GPD2 with Syncan

I am selling a GPD2 mount with Synscan goto controller and hardware and an ADM dual saddle. I got it new and it has performed fabulously.
The vixen build quality is light years ahead of other EQ5 style mounts and allows for a heavier payload than lesser variants.
The synscan kit runs a very good goto system with smooth motors.
The ADM dual saddle allows for use of both Vixen and Losmandy dovetails and provides a very secure fit.

I have enjoyed using this mount and was amazed at how rock solid is has been for such a portable mount. I was able to compare it to a CG5 and honestly, there was no comparison in the build quality.
The synscan system has an ST4 guider port and offers 3 star alignment.
I have only used it on a pier, so it has no tripod. It has been a dream to put on the pier (much to a friends envy when he was hefting an NEQ6).

I'll sell it for $1000 AUD plus shipping. As I am in New Zealand the shipping to AUS will be about $120 AUD (tracked). If you are in NZ contact me for a local shipping quote.
