How do you qualify more prone to failure, they just don't unless user error or DOA. 3.2sec with 90mm? shouldn't star trail anyway, I shoot dslr only from tripod and I DO know, not just assume this.

Just make a barn door mount and be done with it if your expert opinion demands a manual mount, otherwise good luck finding a quality manual mount that isn't going to wobble or vibrate. A motorised eq mount is what the rest of the world uses for good reason and blackouts dont enter the equation.
