Glad to hear the iPolar works allowing to easy and fast setup. This was another bonus which led me to the mount and will be much faster than drift aligning my current HEQ5 Pro.
Do people here have advice on the base they use? I’m tossing up between the iOptron tri pier or the heavier 360 version that has an anodised paint finish?

I use the Tri-Pier 360 which is very stable plus should I upgrade mounts down the track I'm future proofing myself. One mod that I recommend is getting a pier plate adapter as the standard mount to pier fitting is very fidly. I have the CEM70EC btw with guiding at around 0.23-0.30 RMS Error on average
