Mount Accessories
Mount accessories improve the performance of your telescope mount. A mount is the heart of your telescope system. A solid, reliable mount is critical to get the best from your telescope.
BINTEL mount accessories help for both visual and imaging. You can improve the stability of your mount or add additional electronic controls. BINTEL also supplies polar alignment accessories. Ball heads add flexibility to tripod. Vibration pads help minimize shakes in the mount. Wedges convert AZ telescopes from Meade and Celestron into EQ mounts.
Computers like the ZWO ASIAIR control the mount itself and cameras. Guide scopes and cameras are in a separate category.

- Designed to fit 32mm counterweight shafts
- Sturdy lock knob keeps the counterweight safely on the shaft
Whether you are enhancing your mount setup or buying a replacement part, the counterweight is there to balance weight of the optical tube (OTA) and accessories on the other side of the Right Accession (RA Axis). If you add accessories to your telescope setup (ie camera, guider, etc), you may need to add additional counterweights to off-set the weight.
If the balance is off on one-side or the other, it can do damage to your OTA and setup, the motor gear, and/or may have issues with tracking accuracy. You can add additional counterweights to improve the responsiveness to the system by reducing the mass inertia, though you need to make sure you space out the counterweights along the shaft to reduce damage to your setup and that it is cost-effective and worth it for your telescope setup.
This counterweight comes with a sturdy knurled knob locks to safely hold in place on the counterweight shaft. The counterweight is designed to fit 32mm counterweight shafts
Below are the counterweights that go with each one of our recent Celestron mounts.
| Weight: | 22 lbs (9.98 kg) |
| Counterweight Shaft Diameter: | 32mm (1.26") |
| Counterweight Compatibility: | CGX-L | CGE Pro | CGEM DX |

- Miniature tripod perfect for using your telescope on an elevated surface such as a picnic table
- Provides a solid, sturdy base for your NexStar Evolution, NexStar SE, and Celestron Origin fork arm mount with telescope tube
- Features adjustment knobs and a bubble level to ensure the telescope is perfectly level even if the tabletop is not
- Three captured screws securely lock your mount and telescope to the tripod
Eliminate the need for your full-height tripod and enjoy grab-and-go convenience when you add the Tabletop Tripod to your NexStar Evolution, NexStar SE, or Celestron Origin telescope. This compact and sturdy accessory is half the size and weight of a standard tripod, making it perfect for travel. The low-profile legs and wide footprint offer added stability, while the convenient tabletop design makes it easier for some observers (especially children) to access the eyepiece.
Setup is quick and easy compared to a full-height tripod. Simply place the Tabletop Tripod on a camp table, bench, tailgate, or any other flat surface. With a footprint of just 17.5” x 16”, you can use it just about anywhere. Then, open and level the tripod legs, attach the mount and telescope, and you’re ready to go.
The Tabletop Tripod has adjustable knobs on each leg and a bubble leveler on the mount plate to ensure your setup is level before adding the telescope. Just like the NexStar SE, NexStar Evolution, and Celestron Origin’s standard tripod, the Tabletop Tripod has three captured screws on the underside of the mount plate so you can securely lock your mount and telescope in place.
When not in use, the Tabletop Tripod’s legs fold inward and stow neatly under the mount plate for easy storage and transport.
