Steven S. ★★★★★

The machining on this 11-pound weight is clean and the threading mates smoothly with the shaft, no wobble once torqued down. It’s heavy enough that I only need one for my EQ6, which makes setup a bit quicker than juggling two smaller ones.

Natalie U. ★★★★★

My mount was wobbling with an uneven load until I added this 11-pound weight; the flat back design sits flush against the saddle plate and the balance is now rock solid.

Henry H. ★★★★★

The included bolt threads cleanly through my EQ6-R saddle, so the 11 pounds sits rock-solid with zero wobble during slews. It balances my 10-inch Newt perfectly and feels machined to a tight tolerance. A bit pricey for a hunk of metal, but you get what you pay for in stability.
