I too am a fan of Player One. I have the Uranus-C Pro and Sedna-M for guiding. I am on an INDI platform and these devices just work great.

I too own player 1 cameras, the aftermarket service I received is also second to none. It's good to hear others having similiar experiences

Very good cameras well designed mechanically and electronically. I have switched to these cameras one year ago. Their design is showing that PlayerOne engineers know our hobby, our problems and what we really need.

Can't wait to grab the Uranus c-pro as well, have compares specs and they for sure are pushing it more

Brilliant video! I've also had great customer experience 👍 Gear is brill too

The same reason I buy Altair cameras, they are UK based & if there's any issues they will get it sorted asap even if the camera is out of warranty so can't say fairer than that, another great company is Pegasus astro even though they based in Greece they get things fixed, I had a powerbox that died one night & not only did they get a courier to pick it up but it was fixed & returned free of charge & all in little over a week. If I'm honest I'm hankering after the camera with the 585 sensor & I keep getting drawn to the Player one, maybe I'll pull the trigger soon. Clear skies

I’d recommend the Ares-M or Ares-C. They have the 533 sensor. But the Uranus, with the 585 sensor, is also good.

I really haven’t looked around, but I wish the US had a major Astrophotography company

I agree. It's a wide open market.

Especially talking to the rep at HighPoint about supply constraint and the state of Astrophotography. He said after COVID things went crazy and said no signs of slowing.

This is motivating me to get a playerone 😅.

Well worth it. The Rolls Royce of prosumer cameras, IMO.

I am using an SvBony 705c (asi585) and an SvBony 405cc (asi294) and am quite happy with both.

Why do the player one main imaging cameras only have one "device" usb port? Do you find that to be an issue that degrades your cable management?

That's a good question, though I hadn't even thought about it before, so I guess it doesn't create a problem for me. I've never been a fan of piling my power management, mini PC, etc, on my OTA with the idea of "cable management". Using that strategy, I would be exchanging cable length for a lot more weight and mass on the mount that would work as a wind sail and give the mount a harder time. Instead, I braid the cables so they can't spread out and get tangled, then I strap them going up from the power supplies and mini PC to the top of the pier, which minimizes weight on the mount as well as objects that could catch night wind. I also avoid sharing USB ports because that's one of the biggest causes of hardware communication conflicts, so I don't worry too much about running equipment on shared USB ports. The only ports I allow to be shared are the low use ones that operate the power box and external SSD.
