• Product Overview

The Do-It-Yourself HyperTune^TM Kit, allows you to service and upgrade your CGEM mount yourself.
We have collected all of the parts and tools necessary for you to perform a similar upgrade service as performed in the HyperTune^TM Standard service. Plan on the entire process taking at least 2 to 3 hours, so be prepared to work for a little while.

While you watch the step by step video, we point out common repairs that have to be done, and adjustments that will help your CGEM mount reach its peak performance. When you are finished, you will have a smooth working mount that will provide you with wonderful, less stressful, nights of enjoying the night-time skies.

In addition, you will have a complete set of tools left over for later use.
