Received a AM5 mount Thursday and got a chance to do a little visual last night. So far impressed with it , light and compact but solid. Mount seems easily capable with smaller refractors and 8” SCT”s, the tripod probably is a little short for taller people for visual. For larger scopes I’d feel more comfortable with the expected counterweight system Zwo will be releasing installed and a tripod with a wider footprint ( the William Optics Mortar tri-pier would be a option)
