EQ3 and EQ5 Motor drives

[Kevdan]

Hello,

What is the difference between an EQ3 and an EQ5 motor drive, is it different gearing or something like that.

Only reason being I have found a site where the EQ5 motor drive is cheeper than an EQ3 drive and yes they are both genuine skywatcher and I think its the same picture used as I belive they are similar kits.

The two mounts have different gear ratios and the mounting point for the RA motor is different. The EQ5 motors won't work on the EQ3-2

Thanks for that,

I presumed it would be a gearing difference but wasn't sure.

Thanks, Kev.
