Counterweight Shaft
To attach the stainless steel counterweight shaft to the Paramount, insert the threaded end into the
bottom of the declination assembly (Figure 45) and rotate the shaft clockwise until it is hand tight. The
counterweight shaft changes the mount’s center of mass and may make the unit “top heavy,” so make
sure to install the secure the mount to the pier or tripod first.
