"The latest version of the of the AVX mount has a number of improvements over previous versions, including new motors with increased torque. These give improved tracking and provide more power to overcome slightly unbalanced setups. The mount also has larger base castings which provide greater stability when using heavier loads."  Pete Lawrence writing for BBC Sky @ Night Magazine

Quality problems
01 September 2024  | 

Like the previous review, I to had damage in transit of the plastic parts of the mount. Although replacement was not a problem with FLO, it does leave you with a sense of disappointment with Celestron' s use of materials when they claim in adverts how advanced the mount is. The dual mount options are also poorly thought out, as you have to remove and re-position the tension screws between Losmandy and vixen mounts, can be replaced (at some expense) to a compression type dual mount. Apart from those issues I look forward now to put it through its paces.

AVX after one year
08 January 2024  | 

Not so happy with the AVX mount. My copy got damaged during the transit. Actually the plastic they used is of very poor quality. It is very brittle at many spots.
I live quite far off, island. Lucky however I bought from FLO. They did their very best to help me, accepting a return and sending me another new one. I still had to pay some extra money with to the customs here to get my product.
The tripod is very sturdy.
I will update later yo include details about tracking with the AVX.
