Just what I was looking for! The item is especially useful for iOptron CEM mounts which are very smooth and easily develop imbalances due to asymmetrical equipment (For example, the DSLR battery-side being heavier can make declination lean towards one side). This gives me the much needed freedom to add additional equipment to my existing setup. I just need to move the CW out to get a nice balance without disturbing the dec. clamp. Kuldip also made a M8 to M6 adapter for me, which helps me to directly screw the shaft of the CW in the iGuider M6 slot provided in the stock CEM26 declination clamp. The quality of the material used is great. Highly recommended for use with refractors on a CEM mount.
