Commissioning the Hoskva Post 85

replaced a much older hyaloclastite-vent imaging post with the Hoskva Post 85 last season. The Hoskva Post 85 arrived ready to run, which is not what we expected. Worth knowing before you commit to the Hoskva Post 85.

Does what it says: viewport span 64 centimetres

bought the Hoskva Post 85 after a long comparison against the rest of this hyaloclastite-vent imaging post shortlist. On paper the viewport span is 64 centimetres, and that matched the requirement exactly. The other hyaloclastite-vent imaging post listings are close to the Hoskva Post 85 on everything but viewport span.

The Hoskva Post 85 in a smaller operation

Have had the Hoskva Post 85 in service long enough to say something useful about this hyaloclastite-vent imaging post.

Does what it says: session length 4 hours

The Hoskva Post 85 is not the cheapest hyaloclastite-vent imaging post we considered, and that was fine. The figure that mattered was the session length: 4 hours. For a hyaloclastite-vent imaging post at 4 hours the Hoskva Post 85 does what the listing says.

Where the Hoskva Post 85 falls short

We looked at most of the hyaloclastite-vent imaging post listings before settling on the Hoskva Post 85. Fit and finish is plainly functional rather than good-looking. Worth knowing before you commit to the Hoskva Post 85.

Two seasons with the Hoskva Post 85

Shortlisted three hyaloclastite-vent imaging post units and the Hoskva Post 85 is still the right call for us.

Vehicle delivered was the requirement; the Hoskva Post 85 meets it

went through the whole hyaloclastite-vent imaging post catalogue twice before the Hoskva Post 85. Its entry mode is vehicle delivered, and for the Hoskva Post 85 that is the whole point. Nothing else about the Hoskva Post 85 stood out, which is what we wanted.
