Product description

Freedom from cumbersome counterweights and shafts is here!

Introducing the HEM44 and the HEM44EC, iOptron's latest revolutionary hybrid strain wave drive mounts. These light weight, compact, medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 13.65Ibs with a payload capability 44Ibs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron's multi- decade experience creating precision mounts, the HEM44 brings this vision to reality. Utilizing state of the art strain wave drive technology for the RA movement in tandem with a light weight backlash free DEC worm/belt drive design, HEM44s deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it's a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power down memory allow the mount to safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign and start from the beginning).

The HEM44EC features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image "sans" guiding.
