Bought my G811 this year and it didn't.

Pretty sure they are fitted std since early 2016. ?To all mounts. ?According to losmandy video. ?!? -- Brendan

Michael I think you and I are on the same page re: the clutch pads have nothing to do with the alt-az adjustments and any belleville washer type of mod. so any pressure on the az adjustment - spring

Hi gang, The AZ and Elevation bolts have zero to do with the clutch plates that attach the telescope and DEC axis to the worm driven plates. They are completely separate items. Once the Belleville

afaik there are no clutch pads on the alt and az adjustments. i have had my G11 for 13 years and haven't had any issues with them, nor have I heard of anything along the lines you described. i like

So, Brian, if I do that there's no risk of shortening the life of the clutch plates?

HI John Pretty much all losmandy mounts act this way afaik. It's really important to not loosen the bolts the entire way. in fact i barely loosen them and while it's a little tough to move the az

i don't have a problem with that John. i actually asked them that question directly and why don't they include it - they said it's fairly rare Brian -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Sweet, interested for sure!? GM811 is my mount.? I did replace the hex bolt on the alt adjustment lockdown with a handle that makes it easier to loosen/tighten in the dark.? I'd be open to trying a

I find it best to install a 3/8 Belleville spring washer, faced on both sides by flat stainless steel washers, on both the AZ hold down bolts. I then can release the AZ pressure adjustably while doing

Agree that it is frustrating that the washer isn't original equipment.? It's clearly a problem for all owners, right?? BTW just ordered mine. :)

I have a G811 and adjusting the azimuth while drift aligning is a bit of a pain.? First, there seems to be a lot of play in the gear when changing direction and makes it frustrating to make very fine

Tony.....this thread had moved tracks from original so I was unsure what you were asking. ?Gemini videos for battery replacement are here: https://gemini-2.com/Losmandy_Videos.php Other than search

Magnus, I just got a Gemini-1 unit with similar issue: it was going back to default values at boot up, because the backup battery was always going dead. I think it has a bad BAT54 schottky barrier

Would it be possible to get a link to the video you referred to in your reply? Thanks

Brian no I have no problem with torque. It just peeked my interest.

I've run my systems on 12v power for years... but recognize that "12v" is a bit of a colloquialism (12v power is seldom *actually* 12 volts). A fully charged lead acid battery is always delivering

(“What is the best thing to get to increase voltage to the gemini to improve the torque if you guys dont mind me asking here?”) Greg.....not sure what your asking but in relation to motor torque

The converters are a nice idea. I make these input polarity protected units for Gemini-2 (the 5.5mm DC input) and a slightly different one for Gemini-1(the DIN power input socket). I use them at home
