About this product

Achieve flawless stability and smooth tracking with the official Sky-Watcher Counterweight Set, specifically designed for your equatorial mount. By combining both 3.45kg and 1.85kg weights, this set delivers the precise balancing necessary to reduce strain on internal gears and ensure steady, clear views during every observing session.

Wide Compatibility
Engineered for EQ5 and EQ3 mounts
Long-Term Protection
Backed by a 5-year warranty

Refined Balance for Equatorial Setups

Proper balance is essential when working with German equatorial mounts, as an offset load can lead to gear slippage and tracking errors. Having two distinct counterweight sizes allows you to dial in your balance incrementally, accommodating various optical tubes and heavier accessories without overstressing your drive system.

Reliable Mount Protection

Smooth mechanical motion protects your investment and ensures tracking motors operate efficiently during long observation periods. Designed to integrate directly with Sky-Watcher EQ3 and EQ5 mount shafts, these weights deliver secure, slip-free performance every time you head outside under dark skies.

Paired Weight Configuration
Features a primary 3.45kg weight alongside a smaller 1.85kg weight, giving you the flexibility to balance lightweight refractor rigs or heavier payload assemblies with equal precision.

Key Features

  • Two Weight Sizes – Includes one 3.45kg and one 1.85kg weight for adaptable balance increments.
  • Dual Mount Compatibility – Fits both Sky-Watcher EQ5 and EQ3 telescope mount shafts seamlessly.
  • Precision Balancing – Eliminates uneven loads to support smoother manual panning or motorised tracking.
  • Five-Year Warranty – Supported by a Sky-Watcher 5-year non-transferable manufacturer warranty.
  • Durable White Finish – Styled in clean white to perfectly match standard Sky-Watcher equatorial mounts.
