Pressie from .cn

Mum went to China for a trip, and uncle "gifted" me a 2kg counter weight made of brass - very steam punk

It has an inner tube of plastic, and a cute custom screw. Now I can finally use my scope without adding a film SLR for dead weight.

I was slightly worried that the material would cost more than the cost of buying a 2kg CW here - thankfully it wasn't.

Mum had some fun getting through customs with that though - she had to put it in her carry on due to the eight
