    I’m very happy and impressed with this unit. I replaced the old FS2 control unit on my mount and it performs very well. I have used the EQDirFi – Skywatcher wifi adapter and it works well with this. My mount is rated for 100 lbs and the EQDrive unit and supplied steppers handle it with no problem.
