Review: Excellent grad-n-go mount - My go-to mount is just too much to get into for quick viewing and moving around the yard to get Northern and Southern views. The CG-4 isn't light but its not too heavy either. Looks just like the Skywatcher EQ-5 but with manual EQ controls. Point the mount towards Polaris, loosen the clutches to find the target and tracking is easy. A decent red dot finder works great. The mount is wonderfully steady with my130 Newt and 120 11kg refractor. Highly recommended. Wish I'd bought it first!
Review: pretty amazing what you can do with it - I bought this 11 years ago. Still works great. Tracks as well as is did the day i bought it. Finding the north star and aligning it is quite a challenge, especially in very dark skies... but that's part of the adventure! I've really not had heavy scopes on it, just my camera and a 70-200 lens. I was not expecting how much you can capture with just 200mm camera lens. Love this mount, it's worth every penny, even if pennies are worth less than they were 11 years ago :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Hardware
*by J***S on January 23, 2013*

Good solid equatorial mount that is easier to set up and start using than the one arm go-to mount. It handles my 8" Celestron scope just fine. I added the dual-axis motor drive and polar finder with not much problem and it tracks quite well. At least, better than the go-to mount. The gears can be adjusted with a hex key tool to make it easier or harder to turn the hand controls. The quick release levers for RA and DEC work great for moving it around fast. If adding the clock drive you will only be able to turn the declination by hand once clamped down. Of course you can use the buttons then but it is slow. My only complaint is the weight (35lbs) with counter-weights plus (15lbs) for the scope. I have to put it together in 3 trips. It all goes together quite easily anyway. The built in level makes it easy, just point the leg with the N on it at the north star and adjust your latitude to get a fairly accurate track. A polar scope will make it even more accurate.
