Watched this vid a few weeks back. Clutch system looks cryptic, but like all gear - just need to get used to the new...
I've been following the discussions on CloudyNights and I also joined the Google Groups for the mount to track issues. Like almost all new systems there's issues to be sorted out, but from what I can see that's happening.

The G11 was my first mount and I feel if I can work through using it, I can probably handle anything else. After I get it setup in the dome I'm not sure how much I'll have to touch the clutch system anyway. Time will tell.

Indeed. If it does live up to the specs (and so far it seems to be doing so), then it's going to be a disruptor in the market. It's got to get past the "new kid on the block" stigma first and of course the Made in China comments.
