Only received 1 box, Amazon reps don't understand the problem
Seems great, but since Amazon refuses to give me the tripod, counter weights and power supply it's useless.I see many others with the same problem, Amazon is this a joke? Open your eyes, ship complete.

I really love this mount. It works really well for AP, but is quite a learning curve
Aside form the great performance and smooth tracking there are a few things that could be considered as cons. The polar alignment reticle light is over powering. I cannot see a single star. The trick is to align with the mount off and point a dim red light through anterior finder scope hole-it works. I have read that it can be adjusted with hand controller and if this is true I will come back and update this. After trying to learn polar alignment I am considering it to be some esoteric art form. You seriously need someone to show you how to do it and every You tuber have different ways of doing it-which seems to be one of those things that doesn't add up but works. The instructions might as well be in a different language. I have not yet mastered polar alignment-I have already determined a local astronomical society and hope they will help me more on this. I still managed to get some really good images when somehow I luckily managed to polar align it. If your really considering on buy this mount-do it. I have zero regrets. Well built and beautifully made.Update. Once you get polar alignment handled, it gets easier. Once you hit 50% payload weight coma starts to appear in the images. I am trying to get a good auto-guiding setup, but I had issues with ZWO product so that will have to wait. I bought a 120mm refractor and already I can tell that the mount moves a tiny bit slower. I am hoping that auto-guiding setup will correct it.
