You have been very helpful with a very detailed review on az5.I think i am going for the az5 head instead of the az4 primarily because of the slow motion controls and the its lightweight pillar..I am going to use it with an sw ed80 and sw 130 pds.They both weigh around 4-5 kg with their accessories.

It seems great and stable.Good thing about it doesn't weigh much more and keeps a refractor clear off the mount.
Hope this setup suits you better and the az5 even more.How does it fare compared to the az4 after some time you have it?Any updates on it?

Nice thanks..
I am looking forward to see how it stays on the pillar with the steel tripod.(vibrations,etc.)

Nice setup with the steel tripod..Can
you describe how it behaves when not using the slow motion controls?Is it as smooth as an AZ4 is supposed to be?
I am between this and an az4 on this tripod or on a star discovery tripod(1.5" steel tripod)mounting an ED80 on it.Any additional feedback would be very helpful..

I plan using it on the eq5 tripod like yours or the SW Star Discovery tripod.its a steel tripod but lighter and quite stable as it has 1.5" steel legs.on one of these deciding with both stability and portability in mind.
