ZEQ25GT Part 2

[@bobriggs6309]

Hi Paul, Just to say "thank you" for your efforts in behalf of us who are looking for the "right" mount. Your vid's and emails have assured me that I've chosen the "Z" for very good reasons. FedEx delivers mine today. Thanks again! Bob

Good question..the only time I get confused is in the Fall and Spring, when I always forget to update the mount settings. I use the Ipad App to synch the mount with the app's info...I open the setup menu in the hand controller, and synch the time with the app...then I check the positon of Polaris in the HC against the App to make sure it is within a minute of each other. I'm just OCD that way...:) Easy to view at night and compare with what I see I the polar scope also.

Hi Chris, sorry for the late reply, shows you how often I'm here..:) The iEQ45 power weight will work with about $3 worth of parts from your local hardware store to reduce the inner diameter from 28mm to 20mm. But, the power weight for the Mini Tower/iEq30 is the same shaft diameter as the ZEQ25 (20mm) and will work fine. Thanks for the nice comments, glad you're enjoying the mount. Paul

I really appreciate your time in putting these review videos together. Question: why do you need the iPad PA app since the hand controller shows the same thing in the PA menu? I have an iEQ-45 and have never been compelled to spend even a buck.99 on the iPad app.

Paul, thank you very much for the video and information. You sold me on the mount from these videos; I bought one after watching your video and then checking out the iOptron site. Build quality is great on the unit, i am very surprised since the price is very low for what it is/does... Do you happen to know if the iEQ45 battery counterweight will work for this mount? Thanks again for all of the great info and for "talking" me into it. For once, no buyers remorse here!

Hi paul, I got a question about this mount; 1. What is the difference between the ZEQ25GT and the ZEQ25 ''non GT'' ? 2.Does it will handle 27 lbs scope with ease? Thanks

[@daltonskygazer]

Paul, What is the weight of individual mount and tripod compents on this setup? Payload capacity is 27lbs? Thanks.

Enyoy your videos Paul, in fact they were instrumental in getting a ZEQ myself. However I have a few questions. Do you think a C8 is just too much for this little mount? Also, when your mount is turned on, do you hear a intermittent noise, almost like pulses to a motor and then some grinding? Maybe grinding too harsh, but kind of sounds like some ETX's I have heard. Just wondering. I have had the dreaded RA Overcurrent error my first night out, so trying to diagnose possibilities.
