Hey All, has anyone got any experience buying these models internationally? Quite a bit cheaper than zwo/qhy alternatives (2600mc and mm) but without local support and likely slightly worse build quality. Certainly makes it a bit more affordable to make the switch to mono or even upgrade my 533mc to an apsc camera with this brand.

Thanks in advance!!

Sam, as a former Touptek owner, I would never buy another Touptek camera again,I had a IMX224 that was dead on arrival, the replacement lasted 9 months till the USB socket failed. Touptek repaired it . 3months later the camera died completely, by then it was out of warranty. If it needs warranty service you have to pay to ship it back to China.
You get what you pay for.

Thanks for letting me know, how disappointing.

I have the Touptek 571, and have been using it for about 12 months. No issues with it with NINA. Cooling performance is the same as my ZWO cameras, and fit and finish is as good, if not slightly better.

Only real complaint I have is that there is no tilt adjustment which is a problem with my RASA, but its a great camera for the price.
