Hannah ★★★★★

The weight fits perfectly on my MyT's shaft, and the black finish matches the mount's look. It balances my 12-inch SCT without any wobble during tracking.

Sebastian ★★★★★

I've been using this on my MX mount for a few weeks now, and the balance is spot-on with no drifting even during long imaging sessions. The 1.5-inch bore fits perfectly snug on the shaft without any play.

Ella ★★★★★

It's a solid chunk of metal, no wobble once it's on the shaft, and it balanced my C14 without any extra adapters needed.
