More about the product

The MGEN-3 is here!

    The new, much stronger hardware enables the new self-learning AI multistar guiding,

Lacerta MGEN-3 Autoguider (A.I., Standalone, Remote)
Pros

Az alapbeállítások már előre programozottak, szinte csak ellenőrzésképp kellett átfutni, majd egy gombnyomással indítható a vezetés. Egyszerű, áttekinthető menü, a fényképezőgép-vezérlés indítása után szépen teszi a dolgát a programozásnak megfelelően. A bolygatás funkció óriási ötlet! Plusz garanciát és terméktámogatást is lehet hozzá vásárolni (további fejlesztések várhatók).

Cons

Sajnos az ára! Egyéb hátrányt egyenlőre nem tudok mondani.

Summary

Szerintem megéri, a pontos vezetés a fotózáshoz elengedhetetlen, ugyanakkor a cég folyamatosan fejleszt és élvonalbeli.
