Properly balance heavier observation rigs on your G-11 or HGM 200 mount with Losmandy's DVDWS 2.5 lb Counterweight System. The base is compatible with their larger D-series and smaller V-series plates and comes outfitted with a 2" long threaded rod that matches the threads on the 2.5 lb weight's bore-hole, allowing you to precisely balance the load by turning the weight one way, or the other.

I Purchased The Losmandy Counterweight For My Celestron 8” Edge HD. Delivery Was Quick. The Item Is Well Made And Finished Looks Good. It Is Very Useful In Balancing Telescope. I Attached It To The Bottom Of The Dovetail Plate Of My Telescope.
Overall the mounting plate is excellently machined and finished. But, I had to clean the paint from the threaded hole in the weight. It would not thread on to the rod and immediately got stuck. I simply had to chase the threads with a 1/2-13 tap. I also chose to add a nut to lock the weight into position. An unfortunate inconvenience, as the unit is perfect in all other respects. It could be an issue to fix for someone not mechanically inclined. Overall I'm still happy.
