Do you guys allow collections?

Yes, of course. But please let us know in advance so we can prepare your order and put it aside. 
And if you email before ordering we'll send you a free shipping code. 
HTH,

If you do, you will probably get an email saying something like, do you know that we currently don't have any in stock. Just reply back with, you would like to put on on back order.

This is what I had when I order one a few weeks ago.

The ETA is mid-September so you should receive yours before your hols  :smile:

Not good news I'm afraid  :blush:

Mid Sept has slipped to early October. Really sorry about this, I had hoped to update this thread last week but Skywatcher and their distributer were attending Photokina. 

Star Adventurer backorders currently outnumber any other product!

Oh really?

I was hoping to pop down and pick it up this week.

We ought to have had them by now but the delivery has been delayed. Sorry.

It is really frustrating but it is the same at all UK retailers (and most of Europe too)  :blush:

Its outside your control.

I've jury-rigged a weight using a long m8 bolt and a weight of something else for the time being.

I don't suppose you have an update on these at all?

Skywatcher's importer/distributer say this month's delivery has landed and should be ready for dispatch in 1-3 days but there is still a shortage of counterweight kits  :icon_scratch:

Our backordered counterweight kits will be dispatched in date-order but I fear we will need to wait until the next delivery (due December) before we can finally declare 100% stock. 

Fortunately most owners using DSLR cameras don't need the counterweight kit :smiley:

HTH,

We're struggling a bit to process what we have received (not quite as expected) but we should be on top of things and ready to dispatch backorders Monday or Tuesday. 

We also spoke with Skywatcher's distributor today, they say supply should become more reliable after next delivery. 

Apologies to anyone still waiting.

How would the Star Adventurer compare to an EQ3-2 with tracking motors for widefield DSLR AP? I really like the look of the Star Adventurer as it is a lot more portable than the EQ3-2 for not much more money. Are you giving up anything in the way of accuracy or is it only the lighter payload?

I was thinking this too now that the new EQ3-2 motor kit is available (with guide port).
