Excellent mount for moderate payload equipment
Items delivered in good time from US with all custom clearance sorted by Amazon hassle free. The tripods are strong and sturdy with no wobbles. Once learnt to set up, very easy to use. Even with 1 star alignment after pilot scope polar alignment with Polaris, it goes to target accurately and tracks well. Use with a Sony A7 mirrorless camera and a Alkar AClL 200mm lens, balanced with just one counter weight, 5 mins exposed picture show round and sharp stars. Without guiding scope, the target object stays at the centre of the frame after 2 hrs of shooting. Very happy for my equipment setting.
