I've got one of these mounted on a Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. It seems to be of high quality with an aluminum (I think, but definitely not plastic) precision flex drive coupler. It also came with mounting brackets for two different equatorial mounts. The CG-2 and the CG-3. It works ok, but It's difficult to get the speed set exactly. The knob is only about 1/8" in diameter and has no scale or detents. So your only indication that you've made a change in the speed is a change in the sound of the drive running. You can do it, but it takes a lot of tinkering to get it perfect. It's fine for observing, but not smooth enough for long exposure astrophotography.

Ordered this to protect my NexStar 8SE. This case is great! The external construction is top-notch (ABS or similar plastic). The latches are very tight and seal the interior well. The internal foam padding is well made with the standard precut square foam so you can form fit it to your specific need. I wish there were templates for the different telescopes it is designed to carry either included or on the Internet, but I figured it out. The retractable handle and included wheels make it easy to haul around with little effort.
