I've had my AM5 and ASIair Plus for the last couple of weeks. This is basically a premium mount for small to medium size scopes. It is the only mount I have ever bought that I didn't have to take completely apart and fix it. It just works so perfectly each and every time. I will probably never buy a mount with worms in it again!

I just got mine and the ASIair, you guys did an amazing job in the development of this mount. Now if you can only make a device to clear the skies :)

Very interesting.

Congratulations, ZWO! Great video. My AM5 arrived last week. With changes in the weather I have only been out imaging for three nights so far, but this has become my favorite mount (I own three other mounts). The AM5 is so easy to setup, polar align, and run. Guiding is fantastic. Amazing engineering and design.

WOW!! We are so happy to hear this, thanks for your recognition and support!

I am very impressed with the video it awesome to see how it is built. I am so glad that I have received my AM5 last week. 🙂

Mine arrived yesterday. Couldn’t use due to clouds but the quality feels very premium.

[@zwoastro]

Thanks for order!

Wonderful mount! If you're new to AM5 know that it is not recommended to use below 5F. Important for me here at 2.1F currently but that is fleeting here in the southern USA; but if you live in the northern states (Wyoming, Minnesota,Vermont, etc.) or Canada something to consider.
