The build quality leaves something to be desired with this, most especially the drawtube which seems to commonly have been machined with the "flat" that the crayford focusser draws upon not being, in actual fact, flat.
This means that the grip of the focusser is much reduced and, possibly worse, variable depending on the focus point required.
The balance point, like all short tube refractors also resides under or very close to the focussing knobs making balance more difficult.
In short, consider something a little more upmarket if you want a scope to hold heavy eyepieces or DSLR bodies.
