Farpoint Telescope Accessories FP217 Editorial Review
** Farpoint Collimation Kit - 2" with Carrying Case** The Farpoint Collimation Kit has received commendable attention from users who appreciate its quality and reliability in precision collimation for telescopes. Users of fast optics, specifically those utilizing f/2.8 Newtonians, have noted substantial improvements in their collimation results compared to cheaper alternatives. The sturdy Construction of both the laser and the Cheshire eyepiece is frequently highlighted, with many users expressing confidence in the accuracy of the kit. The kit's generous assortment of tools, including a center spotting kit and overlay template, enables precise mirror alignment, especially when used under good lighting conditions and with the help of an additional pair of hands. Many customers found the accompanying online video tutorials from Farpoint to be extremely helpful in navigating the collimation process effectively. While the overall reception is largely positive, some issues have been reported concerning the laser’s on/off switch, which has intermittent contact problems leading to occasional failures to stay powered on. Moreover, customers have expressed frustration with the hands-on customer support; difficulties in reaching representatives for assistance add a layer of concern regarding after-service care. Additionally, a few users have raised alarms about receiving items that appear to have been pre-owned or less-than-perfectly new due to scratches in the battery compartment. In summary, the Farpoint Collimation Kit is recognized for its high quality and effective tools that enhance the collimation experience. For those willing to invest in a more robust system, it represents a significant upgrade over cheaper laser collimators, although some users might have reservations based on their individual experiences with product condition and customer service. **
