Right. But it is the same as the SkyWatcher branded version, which has been in the hands of users for a while.

OP: There are several threads about it...try a good search.

I recently got mine and I have to say I am impressed.

Once my ATRC8 show up I will see how well it works.

Two things:

The power read out is incorrect and shows 20 volts.

The polor scope 'cones' and is not exactly centered. You can center the cross hairs and it is not out of center very much.

More to come!

I had the same reading on my first hand controller on my azeq6gt.I changed it under guarantee.
The new one shows the voltage as it should.
11.9v.
Anyhow it's only a matter of the internal voltmeter most probably.
