Folks
Losmandy mounts have been around for decades
in the earlier days people treated the mount as a DIY thing, and customizations were not uncommon
The Mclennan gearboxes were one of those things that people liked to swap out.
Today losmandy mounts are much improved and more refined, and many (i'd say most if not all) the customizations are no longer desired. It's much more of a set-it-up-and-image mount. Scott continues to fine tune and improve the mounts. FYI he also personally tunes each mount that goes out.?
I'm a firm believer that the results speak for themselves, so if people get great results with [fill in the blank] then great. that's really what it's about.?
For anyone looking at the mclennan gearboxes, just a word of caution, it's not all candy and unicorns.
We see a lot of people quietly moving back to the original gearboxes, you don't see that much here. You are also customizing the mount which means the support you are relying on comes from peers who have done this before: it's a custom mount.?
