A little help please

[rowan46]

I am looking for a smaller counterweight than the one that comes as standard with an eq1. It needs to fit an eq1 shaft and be at least half the weight as I am going to use it for a widefield portable mount and its only having a samsung nx on it any ideas where to go?

thankyou

I had one of these and used a bolt fitted with washers that screwed into the existing bar.
