Got the email this morning. ZWO AM7 Review: Impressive Power Without a Counterweight
I watched that a few hours ago. It was really funny watching his wife flipping out when he started slewing it about with a Edge 11. As with most of his reviews though, it wasn’t wrong, just a bit kind.

But he does make a lot of videos and encourages people.
