Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Stella R. ★★★★★

I was a little worried about compatibility, but the FTX30 mounted perfectly on my FeatherTouch 30 and the motor has zero play. The fine-focusing with the ThirdLynx circuit feels precise and immediate, making star acquisition much faster for astrophotography.

Hannah G. ★★★★★

Installing this motor on my FeatherTouch was straightforward, and the ThirdLynx circuit gives me reliable, precise control during imaging. The motor itself feels sturdy and operates quietly, which is exactly what I needed for my setup.

Violet ★★★★★

The ThirdLynx control circuit made connecting to my focuser software completely painless, no extra drivers or fiddling needed. Setup took maybe ten minutes and it tracked focus perfectly through a full night of imaging.
