Some issue with the names, but good view of the coarse installation. Positive about the telescope: The mount is more stable than the ones that usually come with the 114/900 Newtonians. What I miss is the alignment of the finder - and also a screw for locking the mount in azimuth.
@@yivonniesecozoomoptics The tripod isn't the problem for a 114/900 mm Newtonian, it is the mount. Many of these telescopes were sold with an EQ2-class mount, some even with an EQ1. Here, even a tripod with 200 kg payload wouldn't add much stability. The Astro-3, shown in your video and sometimes named "EQ3-1", is better, despite of the aluminum tripod. Btw, a well-collimated 114/900 can be used with a 5 mm eyepiece, resulting in 180x magnification.
JUST BOUGHT ONE . WISH IT WAS BLUE. I GOT A STEAL DEAL ON THIS TELESCOPE. $55.00 TOTAL COST ON EBAY BRAND NEW. SHIPPING FREE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE SELLER PULLED OFF NOT CHARGING SHIPPING. THE TELESCOPE WEIGHS 27 POUNDS . UPS CHARGES $46.00 TO SHIP 27 LBS. THIS SAME TELESCOPE SELLS FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN $100- 200.00. UNBELIEVABLE.

Thanks for your idea
A stable tripod is more suitable for high magnification telescopes ：）
