Scopetech Mount Zero #2
Feature #2 : Friction and slow motion controls
Each axis has ball bearing, and worm gear and wheel. This is not a simple clutch. So no need to tighten/loosen once the friction is set. See a video. Free stop and ready to use slow motion controls. Convenient!
As shown in video, I can say the backlash-free feeling movement. So no stress even we try to move back and forth.
I tried to use last night. Steady and smooth. Very nice. And essential companions for old-fashioned star-hopping are constellation binoculars [Hinode] and map. Hinode is an another Scopetech product.
With Hinode binocular and map.
I will enjoy with this system for pleasing summer nights.
I also find out the product review video prepared by one of Japanese users. It is interesting to see his vibration comparison between Zero and Vixen Porta.
His is much nicer video. Enjoy it!~~

Looks like a great mount. Can you tell me which extension pillar is that in the video?
Yes, it does. I used Takahashi pillar in that video.
