AZ EQ5
Review by regulus on 03.06.2015 09:45:55( 2 / 5 )
The mount and tripod arrived well packaged inside two boxes. The installation instructions were clear and simple. It took me only a few minutes to set the mount up and try it in AZ mode in the first night. Go to accuracy was excellent and the Synscan v4 software was reliable and bugless. The entire setup is portable and easy to carry around.
During subsequent utilizations, particularly in EQ mode, I’ve noticed an annoying play in the Dec axis, despite the fact that both clutches were tight. A smaller play also exists in RA axis. This situation is noticeable even when a small tube such as an ED80 is used.
For visual the problem is barely tolerable, but for astrophotography purposes the situation is quite unacceptable. There is just too much wiggle!
It’s so disappointing that a very interesting product is plagued by these glitches, probably caused by a less than optimal quality control.
