The weights slip easily onto the counterweight shaft and are secured in position with a large hand knob\/brass pin assembly. The brass pin will not mar your shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeep in mind that you can adjust the position of the weights to counterbalance varying loads. However, the addition of a guidescope, camera and other heavy accessories may necessitate an additional counterweight. If you plan to mount your Catadioptric, Newtonian or any other scope, figure that you will need a counterweight total equal to approximately 90-125% of the weight of your tube assembly and accessories (large diameter scopes require a higher percentage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImportant Mount Balancing Note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Please read this document to understand the proper way to position counterweights when balancing your mount:\u003c\/span\u003e Balance to Optimize Guiding \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBelow are the nominal weights and dimensions of our counterweight line.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCounterweights for 1.125\" Shaft - 400, 600E, 800 and Mach1GTO mounts:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse these dimensions to determine how many counterweights will fit on each shaft:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 lb.
