Very fast delivery from FLO. Used my Sky-Watcher AZ5 Deluxe Alt-Azimuth stjörnufræðifjall once with my Mak 127. A great addition to my other mounts for daytime use. Easy to use, set up and to control..Thanks..

Bought with SW steel tripod and Star Travel 120/600 for grab and go star gazing. Solid mount copes easily with this set up.

First rate service from FLO as usual.

I've got this for my SW 80ED refractor. It does required a solid tripod. I've tried several photo tripods including some high ends but still it was a bit wobbly.
Eventually I've purchased used wooden surveyor tripod, which required some work to attached AZ5 to it, but the difference is significant. It doesn't wobbled even at high powers.
All in all great solution for grab&go, but make sure your tripod is strong enough.

First, kudos to FLO and DHL for brilliant service delivering this to the West Coast of Canada (Vancouver) in four days. The mount itself looks very good. I do not recommend the tripod purchased at about 100 pounds extra. While it was not evident from the FLO listing, the included manual makes clear that there are two possible tripods, the "Heavy Duty" and the "Portable". The tripod included with the kit is the "Portable" which should more accurately be described as the "Flimsy and useless." I had hoped to get a tripod I could use with my ZWO AM5 mount, but I would not use this tripod for that. The AZ5 I plan to use with my Skywatcher ED80, but using it with the supplied tripod would be recipe of misery. Pity the poor beginning astronomers who fall for this. Fortunately, I have a Manfrotto 475 mount that should work well. I do think FLO should have made the tripod options more clear and Skywatcher should not offer this tripod as an option.

Order equipment on a Wed and delivered to the US by Friday.

First time using FLO and I have to sya that their delivery was great coming the next day and all well packaged. The mount itself is very substantial but easy to mount on the correct tripod (remember it requires a 3/8 stud). Mine has a Startravel 102 fitted and it is precise in its movements with no apparent backlash, the short az control requires you to reach forward but this is remedied by the use of the extension rod. In all a great alt/az mount.

Just had my first light with the AZ5 delux mount sitting on stainless steel 3/8,the tripod wind felt like half a gale i was amazed how steady the moon was in my mak 102 at 54x

Bought this as an alternative mount for my skywatcher heritage 150p. My OTA weighs around 3.8kg and within the limis of the AZ5.

Smooth Alt Azi movement, points up into the zenith well. Stable tripod with no shakes on high power magnification. Good alternative mount..

Good slo-mo control,but has a lot of free play with clutch fully tightened on azimuth leading to vibes in the scopes
Returned an Az4 because of 'sticky' action and it looks like this may be returned also Flo are a very good company if only you could visit and try first or even talk to someone on the phone before a purchase instead of buying 'blind' !!

Bought the AZ5Mount for my Skywatcher 72ED.
The mount is heavy, good quality and very steady for my set-up.
Very easy to use, moves smooth in both axis , and when locked the slow motion control is very good.
I was able to oriented the scope in all the positions, and worked very well.
FLO were GREAT! Shipped very quickly (2-3days max) and communication and help was outstanding.
Highly recommend it.
