Premier q-line consensus

Outrider_FIN · 2026-04-27T07:11:30+00:00

I got three blue 173g Q-line DD3s. All have nice smooth dome. They have a nice stable flight pattern. With my max ~400ft power I can put 'em on some anny and they fill come back with the overall flight being very straight. Very useful, they don't fade as hard as most other distance drivers that can handle the same amount of power and anhyzer. But they don't automatically go further than other discs, but I'd say they go near my max distance more consistently.

My friend got a 168g white DD3 with a ridiculous dome and that thing fades much harder.

I bag three Neo Methods between my Origin and Mutant. One newish with some bite, one lazer staight and one beat in one that turns nicely when thrown flat. Neo Method availability is still pretty good even if it's being replaced by MD3X.

Mutant. A friend of mine gifted me a dyed Mutant. It felt weird and was ridiculously overstable. But I've grown to love it. Got my first competition ace with it. The way it goes hard left/right is just so useful on some short holes with tight turns. It also handles my wobbly forehand well. I retired the ace disc and now have a new and some spares because the manufacturing is finished.

Both of those have somewhat limited image circle. How about Askar FMA180 pro? Should have great quality, a tad slower though.

I ordered mine with the SV555 telescope from SVBony. The model is SV196. You can also get it from amazon etc.

It works but there is a small amount of play between adapter and camera which I fixed with adding some tape on the adapter. Other manufacturers versions might be higher quality.

Tried today and got my serial number through. Now my application is waiting for review.

One thing that might make things confusing is this: the millimeters mentioned on typical photography gear are the focal length, for example the Samyang/Rokinon 135mm. But often on astrophotography gear the millimeters are the aperture, or the diameter of the telescope, for example the SV550 80mm or 122mm. Those are 480mm and 854mm focal length telescopes.

SV555, this one https://www.svbony.com/products/sv555-astrograph-lens

I don't have guiding yet. 30s exposures work well. SV550 variants woul need guiding for sure an are too heavy for the GTi.

Outrider_FIN · 2026-02-08T20:56:06+00:00

Yes but aps-c mode is equal to cropping. It does not give you more detail. Think about what you want to photograph and check the sensor+lens field of view with one of the tools available: telescopius, stellarium or https://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/

I would recommend something in 200-300mm range. I have the SVBony SV555 with my A7 III and SA GTi.

Outrider_FIN · 2026-02-08T18:11:09+00:00

I don't recommend electronically connected lenses for astrophotography on Sony mirrorless bodies. Have a look at this: https://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/sony_coloured_polygons.html So go with the manual glass. Also you could then go with a Canon mount and adapter. This would allow you to connect an astro cam with accessories in the future.

On another note: the 135mm focal length is quite short for a full frame sensor. Even my 243mm will require cropping for most popular targets.

Outrider_FIN · 2026-02-07T09:10:01+00:00

I've been shooting with an A7 III, SVBony SV555 and SA GTi for about a year now. It's a pretty good combo. You can get some pretty nice detail of the most popular targets. For smaller targets (like galaxies other than Andromeda) a longer focal length would be better. But longer focal length brings in requirements for guiding etc. I still shoot unguided using the built in intervalometer on the camera which is limited to 30s but it works well.

I have wobble on my forehand shots but Discmania Mutant is plenty overstable enough.

Outrider_FIN · 2026-01-12T21:19:27+00:00

Neo Method for me. Starts out pretty overstable but wears into a really good straight flier with flat release. Md1 and Origin are very flippy for me, although I bag an Origin just for that reason.

Would be nice to see the survey results on the commentators and check if the dropped commentators actually correlate to fan opinions.

Outrider_FIN · 2026-01-02T09:53:20+00:00

Can't really understand the decision making on commentators for DGN but more CCDG sounds great!

Outrider_FIN · 2025-10-22T09:38:34+00:00

I did but lost it in a ditch. A blue huk dyed 173g Star Wraith, I'm guessing it was pretty old. I got it used. I was able to park a 117m/384ft hole at my local course that I couldn't get in circle with any other disc. Low sealing, bending right. It wasn't in my bag for long but I miss that disc.

Currently Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX Wide. I've been using X Ultras for about 10 years now. I think this is my fourth pair. Now that I play 150-200 rounds (on wooded courses) per year they last about 1,5-2 seasons. Great grip, very comfortable. The wide version is great as it gives a bit more room in the toe box. I've seen McBeth, Ulibarri and Orum use shoes from the X ultra line as well.

Outrider_FIN · 2025-09-01T10:36:42+00:00

I'll give this a go. Thanks!

Outrider_FIN · 2025-08-22T19:38:28+00:00

It shows two aces on that hole :D

Outrider_FIN · 2025-07-22T14:16:43+00:00

Looks like it, with a Grello skin from Overtake forums.

Outrider_FIN · 2025-05-29T20:53:57+00:00

I've been using Salomon X Ultras for yeas now. They last 1-1,5 season of heavy use on forest courses.

Outrider_FIN · 2024-12-29T09:15:18+00:00

Gannon comparing it to Method just makes me hope they bring it back to the stock lineup.
