Description

Vertical (Y-axis) balancing

The Vertical Balancing Bracket is installed on one of the side plates. It will take a 4kg or 8kg counterweight. By sliding the counterweight up down it is possible to adjust the altitude axle balance when the telescope is pointing at high altitudes.

Azimuth balancing

When using a single heavy (+15 kg) side-mounted telescope the Vertical Balancing Bracket can be installed on the opposite side and hold an 8kg counterweight to achieve better Azimuth balance. This is mainly to stabilize the tripod and secure that it cannot tilt over. This will also take care of Vertical (Y-axis) balancing.

Easy Attachment

The Vertical Balancing Bracket for the TS-160 Panther Lite can be easily installed for a quick and stable set-up.

High Capacity

The Vertical Balancing Bracket can hold up to 1 Panther Lite Counterweight either the 4kg or 8kg version.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Richard ★★★★★

I was worried about the weight shifting during operation, but this bracket locks the counterweight firmly in place with smooth vertical adjustment. The 8kg option gives me plenty of stability for my setup.

Lucy B. ★★★★★

Sliding the 4kg counterweight up and down lets me dial in the balance in seconds, and it bolts right onto the side plate without any drilling. My rig feels way steadier now.

Robert F. ★★★★★

Wasn't sure I needed this until I tried counterbalancing my rig, and now the Y-axis feels so much smoother. The bracket bolts onto the side plate without any wobble, and it holds the 8kg weight exactly where I set it. Total game changer for keeping things steady.
