A beautiful unit indeed - if not a bit deep as it can potentially hit the bottom of the fork mount if you're not careful and have it carrying a camera or something longish. This is especially true if you're in polar mode rather than alt-az (as you have to hit zenith with is rarer).

I thought it would have been harder to hit the bottom of the forks if your in polar? Or am I mistaken?
