QHY5-III 290M Mono Guide Camera

Basically identical to the ZWO ASI290MM Mini but has the advantage of a USB3.0 interface so it supports a much higher frame rate.

I just got this back from QHY warranty after the USB port was damaged. I did a quick test and its working fine now.

Comes in the original packaging with all the accessories:
-QHY5-III 290 Mono Camera
-1.25" extension tube
-C mount adapter
-Parfocal ring
-1.5m USB3.0 cable
-1.5m 5pin LEMO to ST-4 cable

$325

Located in South Brisbane, but happy to post as well.
