[Gray] An 8" Dobsonian AND Celestron StarSense!! This deserves more than 5 stars, you really can't ask for anything better than this. As a beginner, the Starsense app makes quick, easy work of navigating the night sky. I feel like it would've taken me years to learn the sky and how to read star maps in order to see what I've seen with this scope/starsense combo, all in a matter of just a few nights. Not only is a dobsonian scope so highly desirable for their exceptional performance and low price, but with the addition of the starsense app, you get literal point and shoot directions. PLUS the app tells you a variety of information about every target, so you get to learn along the way which is really cool. With this 8" scope I can CLEARLY see the entire Andromeda galaxy and the other 2 galaxies above and below it. I would have NO idea where to look without the starsense. And for planetary viewing, the image sharpness is 2nd to none. Saturn & Jupiter are just jaw dropping to look at. The focuser is really nice to use and doesn't shake the entire scope when you adjust it like some cheaper tripod mounted scopes. There are carry handles on the optical tube and the base platform which make moving it extremely easy. Each piece only weighs about 20lbs individually so it's no big deal to move at all. I believe everyone should have a Dobsonian scope in their arsenal, and now that Celestron has released one with their starsense technology, this should be a no brainer go to scope for all. The scope comes with a 25mm plossl eye piece which is decent but has a narrow FOV. I also have a 15mm, 10mm, & 5mm (all by Celestron) with better FOV that really help make things pop. And Yes there are mixed reviews about Starsense, I have nothing bad to say about it. But there is literally no other technology like it, and to me, it's a game changer having that convenience and knowledge at your fingertips. Very much well worth it.

[0.37 lb] I bought this scope as an upgrade to my etx 90. I felt I needed a bigger scope for deep sky objects. I have only had this scope out about four or five times and it is awesome jumping from a 3.5 in to an 8-in scope let me tell you.! I was worried about not having tracking but it's a different type of experience it's a freedom that you don't get with a scope that has tracking . I like the fact that you just kind of grab it and look at something you don't have to push any buttons you don't have to program anything you don't even have to use the starsense, if you see something in the sky you want to check out grab it and move it over there. My skies are not very dark around here but I was still able to make out m13 more of a smudge due to light polluted skies but it was still cool, Andromeda Galaxy looked real good and of course the moon Saturn and Jupiter looked amazing, I needed a filter for the moon, it way too bright. The scope is not very hheav to move especially if you separate the base carrying them out one at a time is fine. I like the knobs to adjust the tension you can get it just right. The starsense works good it's accurate to the point where it will put the object in or near the field of view of a 24 mm eyepiece but I think I need to align it better. We did try a little astrophotography using a Sony crop sensor camera in the 2-in section of the focuser ( we did not have enough focus adjustment using the 1.25 adaptor) and we took a real nice picture of Saturn. If you are on the fence go for it you will not be disappointed

[0.37 lb] Got this for my Godox flash because the cold shoe mount flash bracket I had was unreliable garbage. This holds my flash perfectly and feels solidly built.

[Gray] Got a unique look that has worked out great for a short film.
Coupled perfectly with my SONY A6500.
Very happy!

[0.37 lb] Just what I needed, easy to order, prompt delivery.
Test went fine.
Looking forward to using for choir photos at my church.

[Gray] This lens heater does a good job keeping the lens warm. The thing you need to be aware of is that it draws almost 2 amps at any power level. Depleted my 20,000 mAh brick dry in about ten hours. Not a complaint, just an observation. Next time I won't turn it on until needed.

[Gray] This camera rig was very stable. I used it in the lower few settings and the only sturdiness issues I had were with the desk it was placed on.

[Gray] I needed a Bowens mount speedring for my Chimera softboxes and I wanted to avoid using adapters because that recessed the flash tube inside the bracket. Pretty thrilled this even exists and works perfectly for a low cost. I did ream out the holes a slight bit to let the rods slide in and out a bit easier but it's not a necessary step to take.

[Gray] Love it! It takes up very little room in my camera bag or purse and works exactly as advertised. I was surprised by how sturdy it is. Well-made. Very reasonable priced too.

[0.37 lb] I'm glad this item met my expectations. The case is also very nice. I included the pic of the door which was 30 ft away from the 80 watt RGB light. Focus works very well. The built-in light cutters will also be handy for shaping light when I use strobes for product and food photography.
