Elp Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 IF you manage to have an azgti with a threaded female hole (M12 I believe) in the centre of the altitude locking knob (not all azgti have this hole threaded, I know, doesn't make much sense does it?), you can balance the setup much better by DIYing an all thread bar, some nuts and washers and light weightlifting weights.

happy-kat Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) ^ what I did and found things at home to add weight between the winged washers on the M12 threaded bar I got cut to my length online my solution on the az-gti owners thread Edited January 29 by happy-kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu1smartcookie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just to add to this thread , I used to use a counterweight even in Alt-Az mode with the GTi , and also i have used a "z" bracket which i bought from TS optics . This enabled the scope to sit above the mount and i had a counterweight on the other end giving perfect balance . There is cause for concern if you add too much weight , especially on such a mount as the AZ-GTi , however . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
