eq5 very good (27/02/2024) -
Exceded my expectations Bought this as a replacement for an old eq2 I was using and it was great. Its so easy to set up and move into place. So I am now enjoying my telescope. The only downside for me is the weight. It's quite heavy for me but maybe not for others, but this keeps it very stable once in place. (21/08/2022) - Hamilton
Great value for money. Well made and sturdy, with a convenient polar scope and eyepeice holder included. Great value and service from Harrisons as you'd expect. (02/12/2021) Peter Power - Dorset.
Am very happy with the EQ5 mount and tripod, it is a really substantial piece of kit! Thanks for speedy service and delivery from Harrison Telescopes.. (10/10/2021) Alan Baguley - Goole
Great quality and very sturdy A real step up in quality and sturdiness from my old cg4 mount handles my 7.9 kg 5 inch refractor easily . No more wobble when focusing and surprisingly easy to move about i thought it would be heavier. I would recommend this mount. . (08/08/2021) Morgan - Lancaster
Excellent value for money and a great company. This mount and tripod is solid and stable and is amazingly portable considering it's weight bearing capacity. I am looking forward to attaching the Evostar 150 Refractor to this when I get it and I can't wait to do the GOTO upgrade. Harrison's have a great deal and great service on this.

Does what it says Not a lot to say really, this is a big, solid, well engineered telescope mount which easily handles the 120mm refractor I use it with. Assembly was simple and the mount is relatively easy to carry into the garden. Would suggest as a next step after beginner telescope packages. (06/07/2018) Matt - Wales
