iOptron CubePro vs Skywatcher AZ GTi?

[ThomasLondon]

Hi,

I am looking for a mount which allows me to be up and watching within a couple of minutes. At the moment I am using a Manfrotto tripod with gear head which is great for that - but it does not track... 

I am looking primarily at the Skywatcher AZ GTi which seems to have a higher load capacity, vs the iOptron Cube Pro which has a more modern hand controller and built-in GPS so that I do not have to set the time every single time I start it.

Any views/ suggestinos on these or other mounts?

 

Best

Thomas

I have the AZ GTi and love it, no need for time / gps as it gets it from your phone. Can also double up as a very accomplished EQ mount for imaging.
