This right angle viewer is easy to use and is a real lower back saver. I highly recommend it.
I bought both the Z and V mounts and was seriously impressed how sturdy they are. The locking screws (if that’s what they are called) do exactly that. With minimal effort they lock the mounts at the required angle and, so far, I haven’t noticed any slippage. They are lightweight and compact, which is ideal when I travel abroad and am limited for both space and weight.
I like this headlamp so much I bought two of them! This is a great headlamp for astro work. The red LEDs are perfect for night photography and the white light is powerful enough to guide me out of my locations. I keep one in my camera bag and one in my car,
Fast delivery and in very good conditions. Portable with light weight, they are always in my camera bag, thanks.
It took me a bit practice to learn aligning the motor axis with the polaris, but after then even 135mm focal length is possible with 4 minutes of exposure without any stars moving in the sky, I find it really awesome! It's small, easy to handle, and the battery lifetime is also great.
5 stars from my side!
Very durable, flexible, practical function.
Makes you create endless macro photography.
Just loving it more and more.
Highly recommended 👍

Maximising the success while taking MilkyWay photos is and always will be a fine balance between Polar alignment and camera stability and if you don’t do both to the best oh your ability then the final image will suffer.
The Benro 3 Way Geared Head ticks both box’s stability and ease of use.
controlling the polar alignment with the BENRO GD3WH Is supper easy as it offers easy to use fine adjustments on all 3 axis’s without sacrificing stability or quality. it is fantastic quick and easy to use,.
as a result of using Benro 3 way Head my polar alignment has a precision thst I have never been able to achieve on a wedge or a ball-head and the quality of my final image has improved.
The biggest plus this compleat package brings to me personally is if I want to change my shooting position part way through I can, using the Benro 3Way Geard Head and the Move Shoot Move laser I compleat polar alinement in less lab 2 minutes.
The Ioptron laser kit allows me to quickly align my tracker with Polaris so I may spend more time taking my intended sky object.
I bought the star focus filter. The product is very well made and is very helpful to focus on the stars. It is a must for astrophotography. Customer support is very prompt and helpful. I highly recommend this product and this company. I will be looking at other items they make and I'm sure I'll buy more from them.
Using this made it easy to align the Star Adventurer 2i by getting it close to Polaris. It was then easy to do a final alignment with the polar scope because Polaris was easily visible and only slightly out of position. Really pleased I purchased this.
Performs well with a stock digital camera in Bortle class 4-6 where I have used it.
Step-up rings can be bought everywhere as well as 82mm lenscap for darkframes and bias. I also got a 82mm metall lenshood on ebay. This will simplify the use of lens warmer/dew heater band.
What I love about this product aside from its price, is the fact that it has separate controls for RED and WHITE light - no fiddling around in the dark and inadvertently ending up with a bright white light! Ideal would be to get rid of the flashing option.
The filter worked exactly as I had seen on various YouTube videos. Really helped with stars in the deep sky. If you want to make manual focusing a cinch, then get these filters. They are especially helpful if you’re farsighted and have to wear corrective lenses to see objects up close like on a live view screen if a DSLR. This filter will take the guesswork out of whether you’re seeing a truly sharp object or not. Great product and I would certainly but it again.
The Star Focus Filter is really a help whilst focussing on the stars. Not an almost but a yes sharp result 👍
Seems to me Move-Shoot-Move always get the point:
Very easy to use and high quality per price product.
This is one example, easy to use, very sharp focus in 99% of focal leghts!
Does what it says on the tin, I find with the basic lightweight setup you really are best leaving it for shooting wide, I tried up to 70mm and while the stars were still sharp at 2 minutes, the level alignment wasn’t great.
It can be made easier with the V plate as you do need to start off level before pointing upwards. Otherwise your framing will become off after a number of shots.
Superb piece of kit. Highly versatile. Money very well spent.
Made polar alignment incredibly easy. After using the laser, Polaris was right in the finder scope field of view, easy to find and refine. Complete polar alignment took less than a minute - incredible!
It's great how such a small and manageable tracker can be so precise
I absolutely love how easy this laser kit makes it to do a quick polar alignment! I turn the laser on while I level the mount and get it pointed at Polaris! Then I use my ASI Air to finish the polar alignment! So much quicker and easier than before. No more cranking my head around to look through the polar scope! Love it!
