • EXOS-2 or EXOS-2GT owners adding a heavier optical tube or camera
  • Anyone who needs a second counterweight to balance an accessory-heavy setup

Key Features

  • 5 lb (2.2 kg) — suitable for balancing small-to-medium telescopes and guide scopes
  • Designed for EXOS-2 and EXOS-2GT counterweight shafts
  • Reduces mount strain and improves tracking stability
  • Black finish with silver stripe matches EXOS mount aesthetics
