i needed a way to balance my hadley when i have my camera attached to it, so i designed this box that clips onto the ½" aluminum rods of the assembly for easy removal when not needed in visual astronomy

the box was designed to fit 8 2oz. lead fishing weights, matching the total weight of the canon eos rebel t7 DSLR camera, however it could be stretched or squashed to accommodate more or less as needed for your individual use case

the model needs no supports, and requires 4, 6-32 x ½" machine screws for the lid
