How to Set Up the NOMAD Counterweight Kit:
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 â always at 180° â 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.
Youâll 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 thatâs easy to carry
- Want the flexibility to use any standard ~54âŻmm diameter can filled with water, sand, or small weights
Lens Recommendations:
Without the Counterweight Kit: suitable for lenses up to 100âŻmm
With the Counterweight Kit: suitable for lenses up to 135âŻmm
đĄNote: The ball head in this kit is custom-designed for proper balance. Other ball heads will not fit with this kit.
