Does anyone have any data on backlash with Moonlite 2 Inch and 2.5 inch CR focusers?

practically zero. I have over a dozen moonlite focusers, at least 1 of each model and cannot tell any backlash at all

I have three Moonlite focusers fitted on a 10" Meade LX200R, an ES ED127, and an ES ED80 Essential Series.  All three display no backlash.

Moonlite focusers are Crayfords. There should be no backlash.
