Software Bisque Counterweight Shaft Extension for Paramount ME Mount

This extension is designed to fit the Paramount ME, ME II, MX, and MYT models. It is specifically engineered to thread onto the standard counterweight shafts used on these mounts.

The extension bar has a diameter of 1.5 inches, matching the standard shaft dimensions of the compatible Paramount mounts.

You typically need an extension when your imaging setup is heavy enough that you run out of physical space on the original shaft to balance the load. Adding this extension provides the extra length required to position your counterweights further out, achieving balance without needing to add excessive weight.

When installed correctly, it maintains the structural integrity of your counterweight system. However, keep in mind that extending the shaft increases the leverage on the mount, so ensure your total payload remains within the mount's specified weight capacity.

No, the extension is designed to thread directly into the end of your existing Paramount counterweight shaft. It is a straightforward, tool-free installation.
