Hi there yes tried a couple of times.

Easy to carry if you have to move in and out as light and have choice of different tripods you can attach to.
Very stable as far as tracking and no counterweight needed.
The mount will carry a payload of up 13kg with no counterweight and up to 20kg with.
No Polar scope so you need something I have the ASIAIR plus and it's partners brilliantly.

I'm very pleased with my purchase it's a lot of money over standard EQ go to but storage and portability worth it for me.

I see Pegasus are now on the harmonic mount bandwagon, review in May Sky at Night magazine.
