    Comments about Meade #1403 Tube Balance Weight System for all 12 Inch SCTs:

    I purchased this balance system so that I could mount my digital camera on the telescope. I also have a couple of lenses that are very heavy. This is easy to adjust for the various weights of the camera or lenses. It does exactly what it is advertised to do.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Meade #1403 Tube Balance Weight System for all 12 Inch SCTs:

    I own a 12" Meade LX200 Classic...this item is used to counterbalance the (so many) added accessories to the back-end (viewing) end of the telescope. These counterweights were machined perfectly, installed in less than 10 minutes, and are well made. PERFECT. Instructions for installation are NOT included and might be helpful. But enough photos are posted on the internet to show the beginner exactly where and how to install them on your scope.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
