2-speed focuser for ED80?

Hi guys

I've got the standard original focuser on my Saxon ED80, and it has trouble (and I have trouble) with a heavy camera on the end of the 2x barlow + extension.

I have to lock the focuser in place so it doesn't slip when the telescope is pointing almost upwards, which means I can't focus!

And even when I do focus, the single speed makes it difficult to be precise.

What are my options and what the costs for a cheap but effective upgraded focuser?

Thanks
