Ellie ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about Bluetooth latency for guiding, but this adapter pairs instantly with my HEQ5 and holds a solid connection through the whole session. Setup was straightforward with no extra cables cluttering the tripod.

Michael L. ★★★★★

Finally got my mount talking to the PC without a serial cable—the pairing was straightforward and the connection stays solid through a whole imaging session. No more tripping over wires in the dark.

Hazel A. ★★★★★

Finally, no more fiddling with serial cables—this little adapter paired instantly with my laptop and lets me control my HEQ5 wirelessly from across the room. The Bluetooth connection has been rock-solid during three imaging sessions so far.
