Includes fitting instructions.
Beautifully made, very smooth and simple to fit. Included is a little tool for removing the original screw, I had to use this again when reassembling as the one that came in the kit is slightly too long. Everyone says that the fine focuser is 7:1, even Takahashi, but it takes eight full turns to turn the large wheel 360 degrees, isn't this 8:1 ?. Just wish it was fitted as standard.
Another order from FLO that was received as described and on time.
After my first use of the dual speed focuser, I’m very happy with the purchase. It was simple to fit and greatly enhances my observing experience. I use an FC100DC Tak with a Baader Mk IV zoom (most of the time) and you need to slightly adjust the focus to allow for shift between magnifications. This makes it much easier to nail the focus quickly, I don’t know why they’er not fitted as standard. Excellent service and speed of delivery from FLO, thanks everyone!
