Stainless Steel Counterweights for Takahashi EM mounts

These stainless steel counterweights fit the 18mm shaft of the Takahashi EM-200 , EM-10, and other mounts. For NJP weights click the link.

Each weight has rounded edges, a bronze bushing, and a non-rotating brass plunger to prevent scaring of the counterweight shaft. The brass plunger has a stainless steel spring so it retracts when you loosen the thumbscrew. On other companies' weights the plunger falls into the bore. and prevents it from going on the shaft - unless the knob is down.

The weights come in four sizes:
