## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 安定のガイドカメラ
*by G***K on 2 December 2023*

ASIAIRでガイドに使うのに最適なカメラと思います。カメラの性能を引き出すのにはそれなりのガイドスコープを用意するほうが結果的に良いガイド精度になる感じがします。Evoguide 50EDで使用中。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised.
*by J***B on 4 December 2021*

Quick delivery, good quality and small guider.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pequeña pero util
*by J***N on 9 September 2023*

Es bastante ligera, por lo que va perfecta con un setup ligero, como la Sky Watcher Star Adventurer que solo soporta hasta 5kg. El guiado es muy preciso incluso en condiciones difíciles (a veces tomó fotografías en la azotea de un edificio que vibra ligeramente con El Paso de camiones, pero el guiado se mantiene dentro de lo aceptable). Excelente para equipo inicial-intermedio.
