iOptron’s PowerWeightTM rechargeable counterweight battery pack is designed for using with various iOptron mounts. It can be fitted onto a mount which has a counterweight (CW) shaft with a diameter of 20mm or 28mm. Use this battery pack in place of your traditional CW, or as an additional CW, and avoid long extension cords.
This newly designed 5kg (11lb) counterweight (CW) uses compression ring to lock the CW onto a CW shaft. Comparing to traditional "point contact" locking mechanism via a locking screw and a pin, the compression ring provides more secure locking method through distributed surface contact.
This CW is designed for following iOptron Mount:
CEM70/CEM70EC/CEM70G
CEM60/CEM60EC
GEM45/GEM45EC/GEM45G
CEM40/CEM40EC/CEM40G* (for late version with 28mm CW shaft)
iEQ45 Pro
iEQ45
It can be used for other mount with a 28mm diameter counterweight shaft.
This is an original replacement counterweight shaft (w/o CW safety screw) and the extension bar for the iEQ45 Pro/iEQ45. This is also the extension bar for the CEM40/60/70 GEM45 mounts. Attach to the CW shaft and will create more counterbalance torque.
