- We are having people reporting to us that they want an actual human voice for the AM5 tutorial. Thus we re-made the video and lowered down the background music. Hope it is funnier to watch this time!
00:14 What's in the packaging box?
00:39 How to install the mount on the tripod?
01:33 How to adjust the latitude scale and azimuth scale?

I would like to see an AM7. This mount would handle larger/heavier telescopes. I would also like to see the AM7 mount to be heavier and taller. I bought a William Optics 132. I mounted it on my AM5 and so far the mount seems stable. I did use a weight on the screw in shaft and another weight in the bag below the mount. I would still feel more comfortable with an AM7 mount with higher weight capabilities and better stability. And I’d volunteer to try the new mount with my scope. Thank you.
Good video. Just got my kit set up. Don't forget to check for firmware updates!
amazing mount!!
1:56 why are you loosing those hex screws?
Why are you changing from 20 degrees to 55 degrees, what is the purpose?
3:32 what is the purpose to switch between Azimuth mode to equatorial mode?
This has me confused as well.
You don't need those iPolar cameras. The ASIAir has a great polar alignment routine that uses the main scope and camera.
3:04 “desired tracking speed”
I do not see any switch for tracking speed?
What are the speeds?
Track start speed? Track planet speed? Track sun speed?
how do you know if your ipolar camera is aligned when mounted to the vixen mount??
4:00 the app is not connecting to my cell, why?
Well what the guy does not clearly indicate this is not done in the app’s settings.
Instead,
Settings > connections > Wi-Fi > connect to AM5
With this type of mount why does it matter to change from azimuth mode to equatorial mode?
Looks great but where do I put my iPolar camera to align?
On your telescope dovetail or side vixen mount of the AM5 mount.
Could do without the music, it’s distracting and hard to follow along…. Might try not swallowing the mic next time too, good mics are cheap these days….
