Solid price. I was able to get this for $250 over Black Friday with the urlhasbeenblocked 20% off ANYTHING coupon, but for a regular sale this is solid.

My experience has been that it works well if you don't jolt around your scope too much (which you shouldn't anyway), but I have to lug my scope up a set of stairs and through two doorways, and this sticks out a lot, so it has been bumped, and then the calibration is all wrong. I also can't get the auto-calibration to work at all, as it does 3-4 good alignments, then points straight down into the ground maxing out the negative altitude and just freaks out down there.

It's a great idea, but I haven't gotten it to work perfectly yet. I also have a Nexstar 8i Special Edition which isn't officially supported, so maybe someone with a true SE will have better luck. Great product when it works!
