Hiya, Mike -
I endorse both rotators. Yes, the Yaesu mast clamp is cast aluminum and one
has to be careful when tightening it up but it'll turn a big load for a long
time. Their reliability seems to be good.

You'll need it with the Orion. It's a good worm gear drive rotator but the
clamp has 2 fatal problems and the controller is one only the designer can love.

I'm currently trying to get some more clamps (you listening, Paul?) and not
sure when they'll pop out.
