Anyone on IIS using one of these focusers ?

I'd be curious to know your impressions.

It looks and sounds like a Feathertouch HSM unit. Not the same but similar.

I just ordered one. At AUD$88.38 I am not risking much. I can doa write up once I receive it.

Oops. The website on Ali Express is misleading. It lists Oasis Electronic focuser plus a clamp for about $31. But they sent me an adapter for an FSQ??!! No electronic focuser.

I have requested a refund. The focuser seems to be worth $579 plus adapters.

Got to watch Aliexpress the ad picture often shows the complete item really cheap but when you go to order you need to select the correct picture one of several or you'll end up with not what you thought you where getting, very sneaky advertising by the sellers, recently I've noticed a lot of items are not that much cheaper than ordering from Amazon or Ebay especially when it comes to tech gear

Too true.
I’ ve opened a Paypal
dispute as their site does exactly what you said.
