Tele Vue Telescope Balance Aid - APB-1008: For use with Tele Vue mounts, the Telescope Balancing Aid moves the scope's center of gravity forward about an added two and half inches for better balance with heavier eyepieces and added photographic equipment. 

The Tele Vue APB-1008 Balance Aid was designed originally for standard Tele Vue telescope ring mounts, but can also be adapted to photo tripods as well.
