Comments about JMI Telescopes Medium Size Universal Wheeley Bar:
Well packed and documented. All the bolts and screws were supplied and fitted! It works well under a Celestron CPC11 purchased as a second instrument. I can easily move it around my roll off roof observatory out of the way of my 16" and to see stuff that might be obscured by tree branches etc.
If I were designing it, I would place the wheels a little further out under the tripod legs but it is stable enough anyway.

Comments about JMI Telescopes Medium Size Universal Wheeley Bar:
Good product, but it could be much more stiff without becoming bulky or expensive by selecting another steel profile. You can clearly see some torsion and flexing when dragging over concrete.
