CEM40 Counterweight Shaft Mounting House

Description

A replacement counterweight shaft mounting house for the iOptron CEM40 equatorial mount, specifically designed for use at low latitudes (approximately 10 degrees and below). At very low latitudes near the equator, the standard counterweight shaft position can cause clearance issues — this alternative mounting house repositions the shaft to avoid interference.

If you’re observing or imaging from equatorial regions (within ~10° of the equator), this is an essential accessory to ensure the counterweight shaft clears the tripod legs throughout the mount’s full range of motion. Installs in place of the standard counterweight mounting house on the CEM40.
