I am a Yaesu rotator user, about four months (G-1000DXA). Previously had a
Tailtwister. I'm turning a four element Cubex quad with it and it has worked
perfectly. I especially like not having to shake loose the brake every d**m
time I use it, like I did the Tailtwister. That was so annoying! I also like
the preset knob - use it all the time. One thing that could be improved is the
speed ramp up/down feature. It works great, but it only functions when using
the preset knob. Using the manual rotation lever, it doesn't ramp. Just goes
to max immediately. Not a big deal, but something that the designers
overlooked, apparently. All in all, a great rotator.
