It states that the scope is actually balanced for a Parracorr plus up to a 600gram eyepiece. Pretty easy to make the adjustment in design simply by adjusting the diameter of the altitude bearing.
Plus it has a bungee and a bladder to fill with water for counterweight.
It also has 2 cables to stabilize it, so it is more of a "string scope" then a 1-pole only design. Should be pretty stable and hold collimation well by the look of it. Interesting to see any reviews.
Looks interesting - has lots of high-tech lightweight materials that might be hard for most ATMers to work with, making copying the design difficult.
Also, because it is a "travelscope" that fits into a backpack, you need to assemble many parts with a multi-tool on setup - I wonder how long this would take?
Because of the single pole design, the eyepiece would poke out directly to the side, making viewing at lower elevations perhaps a little uncomfortable.
I like the included stool.
