ASA DDM 85 - Six years and counting

[Corpze]

Made a video of my work horse - I don't see to many threads on the forums or any videos on youtube so I thought that i might make one.
I have no partnership with ASA or anything, just wanna give my 50 cents on how this works and how I set it up.

In conclusion - it is a fantastic mount that I never thought I come by, but it has been fantastic (not all the time, the manual was terrible a couple of years ago) and the gauding accuracy is amazing, which is why you wanna buy one of theese.

Nice! It's a pity you can't buy these anymore! I'm sure another member on here bought the last one a while ago.

I think @DaveS has one?

Yep, got one of those. @Datalord and I got the last two available, his was new, mine was Rupert's ex-demo from E-EyE.

And yes. it's a fantastic bit of kit.

Agreed. It's incredible. Over two years since I had my hands on my setup in Spain and it still just runs perfectly.

it is, and they have clearly taken a step from the amateur market, which is understandable with all new manufacturers and the competition going on in that segment.
I think the "cheapest" mount from ASA is the DDM 100 with a price of around 23.000 Euros.... quite steep.

I really hope they will keep supporting the software and the older mounts for a while though 😮
