Nice little Grab and Go - Cheap too!

Hi All,

A quick one, was reading another thread which had a link to this site on it, clicked it and browsed, found this....

Not a bad little grab and go, if you are Arnold S.

Wow.

Cheers

I wonder if they throw in the blue coat??

When I was looking for a guidescope recently it got down to a decision between your Arnold S. and an 80mm refractor. Since the Arnold S. was out of stock I ended up with the 80mm (oh...that and the fact that I couldn't find a 500lb counterweight) :P

The cat did a woopsie in my LX400 16" Betty! oooah!

Out of stock. Bummer :sadeyes:

[DavidU]

Is it just me or is the counter weights a tad small?
I want hair like that:D

[jjjnettie]

Get 2 and turn them into binos!!!

If I were going grab and go I'd still probably go for something a little bigger.. aperture matters.. :)

Back in 2002 I pressed my LX200 12" GPS OTA+forks overhead to arms length 8 times in a row just for fun :P ...it felt harder than expected not only because it was an awkward large shape with poor hand holds but also because I had to do it slowly for fear of dropping what was then a $10 000 scope! :scared: :screwy:

So given this setup is worth $80K it would be dam hard to carry around I recon :question:...just out of shear nerves of dropping anything :lol:

Gee your strong Mike.;)
me....I find it hard lifting a 5kg counter weight. LOL I get my kids to carry them for me.

[strongmanmike]

well...I "was" :rolleyes:



From 14 years experience designing fitness and weight training programs for women, I found it was usually all in your minds, you guys are usually a lot stronger than you think once the inner beast-ette is released :thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

I used to put in a good days work when I was younger Mike.
Could go one for one with the blokes I've worked with. LOL

[Screwdriverone]

I reckon you probably could grab and go this one Mike, I should have though to say Mike S instead of Arnold S, sorry about that....

Cheers

Is that the 20" version they have pictured there ?.. It looks way to big to be a 16"

THey clearly photoshopped the guy to make him tiny, and decided to give him that outragous hairdo while they were at it.
