Next version suggestion

Njp

Hi, I like the look and capabilities of the AM5 but I will not buy it in its current form. If you added proper cable management so that no cables are attached to the moving parts of the Mount and allowed cables to pass through the Mount from the bottom, fixed area up to the saddle like on my current ioptron CEM40 then I would buy it straight away as a portable mount for my next rig. Please can you consider this for your next version or next Mount. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback, and will convey to the team.

A Wi-Fi dongle would solve mount to AIR or Raspberry. Just posted question about EQ6-Ri Pro/Dongle. This is a no brainer!

gbellman I use ethernet as far more reliable and besides a dongle would need power as does other equipment. On my current setup I have no trailing cables at all.

Being able to set a user-defined park position would be helpful. In Alt/Az mode, the home position does not allow one to store the mount in the case. One needs to manually slew the mount to zenith so it will fit in the storage case.

The team is working on the park position feature.
