Oh that’s quite a thing. Lucky it was new, mine is used so can’t do anything. but the device does work great, it’s just that I can’t use the dc outputs. So either I buy a brand new plus or I buy a 12v dc splitter cable. thanks for your input.

I just tested the outputs and I get 0V on the 4 outputs. Seems like they got burned somehow…

Thanks for your reply. Only the camera is connected. don’t have any other 12v gear no, only zwo cables. But I tried the 3 dC cables that came with the aap. as soon as I use another power supply into the cam’s body it lightens up and it’s recognized by the app. Can’t seem to make this 4 outputs from the aap work. Plus, there is no info at all regarding voltage or power consumption in the app as it should be. Maybe I can test for power with a voltmeter.

Hi There. Very happy owner of a brand new 2600mc pro, I can’t get it to work with my aap. ASIAIR is powered through a lifepo4 external battery, and the camera through the external aap’s dc output. My problem is that there is no power through those outputs. I did put the 4 of them “on” on the app but nothing. And the camera is not even recognized in the app. the voltage info (the ins and outs) says n/a… output from the battery is 12V@8A max so plenty of power. thanks for your input.

That’s a very nice set up. What’s the battery sir? Looks tiny for a 12v.

30s That’s pretty good though. More than enough I think Is guiding possible with an altaz ?

Any try outs with cameras ? Not crazy long exposures but just to see if the mount can track enough for simple ap.

I’ve read here and there that this mount is not suitable if you don’t guide, is that true? i don’t guide and don’t intend to for now so I was wondering if that moiint would be a good choice.

Small question regarding the EP weight. Is it not supposed to solve the Bino balance issue right? how does it work? Because of you balance your scope with it installed, as soon as you take off the EP the scope will go loose.

Just saw it on fcbk and on their website. A bit overpriced for me, was expecting 800-900 max but given the current worldwide sh** show I presume it is acceptable. dont see the manual online. I hope it will be available so we can have a small taste of what’s the motor system is capable of,how it is working with nexus…etc

Hi. to the lucky testers, did you try some imaging ? how long should we be hoping for exposure time? I’ve read a long time ago that 30-35s should to do it. thx

Beautiful !! Just as I was starting to figure something out for mine. balancing is really critical on that mount, and I would say it’s a weak point. That and the lack of locking on the alt axis. Break is pretty strong but still only a break. But As someone said earlier, placing the instrument vertically (at zenith) helps maintaining balance while changing configuration. btw I saw the pictures of the certification on your fcbk page, release looks pretty close to me… How do you see the production and the materials supply? Given how unstable is everything at the moment..

Very interesting topic indeed this balancing thing with the az100. for me it’s the biggest issue with that almost perfect mount. i also am having troubles finding the correct balance when changing ep or adding a Gpc on my bv. that alt lock doesn’t really lock anything, it’s acting more like a brake than a actual lock. I have to crank it down together with the alt adj. to keep the scope steady and sometimes it’s not enough… Balancing is done with a bino with pano 24 on a tsa120

Hey Steve. Thanks for Feedback it was exactly what I was asking for 👍 indeed you’re right about the height of the tripod and using or not the full legs length. I tend to think exactly the same. I’ll have to take some measurements on my uni 18 to see what is the actual height. did you use an eq6 mount adaptor for the Rowan? As I don’t think Avalon makes a specific Rowan one.

Thanks for your input santos. The 110 was not high enough? I’m wondering , It looks like the rubber feet are screwed to the tripod. What’s the thread? thanks
