There are several of these available:

A Takahashi one -- could probably get through True Technology (I
haven't checked), but it will be more than £100. Probably several times
more.

BC&F do one. Also more than £100, and over-priced.

Beacon Hill do one. This is probably the one you are thinking of.

I bought the BC&F one at Astrofest and for various reasons I haven't
tested it, but I would question its being overpriced. It's a nice piece
of work.
But unless they've upgraded it, the Beacon Hill device is a bit flimsy.
