[QUOTE="blademedia, post: 998581, member: 409057"] Thanks Thanks, yes the small steps are very small even on a cheap positioner, the rc 2000 will really come into its own on the weak signals, no play in anything I put all me weight on it and no backlash and moved me no problem, I estimate 4 mins 70 e/w, will pull the stops out of motor and check later in the week, Time will tell if the motor will pull the dish from the extreme's of the arc, that's the only thing that might let the build down, I've already located bigger stronger motors just in case ones needed :), will be making the mount perfectly balanced pointing south to make it as smooth as possible, I really need to get on with the base tbh mount no good with out it Another small video I did yesterday [URL="http://sendvid.com/voi1bdx0"]MVI 3185[/URL] [/QUOTE]
