Hi,
I have a new GPD2,
the finderscope is marked made in china, the mount made in japan.
Performance is excellent. My guiding corrections are substantially better than my old - now gone EQ6 - the worst guiding performance of the Vixen is 3 times better than the EQ6, and the best 7 times better, and it is still not 100% tuned.
It is a quality mount. I am aware of 1 fellow in the US who had problems, but did have some private emails with him. The problem was not with the mount per se, but rather that there had been incorrect assembly at the Japanese factory, and he received no support from his local agent or Vixen Japan....
hope this helps,
cheers
Gary
