The dealer's comment was that since they both made the same noise that's just how they are. My comment was perhaps he had two bad samples and
I thought the EQ6 had a reputation for being fairly quiet.

Any EQ6 Pro users out there care to comment on their mount's tracking noise?

thanks,

Hi GB,

When I first recieved my EQ6 Pro I was worried with the noise it made while tracking as well. Everytime I slewed the mount the pitch would change and I thought I had a faulty EQ6. But I had read that other EQ6 owners experienced the same problem so I disregarded it.

They are still very quiet when being used and when being used out in the field, they're almost silent.
