Using accessories such as Cameras, Lens Shades, Tele-Extenders and the 2" Diagonal will affect the balance of your Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope . Celestron Counter weights restore proper balance, increasing ease in handling and improved tracking accuracy.
You don't need perfect balance to operate your Celestron Telescope . In fact, it's not always possible to achieve perfect balance with fixed-position Weights . All you need to do is reduce, or eliminate, swing when R.A. and DEC locks are released. Celestron Counterweights help you achieve the desired balance and stability with ease. Celestron offer Celestron #11 Counterweight for CG-5 Mount (item 94186).

This is a very good counterweight for the money. Buying it from Optic Planet was great to deal with! Pros: Great Cons: None
This is an exact duplicate of the weight that came with the mount :o)
I needed a second weight for my GEM when I purchased a larger OTA. Pros: Fits multiple mounts Cons: Wider than a meade or Orion weight; however it has the same diameter hole
