Coming from a GEM28 I'm absolutely amazed at what I've been able to do with my AM5. I'm only 2 years into the hobby and this mount removed so much frustration. Definitely recommend 1s guiding, I'm currently at .5s most nights
One of the best mounts I've bought, this one is a keeper, I love mine! Has never failed to give me excellent guiding (always under 1 most of the time under .6)
I’ve had the AM5 for a while now and I love it. Made everything so much easier. Guiding is great. ZWO says don’t mount the ASI Air on the AM5 due to possible bumping. I have two spiders living in my car that are way to fast for me to catch. Lol. Have fun.
The soon to be released AM3 is going to be even more portable and $500 less expensive. At 17.6 lbs capacity without a counter weight, it should handle most portable set ups.
Congrats on the new mount. It's an awesome setup for travelling. Btw, you should try guiding at 1sec exposure. These new strain mounts benefit from quick guiding .
The am5 has been an absolute pleasure to use. Makes set up so quick and easy

Thanks! I'll try it next time I'm out!!
I guide at .5 sec. No issues so far.
Man, wish I could afford one. Maybe they might come down in price in the future.
Nice work
