Why Use the NOMAD Counterweight Kit?

The NOMAD Counterweight Kit is designed to make your night sky photography smoother, more stable, and more versatile.

What This Kit Actually Does

Unlike a simple weight add-on, this kit balances your setup:

• The counterweight arm is positioned directly opposite the camera — always at 180° — which distributes weight evenly.
• When shooting high elevation angles, heavier lenses (especially above 2 kg or when using a tripod collar) can create excess torque, causing tracking inaccuracies.
• Adding this balance kit reduces torque, keeps motion smooth, and improves your tracking accuracy for longer exposures.

You’ll want it if you:

• Shoot with longer or heavier lenses and need better balance
• Want your NOMAD to stay stable in any position, especially during off-center/offset shooting
• Aim for improved tracking accuracy for longer exposures
• Prefer a lightweight, compact setup that’s easy to carry
• Want the flexibility to use any standard ~54 mm diameter can filled with water, sand, or small weights

Lens Recommendations:

Without the Counterweight Kit: suitable for lenses up to 100 mm
With the Counterweight Kit: suitable for lenses up to 135 mm

💡Note: The ball head in this kit is custom-designed for proper balance. Other ball heads will not fit with this kit.
