Counter weights for HEQ5-PRO / EQ6-PRO

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where you can purchase additional counterweights in the 2 - 2.5kg range for the HEQ5-PRO / EQ6-PRO? I can find the additional 5Kg weights no problems, but I'm setting up two small refractors side by side on my HEQ5-PRO and need about 7Kg to balance.

Thanks,
Stephen

try Mick Pinner - he can get them made up to suit.

Hi H0ughy,
Thanks, I've already spoken with Mick. He is now specialising in Losmandy and Astrophysics counter weights. A counterweight for a HEQ5-PRO / EQ6-PRO would be a custom job and expensive. I was hoping to find a dealer who has these as stock items.

Regards,
Stephen
