Hi,
After my positive test with a Canon 300 mm lens on my Star Adventurer mount I'm now looking for a small and easy transportable GOTO mount and not too expensive.
Demands:
Low cost, < 500 Euro
Load: < 5 kg
High precision: < ? max one minute exposure time and a 300 mm high quality lens
Weight: < 5 kg
I like the iOptron CubePro which is said to have worm gear of brass. The SkyWatcher allview mount looks good to me, but I think the gears are too simple. Or any of you who have diassembled and look into what's there?
I have made a list of links to small GOTO mounts:

Some of them are for sure toys. Some mounts that cost more and weight more than my demands above.
