Take a look what EzyStyles and many others have turned out with this mount. I think even discussing this mount on this forum is giving it more credibility then it is due. Given there is no real data from any tests with this mount. An more than likely it is made in the same factory where the EQ6 is made. Seriously manufacturers who want to place such restrictions on distribution dont deserve the air time we give them.

If you really want a Celestron or Meade (who have similar restrictions but they dont use one distributor only) then you could easily buy through various methods from the US or HK or Used market from overseas.

There are restrictions on Vixen imports . But they are much better gear than anything Celestron or Meade too.
