iOptron 22 lb (10 kg) Counterweight for CEM120 Mount

Part Number: 7326

If you’ve added a heavier payload to your iOptron CEM120 mount—like a large imaging train, off-axis guider, or a longer focal length optical tube—you may need extra counterbalance to achieve smooth, accurate tracking. The iOptron 7326 counterweight is a 22-pound (10 kg) weight designed specifically for use with the CEM120 counterweight shaft.

Machined for a 1.5-inch diameter bore, this counterweight fits the CEM120’s stock shaft perfectly. It may also be compatible with other mounts that use a 1.5" (38mm) counterweight bar, making it a practical solution for observatory users or anyone running large astro setups.

Observing Tip:

A well-balanced mount reduces strain on motors, improves tracking accuracy, and leads to better autoguiding results. If you’re pushing the upper end of your mount’s payload range or imaging at long focal lengths, having the right counterweight—positioned properly—can make a noticeable difference in performance.

The iOptron 7326 22-pound counterweight is a must-have for CEM120 owners running larger rigs. Whether you're expanding your imaging gear or fine-tuning your balance for better guiding, this counterweight delivers the mass and security you need to keep your setup steady and your stars pinpoint-sharp.
