HEQ5PRO Mount

Since I am being clouded out, with no chance of viewing the moon, I am selling my HEQ5PRO mount. Mount is in good condition, comes with a cable to plug into a car lighter socket, has one counterweight which is 3.85lb or 1.75Kg.

Everything except the tripod is packed inside a Craftright box from Bunnings - included. Synscan hand controller is version 2.04.

Price for this mount as displayed is $750 plus shipping. Prefer local Sydney buyers as you will want to inspect and check out the mount. Hasn't been used for a number of years - but turned on fine and responds to controls to move and park.

Still available.

Still available - it is great as a portable mount. The tripod has velcro tabs on each leg, and a matching tab on the back of the handset - allows you to attach the handset conveniently without fumbling for it. All that you see in the photos is included - excepting the curtains of course.

Including extra counterweight

I found another counterweight in the garage - this one is 3.5Kg or 7.7lbs. It must have originally come with the mount, but I didn't use it since I was only using a 90mm Maksutov. The bore of the counterweight is 20.5mm. As the counterweight bar on the mount is 18mm, I will make a little PVC spacer so that the counterweight fits snugly.

Counterweight

I made the spacer this morning - here it is fitted to the counterweight. It locks on easily onto the counterweight bar. The counterweight is a bit scratched and a little rusted, but it is only a lump of metal.

A new HEQ5PRO would set you back $1799 from Bintel. Ok, my mount is an older model, but still works. Anyone interested?

Still available. The Craftright case itself is worth $69 from Bunnings. The older version handset v2.04 is not an issue if you are going to use EQMOD. Anyone interested? Make me an offer.

I can ship at cost, but it is recommended for someone to come and inspect it.

Hi John,

Can the controller firmware be upgraded to v3? or you have to go and buy a new one? Thanks.

Eric,

No, the v2 handsets were not upgradeable. If you want a v3, then a new handset is required.

This is available again - price is $750 including the extra counterweight.

This mount is sold!

For some reason, I cannot edit the original post to show that it is sold.
