The iOptron Low Latitude 10kg Counterweight for CEM120 is an essential accessory designed for use with the iOptron CEM120 Equatorial Mount. This weight serves a crucial purpose in providing stability and counterbalance to the mount, ensuring smooth and precise tracking performance, especially when observing at low altitudes.

When observing celestial objects at low altitudes, the weight distribution of the telescope and mount can become unbalanced, causing potential issues with tracking accuracy and stability. Adding the low altitude weight to the counterweight system helps offset the gravitational forces acting on the telescope, effectively counterbalancing the setup and maintaining proper equilibrium.

Proper counterbalancing is essential for achieving optimal tracking performance, as it reduces the strain on the mount's gears and motors, minimizing the risk of potential errors or disruptions during long-exposure astrophotography sessions or visual observations.
