I keep a stack of speaker magnets on my Bintel dob eyepiece rack and apply as necessary to balance whatever is in the focuser. I dont use the springs to tension the bearings as I don't like applying the extra friction. The Denk is a bit heavier than my chinese binos, but you just need a few more magnets - I haven't found balance to be any problem at all.
