Brilliant! And at a price point of other traditional mounts with older/bulkier technology.
At $1500.00 it is not cheap. But it seems well built, and much more practical than the competition.
I'll be getting one.
Thanks for making it.

Can it bear weight of celestron 8 inch

[@dadwhitsett]

I have the AM5. The max weight capacity of the AM3 is around 28 pounds. The C8 weighs ~12 pounds. Add weight of camera, tracking scope probably adds 6 to 12 pounds. So I would say yes. The trick is to use the counterweight and have a good tripod. If using the carbon fiber ZWO tripod stabilize it with additional basket weight.
