Don, Glad it worked out. Interested to know if you have any binding issues with all the backlash taken out. Also, I had the same issue not being able to turn the screw on the worm gear bearing block.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I just guess this is a 'feature'..... I have so much grinding noise that I am going to adjust as much of that out and see where backlash falls. Honestly, the screw at the

Regarding ra backlash Ra is always driven in one direction. Guiding does not reverse the ra it merely slows it down or speeds it up. The point is a bit of backlash in ra is not a problem in fact. Dec

Guys, All I've seen of the iExos-100 is Alex's video and a few pix, but as far as I can tell, the gear adjustment concept will be the same as the EXOS2. Yes, ring gear vs wheel gear and all that, but

Don, I have had a similar problem trying to get my iEXOS-100 RA axis adjusted. When I got my mount a couple of months ago it had a some backlash in RA so I adjusted it following the YouTube video. Aft

Yeah, I have that same issue I think. There is one spot that grinds. It'll work fine then it starts grinding again. I think I figured out that there must be some asymmetry in the large gear. Either th

Hi Jerry and Tyler: I took Doug's suggestion and looked at the comments at the end of the YT video regarding backlash adjustment I spent around 2 hours trying to find the sweet spot and I cannot. Eith

Hi Jerry: Hope you see this post. No joy. The video makes is look easy, and it should be. I loosened the 3mm and 5/64" screws to make sure the worm was seated firmly against the main RA gear, before I

Thanks a lot Wes. It's great to know ES has trust in its customers to assist them to correct known issues. For me, that is a first for mount vendors. Kudos to ES and much appreciated Off to the garage

I just received a brand new iexos 100 mount after several months on order. After assembling it and having both the RA and DEC clutches engaged, I noticed that the Dec axis has a lot of slop. When I ge

If you have a tablet this is all easy. You set your rate down to 3 or maybe 2. Then you hover your finger over an arrow and look through the eyepiece then press the button a short stab. Mount moves. C
