Good for visual

Friday, 27 April 2018 | Simon

I have been using an EQ3 Pro for about 2 years now and it has been great. The mount is easy to allign, moves smoothly and tracks well.

The only downside I would give this mount is that it has a small payload capacity which limits the size of telescope that can be used and its use.

This is a good mount for beginners and those who are generally visual observers who wont be tracking over long periods of time.
