🌌 Advanced iOptron CubePro 8200 Computerized Mount: GPS-enabled High-Performance Device in Sleek Black Review

Well, I want to review this mount. For my money I only got a tripod. No mount. I have a rule that I broke this time: Always order astronomical gear from companies like OPT or Agena Astro. They know what they see and what they broadcast. The box I received has a label saying it is an Ioptron Cube Pro with GPS. Since Revain is not an astronomical company, it was not clear that the box was not big enough for the mount and tripod. A call to Revain resulted in "we are out of stock" and "return the…

CubePro is the best small iOptron mount. It has dual ball bearings and a set of aluminum and brass worm gears on both the azimuth and vertical axes that no other inexpensive mount has.

Goto is actually pretty accurate, especially after targeting 3…

First time reviewers should contact Ioptron. You will do it right. I have had no problems with this product and am very happy with its performance. It's not a premium star tracker, but you won't find a better device for the price. In fact, this device is comparable to devices at much higher prices. I made his own wedge and use it as an equatorial mount. The handset, the brains of the device, is very easy to use and understand. The backlight has different brightness levels and turns off after a…
