SW AZ GTi Mount - Handset Question?

[hadyn42]

Hello Guys

Could someone help me please, I am about to purchase a SW AZ Gti mount and was wondering can I use my Version 3  Synscan handset with it that I currently use with my HEQ5 and NEQ6, along with the proper handset cable of course?

Best regards,

Your retailer should be able to tell you.  Does the SW AZ Gti mount say it comes with Synscan handset, if so I would presume yes you can.

I agree with Carole, the question should be directed to the retailer, if that were to FLO I am sure they would be able to answer without fuss. Having used them myself from much greater distance over the sea, I wouldn't deal with anyone else.

I think the answer is yes, it can be used with a handset. The photos of the mount show a handset socket.

Hello Carole and Alan

Thanks for you messages.

I sent an email to FLO earlier and they have come back saying "We haven't had a chance to test any V3 Synscan handset controllers as yet, as we cant keep a mount in long enough"

I will try again soon.

Best regards,

Hello Peter

Thanks for the message. I think I may of read somewhere that they only work with V4 Synscan handsets, but I could reading too much stuff on other forums, ha, ha.

We've had confirmation a v3 Handset will work fine

We weren't 100% sure earlier but have now heard back from Sky-Watcher to confirm this.
