Has anyone here used one of these, please?

If so I'd be grateful for an opinion.  There are some glowing reviews on YouTube but they seem to be sponsored by the maker.

Pardon my ignorance, Knobby.  In my RAF days a SAM was a Surface to Air Missile.

As an alternative I've been guided to this

which  has the advantage of being clockwork and got a good workout in Sky at Night magazine last year.  A German friend has used one successfully.  Hmmm...

Yeah, I use one while on holiday's. Great little clockwork mount. I've used up to a 300mm telephoto lens with modded Canon 1000d. Image of orion taken with above and scutum star cloud with 80mm lens.

That's truly impressive, Nigella.  Thank you - and welcome to SGL.

Cheers, Knobby.  I must say I like the look of Nigella's results with the clockwork job.
