Review by Phasko on 15.12.2020 23:52:11

( 4 / 5 )

Coming into this without a clue to what i was doing, i'm able to align and track all objects i want with relative ease. At first i was a bit frustrated, but the instruction manual is clear enough. Polar alignment is a breeze after some practice, and the motors are pretty precise.

Positive points:
Overall strong build, with good fastening. i have no wobble issues.
Mount is very rigid.
All adjustments to alignment with both screws and with the motor are easy and precise.
Cables are long enough.

Negative points:
Battery covers are questionable quality, one broke off on the first day.
Polar alignment scope is sometimes blocked by a tube that doesn't rotate reliably.
Adjustment screw for tilt can hit the polar alignment scope and is unusable in my opinion.
