Looking good there Nick! How do you find the powerbank you are using with the mount?

Been using it now consistently over a month and a half and I prefer it over rechargeable batteries. Sure, it’s something else to carry with me and plug in as opposed to batteries, but I prefer the pack’s massive charge Vs the batteries.
I use its bigger brother for EAA to power AZ GTi in EQ mode, ASIAir Pro, EAF and camera cooler and I am very happy with that too.
