  • Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Counterweight Kit

    The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Counterweight Kit provides the necessary balance for using heavier imaging payloads on the Star Adventurer and Star Adventurer 2i tracking mounts. This kit includes a 1 kg (2.2 lbs) counterweight and a durable stainless steel shaft to balance your telescope or camera load.

    Balancing for Heavier Payloads: The 1 kg Solution

    Sky-Watcher's Star Adventurer 2i manual lists the 1 kg counterweight to balance the telescope or camera loading. Balance the load before you start tracking.

    Stainless Steel Shaft and Secure Mounting

    The kit is built for stability and security in the field. The counterweight shaft is stainless steel. The included lock knob allows you to position the 1 kg weight precisely along the shaft, while a safety stop at the end prevents the weight from accidentally slipping off during setup or adjustment.

    • Precise Balance: Slide the 1 kg weight along the shaft to find the exact balance point for your specific camera and lens combination.
    • Secure Locking: The lock knob holds the weight in place on the shaft.

  • Why do I need the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Counterweight Kit?

    The 1 kg counterweight balances the telescope or camera loading on the Star Adventurer 2i. Use it when your load needs balancing.

    Is the Star Adventurer Counterweight Kit compatible with all Star Adventurer models?

    This kit is specifically designed for compatibility with the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer and Star Adventurer 2i models. Please check your mount to ensure it is one of these versions before purchasing.
