Sirui KS-30 Reviews

Just OK

The KS-30 quality and finish seems excellent and it functions very smoothly. As long as it is mounted on a level tripod with a relatively balanced load, it is very good. However, if mounted on a star tracker, the load on the panning mechanism is immediately off axis and the play in the panning mechanism causes a frustrating amount of droop. I don't recommend it as a companion to a star tracker.
