What do all think of this idea? Pictured is a trial weight (20 lbs). I envision using stainless steel cable instead of the nylon rope for security and safety. As the antenna crossboom is rotated, the rope unwinds.

Do a lot of you, or all, use a counterbalance weight on your elevation rotor? If so, how did you implement it?
I have 3 antennas (2M, 70cm, 23cm) on my cross boom and want to reduce the load on the Yaesu rotor so it lasts longer.
