The CG4 ones are not the best, no clutches, funky mounting in my opinion.

EQ -3 and will rotate the mount at the wrong speed and either track slightly slow or to fast.

The mounts have a different tooth count on the gearing so you need to use the proper motor to get the correct speed.

The Skywatcher EQ-3/2 is the same as a CG-4 and is not either a 2 or 3 if you are misunderstanding.
