Unboxing the Player One Poseidon-C (IMX571) Cooled Color Camera

Quick look at the Player One Poseidon-C Color Cooled Camera. I am in the process of setting up a second astro rig and needed a comera for it. Planning to do one shot color again for a while, and it has been a few years since ive used one. I previously used a ZWO ASI071MC. So I decided to try something new, instead of the ZWO ASI2600MC, which I almost got.
I've seen good things about this Player One camera, and it cost a bit less.
This is a quick video of unboxing the camera, and attaching my filter drawer and rotator to achieve 55mm back focus.

I have that camera and been using it for over a year now. Love it to bits.

@@Wheeljack678 awesome! I've only had a chance to use it once, but really impressive in how it performed in suboptimal conditions. Bortle 8, no filter, heavy moon, but still can't wait to put it through it's paces instagram.com/p/DEn7fZjsb6W/?igsh=dHNsY3Z1NWFxODcz

Your video was spot on, I'm about to buy this same model, it will be my first dedicated cooled camera, could you please tell me the positive and negative points? And which one behaves better compared to the ASI2600MC?

[@Brentless]

So i haven't used the ASI2600MC, but I did previously have an ASI071MC. But this feels every bit like I expected the ZWO equivalent to operate. I have the 2600MM so performance wise it feels like the color equivalent of that one. I fully endorse this one as a "cheaper but just as powerful" version. I've had a chance to use it several times and have been super impressed with how it has performed. Here are some recents from my Bortle ~8 home (haven't been able to get out to dark site with it yet). instagram.com/p/DFS5uenu7hj/?igsh=MTlxZHYxMjdlbDlxcQ== instagram.com/p/DFLuhv4SceB/?igsh=bzA3MHpmc3poYml5 instagram.com/p/DFDhYHMuWDH/?igsh=MWxsaGE1aGZmZm1vYg== instagram.com/p/DFI5zlMySGG/?igsh=Z2V6NnMyY3ptb2t5

Did you order from China? How long did it take to receive? Was communication good with this company? Thanks.

[@Brentless]

@@KJRitch ordered straight from Player One (so came from China) on a Thursday. Received tracking almost immediately. Arrived at my door 6 days later with a brief weather delay in Chicago otherwise would been 4 days. DHL provided clear tracking on where it was the whole time.
