Awesome mount!

Very great product works well. Shipping was fast. I am truly impressed with this mount.

Great mount

Great Mount

Purchased to take advantage of increased weight capacity.  Easy to use, works great.  Weight is easily manageable.  Very happy.

I purchased 3 AVX mounts along with several larger for heavier scopes. I needed more counterweights since this will hold a C11" and works well with that mount for visual use. It is superb with an 9.25" either visually or photographically. There is a post on FB SCTs that shows what a C9.25 and the AVX are capable of, suggest you check it out! And it was not the HD EDGE it was the XLT version, loses nothing photographically to the HD...interesting. I put a C9.25 on one of my AVX mounts and the damp time at 427x was only .5 seconds...this is sturdy! Alright, I put the SkySync GPS module on this and others, fabulous addition. A must have in my opinion. I like the AVX over the CGEMs that I have for three reasons, lighter weight but still very capable, the bearings in the DEC axis are sealed while in the CGEM (II) they are open to dust. There is a little friction in the axis that some might find objectionable, not so when loaded with a scope and it means that you can retain balance when switching eyepieces, e.g. a light 1 1/4" to a heavy 2". With the CGEMs it throws the entire balance off. I also added the Polar axis optical finder...it's great. If I set any mount up with a solid level and perfect polar alignment the gotos are perfect if I do a 2 star + a calibration star or two. Overall this mount is superb for imaging right up to a C9.25. Imagers would only want to put an 80mm APO on this but that's untrue. This IS a very capable mount! So, are there any takeaways? Yes...there is no level built into the mount. I made my own, see attached images and it works beautifully. Celestron needs to add a bubble level to the AVX. There are no other faults. The hand controller is more intuitive than the SkyWatcher controller. I have those mounts/controls as well and one must verify the GoTo several times before the scope will actually slew to the object, redundant. If you are in the market for a good mount that has a lot going for it then by all means the AVX is a great mount. Adorama sales are tops in the business as well!

GREAT MOUNT FOR VISUAL OR IMAGING USE!

Perfect mount, been enjoying it immensely.

Perfect mount

Perfect mount, even at higher price. 
We?ve been struggling with a bad mount for several years. Finally decided to purchase this one and what a joy it?s been! Don?t hesitate and get it!

Perfection

Good advanced mount. Easy to use and fairly lightweight for portability, recommend it over the CGEM2 mount for that reason for smaller tubes.

Beware though the inputs for the declination motor control to motor are VERY loose. I returned one thinking the motor was faulty but it turns out the input was just loose enough to cut out when turning. Replacement has the same problem but not as bad. Feels odd to stick some tape on such a spendy mount.

Good mount. Beware loose dec port inputs.

I upgraded my mount from a celestron evolution mount because I wanted to the ability to add a guide camera. The tracking is very steady, allowing for excellent images.

Celestron Advanced Mount

Thanks

Easy to use. Satisfaction guaranteed with this purchase

Gateway to the sky

Perfect mount for my Lunt 60mm solar telescope.

Great Lightweight Mount!

love it got some nice Orion Nebula photos on my first try. Didn't expect that much but on the first try wow what a difference Thank you for shipping it quick so I can enjoy the night sky

Better than expected

very well built, easy to interface with laptop once you download software

VX mount

I purchased the Celestron AVX to replace my Celestron evo. So far it is working well. It is helpful to be able to easily polar line. This mount is slightly heavier than the evo mount slightly more work to set it up and more stable.

Avx to replace Evo

Excellent mount for my Celestron 8 se and accessories.

Works just fine so far, used it only 2x due to weather conditions. Looking forward to many nights and days for planetary and solar viewing!

Totally frustrated that the power supply for the drive is only designed to be plugged into a automobile cigarette lighter.  There was no power brick to plug into line power.  Kind of ridiculous.  Rest of package was as expected.

Tripod with electric drive - lacks appropriate power supply.

Great package.  Could use with clearer instructions for setup, especially related to eyepieces.

6" Refractor with kit

Excellent mount.  Very easy to assemble.  It's pretty heavy assembled but I'm able to move it pretty easy and don't have to take the head off the tripod.

Gracias

Great quality however I need to use it moving to Florida

Great quality

The mount looks really good.  However your online advertisement was a little misleading.  Your ad still states that you are expecting these kits to come into your warehouse any day now.  The same thing it said when I purchased the whole kit in mid march.  The telescope is on backorder and from indications in talking with other telescope outlets it could be 2-6 months.  So it is very hard to tell you how the mount works when the essential piece of the kit is backordered.  It is hard to recommend something that I have not received yet.

AVX Mount minus telescope.

The AVX mount is even more substantial in weight, strength, and stability than I expected. It has plenty of capacity for my 8? SCT along with guide scope and other accessories. I added an extra counterweight for balanced slewing which it does smoothly. Couldn?t be happier with the service from Adorama and the speed at getting the product to me.

Adorama Offers Great Service.

Extremely sturdy, 30 lbs max capacity. Haven’t powered it on yet, still waiting on the OTA. I did get the polar scope and aligning it was a piece of cake.

AVX mount for 8” HD SCT

Great mount, timely delivery can’t wait for the ITS to be delivered.

was somewhat skeptical with all the scopes on the market so went with the advanced vx mount with 8'' newtonion and i must say one of the best scopes i have ever used . once polar aligned tracking is spot on   with the star sense auto align very pleased with my purchase.

very impressed

Great product. Back focus of 55mm works perfectly with it (hard to find that documented anywhere).

Perfect flattener for Versa 108 ED APO

Great light weight low cost versatile mount
