EQ6i Pro WiFi

01 December 2024 | Christian

What a great mount. Coming from an old used and abused EQ5, the new EQ6i Pro looked and felt like the Thor hammer. Is mesmerizing to see it while you unbox everything. It is massive, solid, and after I finished to assemble it, I fixed to it a C11 I de-forked from an old Nexstar GPS Alt/Az mount. Wow! Highly recommended with the WiFi module included, all operation from the phone. And as usual, great FLO service, with next day delivery.
