For the price point, it is a great go-to mount for compact set ups (max payload weight 11 lbs/4.98 kg). The tracking isnt bad once you have calibrated it, easy to set up and connect to the app.The weight is slightly heavier than what I was expecting, but definitely needed based on your set up. The legs can easily be upgraded down the road if you're looking for something more sturdy.Overall design is great but the cover for the sight lens is a tad bit flimsy and access to the batteries require a screw to be removed. Despite this, I would still recommend this product for anyone looking for a go-to set up.

Its a great GoTo mount. Best bang for your buck. I currently have a sv48p Refractor mounted on it and it does an outstanding job. But lighter scope would benefit even more. I also use my Rokinon 135 On it with my Canon 90d and I feel like with that setup it truly comes to life more than one can expect.

So far, it works great. During the first outing, I had it aligned and autoguiding on the first try! I love the small size but it isn't light. Portable yes!

This is a lite weight mount that is easy to carry out into the yard on clear nights, and I've been happy with it. Even so, there are some things one should consider before buying.1) There is no tech support ... or rather Sky Watcher's tech support department seemingly consists of just one person, Alex, and he does not want to talk to you ... at all ... ever. Stop bothering him. I tried calling multiple times, hoping to get someone else, but got Alex every time. I tried sending emails, but again, Alex every time, and he had exactly zero interest helping me resolve the issue that I had.2) The GOTO functionality is really GO(near)TO. The reason for this is that star alignment is nearly impossible unless you live out on the plains somewhere with zero obstructions on your horizon. What I found was that every time I tried to do a star alignment, I could pick any 1st star I wanted, but then was only given an option of 3 or 4 stars for the 2nd star ... every one of them right on the horizon. I have a fine view of the sky where I am, but not of the horizon. From the horizon up to 10°(ish) above the horizon, I can't see. The result of this is that I can only ever do a 1-star alignment, which means that I only have GO(near)TO functionality.3) The leveling bubble is VERY poorly placed. You can only see it from the side, and not straight down. This makes leveling the mount a little bothersome.On the bright side, this mount works well with my battery pack jump starter that I got from the auto-parts store to jump start my mower. I didn't even have to buy a cable as the cable that came with the jump starter was the right size for the plug on the mount.Had I to do it over again, I would still buy this mount. The price is great for a GO(near)TO mount. It's easy to use, well built, lite weight, and it tracks just fine. It supports the weight of my 80mm refractor and camera without any issue.

The thumb screw for the side cover, that covers the batteries does not fit correctly. As I unscrewed this The thumb screw would not go back in, Even if I did not have the batteries in there. It constantly pops out. I've never been able to put it back in place. If I knew this would be cumbersome I would have just bought a battery pack That fits into the power input and never try to use batteries at ever again because that is the most bothersome part of the device. That and once you track stars it doesn't sync with the Stars properly. When Syncing or tracking the stars and taking long exposure shots the booklet doesn't tell you anything about how to make sure the Star tracker stays tracking and aligned. I had to figure out from others on another social media platform Who have dealt with the same issue. Right now I am going to report the issue about the thumb screw and hopefully I can get a replacement tracker because I do not want my tracker to stay open without the cover. I am not sure yet if I'm going to enjoy this device until I know I have everything corrected.

Fácil de orientar con su telescopio y luz interna, la opción de baterías es muy cómoda, muy frágil la tapa del telescopio interno ya que se cae con facilidad, la opción de tripié está bien, aunque si ya cuentas con un tripié estable con opción a adaptar esta montura , funciona igual o mejor, es poca la diferencia en precio. Es necesario usar el teléfono, computadora o el control para poder operarlo.
