Solid construction. Very smooth.  A bit heavy, but three big bolts attach it to the tripod, so I move the scope in 3 pieces: OTA, mount, tripod.  Pretty easy and fast setup.

It works

CGX has lived up to expectations.  Excellent product

I would strongly recommend this product. (and Adorama)

I've had this mount for my second year now and I don't have a single complaint. It tracks so well that I don't need auto guiding unless I expose over 3 minutes. The GOTO is usually dead on also. I've used it in very warm weather and very cold weather (23º F) and it still tracks and finds the objects very well.
I use an Orion 8" astrograph telescope with DSLR and guiding camera and it handles that weight like it's nothing.
I definitly would recommend this mount to others.

Can't find any faults !

I love this mount,  I haven't done any imaging with it as of yet but I've set it up and slewed around and I'm very impressed
