Hi Dave,
I had a look at one of these at BTOW in Perth and it is quite easy to change from alt/az to equatorial, just unlock and turn a screw, which is fitted with a convenient handle. Just have to replace the dovetail bracket with counterweights. Easy as!
I was impressed with this mount and will be getting one from BTOW in the new year, just have to get through xmas first.
Cheers Peter
