Beauty And Beast Instrumental Cello

Wow, this beast mixes beauty, ruggedness function and form. Love the chome polish that stays cool out in the heat and keeps its finish with everyday wear and tear. And this is a C stand that's made to take abuse, not the flimsy gear that you're always worrying about something breaking without the most delicate care. Of course, solid gear does come at a cost so be aware this stand is fairly heavy and the minimum length is 4' 5. OTOH, for lighter jobs you don't need to bother sadbagging this stand. So when you need the real deal this is your baby... err weapon!

this lens is a beauty and a beast. It has helped me capture some beautiful pictures. it is a heavy beast but the glass is all worth it.

Used this in a geyser machine for a production of Beauty and the Beast. Perfect amount of fog, density, and it dissipates well, not too fast, but it also doesn't linger too long. I will buy again!

First, I really don't know where to start. I've only had this scope out a few times due to weather conditions, but it definitely doesn't disappoint! All of the specs, pros and cons are available scattered across the web, but in my novice opinion the scope truly is a Beauty in the Beast. The fit and finish; included accessories like the hard travel case on wheels (you will need the wheels), field flattener, mounting rings, diagonal and spotting scope are all typical Sky Watcher. There is no included eyepiece. I have three Sky Watcher mounts and they all perform flawlessly. All I needed to purchase was an adapter to fit my Nikons. A Canon adapter is included. The Beauty in this scope is in the optics. Stars are unbelievably bright and sharp all the way to the edge of the field thanks to the huge glass up front and the dedicated flattener. The 2 3.4 focuser is very well constructed and includes a built in lock to hold the focus solid even with my heavy DSLR Nikons. The Beast in this scope is the weight. It's a large, heavy scope and a big step up from my WO Z61. Make certain your mount can handle not only the weight, but the bulk when it slews. I added an after market D-bar and handle to the top of the mounting rings just to assist in having a firm grip on the scope while mounting and un-mounting. I have this mounted on the Sky Watcher EQ6R Pro and it handles the weight of the scope and all my add ons easily. The attached Andromeda image was taken with 4 min unguided subs in class 5 Bortle skies on a Nikon D750. The EQ6R and Esprit APO 120 combo is amazing. Secondly, I cant say enough about B&H. I have purchased 99% of all my camera and computer gear over the years from them. Recommended them to others. I have to admit, I've rarely spoken to a product adviser with the exception of my computer purchase, but their customer service is top notch in regards to pricing, returns and fast shipping. Clear skies!

Great little addition to any instrumental setting

These are a great softener for the cello and should come standard with each.

The SM57 is an instrumental mic but it still works great as an interview mic as well for videos.

It is a beast!!!

This thing is a beast.

The Beast!
