Your screen shot doesn’t really tell how well your mount is performing plus one nights guiding isn’t a good test either
To get a true indication you need to guide over many nights as atmospheric conditions vary so much plus imaging in different parts of the sky can affect performance ( eg lower altitudes )
But looking at your total error of around 1 arc sec , your on the right track
I’m not sure of the capabilities of this smaller EQ3 mount but time will tell with more testing
Hopefully folk can chime in who have a similar mount
Alternatively you can join the PHD2 forum and upload your log files so they can be assessed ( if you can be bothered )
The main thing with PHD2 apart from getting your mount balanced correctly in Dec and Ra is to get a good calibration at Dec=0 , near meridian
Also one thing I’ve noticed is that your using a colour camera as a guide camera , it does work but a mono ( ZWO120MM ) camera will detect better guide stars to lock onto plus has a lower noise threshold
