AP also have plans for homing-limit switches on the 1600. It's a kit that you bolt on. A fraction of the price of the encoders, but still giving those homing and safety stop features that we love on the SB mounts. See the 3600 page - they've been out for a while on that mount.

Hi Logan,
Are you supposed to tighten those clutches when tracking? I thought they were there only for loading/unloading the mount. I'll check that out. I just read the manual on this point. Wow, Duh. Read the manual eh? I'll tighten them now!
I'll look at that kit for the 3600 to get an idea of these homing switches.
Thanks,
Greg.
