I have had the pleasure of being asked to try out and make a video on the ProLogik balance meter. This product is made and supplied by ProLogik Astro and there is a link here to their site where you can also buy the product. Andy Mitchell is also working on other ideas and products that can help the Astro community so check out his website.

https://www.prologik-astro.com/.....Unfortunately it seems this company are no longer making these and have taken the website down however you can pick up Amp meters that would do the same job from places like Amazon link below

The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
