I have recieved extensive help with this mount and am happy with the results I have gotten

This mount is excellent for a begginer, some errors might occur while trouble shooting but usually user error. The mount tracks fairly well. The 2 star alignment works a little better in the synscan pro app. Will be using this as my goto( no pun intended)

Nice little tracker

This device is super easy to transport, and works equally well for SLR milky way photography as it does for zoom lens deep space images.
I like how the tracker and tripod can be transported in a built position, because set up and alignment takes no more than 5 mins. Highly recommend this product!

Great mount

I purchased the GTi to do astrophotography with an 80mm refactor. It works great with this setup. It is light so easy to transport and setup. The images that I took where extremely clear with pin point stars. I'm extremely happy with the GTi.
