Sky Watcher S20530 Star Adventurer Latitude (EQ) Base, Telescope Accessory, Black

I have mixed feelings about this EQ wedge. Whilst the build quality appeared good, the various set screws and adjusters are not the best quality. To reduce any slop, you have to almost over-tighten them, which will only introduce problems with further slop and accuracy down the line. I swapped the ones I was unhappy with for better quality fixings and am now happy. Took a few mins and well worth the effort.

Average piece of junk. It works... the 0 - 90 deg latitude scale is printed on the wrong side.Not great in terms of stability and steadiness.What I hear is that William Optics make a better wedge... that's the one to go for.

This is the ultimate symbol of poor engineering. Unless you're planning to use it to mount a feather, do yourself a favour and keep your money to spend on something excellent like the Williams Optics wedge. Talk about chalk and cheese!My skywatcher az-gti mount has also died after hardly any use. I pulled it apart to find shocking engineering - bits of metal grinding into the terribly designed bearing surfaces. No rescuing it... To the bin.I'm avoiding all skywatcher equipment like the plague after being burnt twice now.ProsNone really... Cheap but can you really define something as cheap if it's a waste of your money?!ConsNot designed to hold any weight well.Polar alignment is appalling as once aligned, if you try to lock the alignment, it puts it out of alignment.Very poor meshing of gears.
