All previous comments by reviewers about the significant benefits of this item have proved to be accurate. The big down side is the cost, an additional two thirds of the complete package, the original Ioptron wedge being reduced to a paperweight.

The real question is why Ioptron does not provide its own upgraded wedge as standard, and at a much reduced overall price. I have no experience of that upgrade and can go only on the illustrations. The best outcome would be for Ioptron to supply its 'complete' kit with no wedge and allow customers to choose the William's version which still looks better engineered.

To sum it up, this is expensive, but absolutely 💯 flawless quality. I have the Sky-Watcher staradventurer pro, and the wedge for that was rubbish, I'd had to cut out cardboard to stop it wobbling for God sake! Ha. This item is however beautifully crafted and doesn't wobble an inch. It really is night and day in terms of quality comparison between the two. It's expensive yes - but damn, it's well made!

Following various online reviews I decided to purchase this Wedge.... and the moment I received it I knew it was the right choice. It is beautifully crafted and engineered and the whole thing is built to last.. It is heavier but the gears and screws are solid and well made so I know it will hold my equipment and I will be able to make fine adjustments confidently. It is miles ahead of the wedge that comes with the Sky Guider Pro and will definitely serve me well for many years to come and with other future expansions. It's not cheap but if you can afford it then it's worth the investment in the long run and will save you a lot of frustration and give you more time to focus on capturing the night skies.

As soon as I opened the box I could tell that the William Optics wedge is a quality product.
The weight surprised me, as it is heavy and very solidly made.
In operation this is a vast improvement over the Star Adventurer wedge.
Overall fantastic prodyct

I recently bought the WO Wedge from FLO as an upgrade to my Skywatcher one used on the Star Adventurer, what a difference it makes, it is rock solid, easy to use and setup whilst polar aligning, Super fast delivery from FLO again.

Very well made, very stable, easy to use, and great value. A huge improvement on the standard wedge.
Great service from FLO.

Its all been said before but this must be the best upgrade for the Star Adventurer. Quick, easy and precise polar alignment compared to the Skywatcher wedge. Especially for altitude.
First class service from FLO.

Have not yet used this "in anger" however I have used it indoors as I got accustomed to it and was able to compare with the stock wedge that came with the Skyguider Pro. It is much more solidly built and feels reassuringly heavy. The controls seem to be more true than the iOptron equivalent; more finesse in the adjustment, once I got used to how they operate. Comfortably holds a Nikon D750 and Sigma 150-600 lens, sitting on a Manfrotto CF tripod. Very well machined, great controls. On the downside of this sturdiness is of course the extra weight, but swings and roundabouts. Certainly going to make my carryon luggage more of a challenge! A star off for me though, purely down to the price. Whilst it also comes with the extender for counterweights, I still think this is a lot of money for what it is.

When the postman handed me the box containing the WO wedge I knew from the weight that it was a serious piece of kit and it didn't disappoint when I opened the box. It is heavy, well made and orders of magnitude better than the original SW wedge. I intend to use it for my SW Star Adventurer and to convert my SW AZ GTi from AZ to Eq mode. Graham.

Not going to lie, this is exspensive. I upgraded to this after having bought the Skywatcher wedge in the interim as I couldn't afford this at the time. It's an absolute beast of a wedge, it took a little bit to get use too over the other wedges, but the finite adjustments you can do makes it worth it.
