I bought a 20" length of 18mm round bright steel from the local bolt n steel sales shop for $8. Had a mate run a bead of weld around one end and then grind back for a stopper, and then drill and tap a hole at the other end for the retaining nut/screw thingie.
I can now balance my 10" reflector on the eq6 with just the 2 standard weights rather than 3.
The point being, if you have a little know how and the right equipment or know someone that does, you can save a lot of $$$.
cheers
