  • I have this exact scope and mount. Often these mounts are loud when you first get them due to thick Chinese grease, and the fact they are often not well adjusted in the factory and so the gears bind somewhat. I dismantled mine and serviced it, re-greasing with decent grease, and re-adjusted the tension of the worm gears. Now sounds much smoother/quieter.

  • @ukjim thanks to share this i will try it.

  • Cool, thanks for posting! I just bought the 8" version. Is the slewing really as loud as it sounds in this video? Have you had any problems with the tube sliding off the mount? The two screws that hold the tube make me a little nervous. Seems like if they got even a little loose the tube would come falling down.

  • @atcnick no really ithing you heard the noise because was on high speed slew(9) and very close when i make the video,no problems with mount

  • have an 8" XLT for my CG5. Its loud yes but you can hardly hear it past 10ft away. Its a nice solid mount.

  • @andysim232 yes is true but when tracking a objet is very smooth and i start rediscovering after some use .i love it and for my budget i love it more.

see all
