Review: More secure than the USB - I have the Sky-Watcher EQ6 R Pro. Nice mount, however, the USB connection feels somewhat loose, cable comes out extremely easy, very minimal effort. I decided I need something more secure other than duck tape. Very satisfied this this product. I was looking at other retailers but it seems EVERYONE wanted this cable therefore none were in stock. Took a chance and bought it from desertcart and couldn't be more satisfied. Worked right away with no issues and best of all; No more wondering if the wind unplugged the mount.
Review: 5☆ - Works with my eq35m pro to asiair plus and laptop

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good!
*by J***. on June 10, 2023*

I’ve had my cable for almost 1.5 years now and it’s been working great with my ASIAIR Plus and HEQ5 Pro mount. As someone who travels with my gear quite a bit, I wish the mount-side connector had one of those sleeves protecting the little disconnect lever from breaking off but so far that hasn’t been a problem.
