I'm building a dobsonian mount for my DIY goto project, not sure what kind of lazy susan to get, tube is a 200p skywatcher
I've come across three types on ebay so far
(sorry about large images , can;t figure out how to set max width for image uploads )
Can I please get any advice on what type to use?
thank you.
1. This seems like the obvious logical choice but I've seen some videos on youtube with not so smooth operation which worries me a bit if that's the case generally with these bearings?
2.

Thanks John,
Shouldn't be hard to find one for the weight I needed as larger ones are rated nearly 200-300kg , I was more worried about the smoothness of the rotation from amazon reviews it seems like the type 1 bearings are either hit or a miss so I guess I'll give them a miss and go with type 2 which has decent reviews.
