Full setup including mount head, extender, tripod, counterweights and apertura soft cases made specifically for the GTI. I have used this mount a dozen or so times and have had great success guiding via ASAIR.
Notes: The polar scope cover tab broke, I hear that's a common issue with these mounts. Also, I drilled a hole for direct access to adjust out backlash on worm drive. The hole has a plug that fits to keep out dust. I also moved the serial number sticker to expose the hole (made by manufacturer) to adjust the RA drive worm gear and covered it with tape to keep out dust. This saves signifcant time in adjusting out backlash which I found needed to be done every 5-6 times setting up.
Lastly, I completely stripped the mount and motors and re-lubricated the gears and re-calibrated backlash out. This has significantly improved guiding and reduced noise.
