Interesting. I was looking at getting a Redcat51 but went with a Zenithstar61 because I wasn't sure I would be able to hook up an EAF to a helical style focuser. Good to know it can be done, thank you!
Nice video; thank you! Question: is the set up and function the same for Gen 2 Redcats? I ask because the part of the focus ring where the belt rides is separated from the rest of focus ring in your video., but he Gen 2 Redcats do not have that separated area for the belt to ride on the focus ring (going from photos).
This is RedCat 71 kit - RedCat 71 has integrated belt ring. RedCat 51 (v1 and v2) does not have integrated belt ring. But we provide 3d printed mxl ring instead, which comes on the top of helical focuser ring.
Awesome product man! 👊🏼🙏

I was sceptical regarding helical focusers at first, but now I prefer it to R&P since its less flex/tilt prone in my experience.
