More about the product
It might happen that because of an additional accessory (heavy eyepiece, larger finderscope or camera) the telescope cannot be balanced successfully with the provided counterweights. A telescope without the proper balance can damage the mount itself.

EQ-1 or EQ-2 counterweight (2.4kg, 12mm hole)
Summary
I am using it with a SW az-gti on M12 bar: it works very well. Quick delivery. The price is fair, but all brands want to much money for a piece of iron
krsto_herenda's opinion
After a few weeks, months of usage
Mechanical quality
Price/Value ratio
EQ-3 or EQ-5 counterweight (5kg, 20mm hole)
Pros
Solid chunk of steel, nice paint finish. Screw holds it tight against the rod.
Cons
It could be a bit cheaper for what it is.
Summary
A must have thing if you want to add something like a camera to your telescope.
