BTW, two CGEM counterweights were ALMOST as much as one Paramount weight, so even the mid-priced accessories are getting out of sight. On 5/4/10, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
I have zero visibility on weekdays. I never know what time I'm leaving work until I'm walking out the door, so can't commit. Fridays would be the only exception.
There's no way I'd pay that kind of money for a counterweight. You could have one made custom by a local machinist for less! But I suppose it wouldn't be OEM Paramount-branded equipment, then, would it? ;o)

True but it would be nice to have it there. But I guess you can always bring it to one (some) of the many star parties set for this year.
I have a prior commitment for the 22nd. The 29th is the Memorial Day weekend and I have no visibility on that, as of yet.
Looks like you are looking at Saturdays. Would a week day after work work?
(As an aside, when did ordering a pair of ordinary counterweights get to cost so blasted much money!? SHEESH!)
Ha! Try buying a few of these: http://www.bisque.com/sc/shops/store/Paramount-ME-Counterweight.aspx
