Hey all,

What are your thoughts for this mount?

I am thinking to purchase it for my c6 hyperstar combo. It says payload 6kg should that be enough?

Thanks
Kle

For Visual or EAA, yes.  For AP, no.

Moving to the Mounts forum for a potentially better fit.

You mean to use it like this?

 

Standard AZ-GTi with an ST80 as a CW. THIS is how I did it.
