For low latitude users like myself, using counterweights on the AM5 will result in collision of the CW to the pier due to the small clearance. Even with counterweights with a small diameter, this is a problem.
Suggesting that ZWO makes an optional attachment to allow the CW shaft to be angled, like so:
This would greatly help us living near the equator. I plan to machine this myself but it would be nice if ZWO has this option available (and in matching colours!)
