Weight for table set-ups.

Have used counter weights for telescopes as bases for stacking set ups successfully. Ones I have are little over 10 pounds each. Would not recommend for field work!

Using telescope balance weights for camera. Free weights would serve the same purpose. Mount camera and Wemacro on one and specimen is attached to another.
