Dear Mr. Wos, I am sure that the keypad could have been repaired for far less money than replacement costt, however it it good that you were able to solve the...
Would this work for visual purposes? The AP 10" is 33 lbs which is within the listed weight limit; but I've been told "no" by several people. Thought I'd post...
The opinion I would trust would be AP's. I think as long as the Mach1GTO is on a stable tripod or pier you won't have a problem for visual work. Would this...
