Might be worth the gamble given the price. I would be interested to know if anyone has bought one. The reviews and questions on the product listing don't do it any favours

"Hello, the posted products look like different products, which one is correct?"

I'm tempted to be the guinea pig. 😂

I made my own MyFocuserPro2 and that worked out a similar price to this one once I'd bought everything I needed. If this works, it's a no-brainer

Have a link?

for?

How you made your own myfocuser. Be interested in making one

scroll down here for a few posts about mine https://astro.wheep.co.uk/ The project site is https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/ and if you Google or look on Youtube there's lots of info from other people. If you're UK based, I can send you one of my circuit boards. You'll need to source everything else yourself though

as for the myfocuser, he does an ESP32 version, i have a box of wemos D1 minis (keep buying them for $2 off aliexpress LOL). I wonder if they will work

Wouldn't describe £15 cheaper as significant.

Oh sorry, I was looking at the hand controler

south cliff Apr 20, 2024, 8:11 AM

Yeh AliExpress sellers do this a lot

shrewd ocean Apr 20, 2024, 8:38 AM

Keep in mind, the price it shows is just for remote control. On desktop you click the picture of the actual kit and the price changes. I've been stung before
