This lightweight, compact, medium-payload titan will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at less than 9 kg with a payload capability of 31 kg, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE69 makes this vision possible.

Utilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAE69 delivers unparalleled weight-to-payload efficiency. Its black anodized, all-metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye but provides a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. A unique electronic friction brake allows the mount to stop safely during a planned or unplanned power interruption.

The HAE69C dual SWG Alt-az/Eq mount now includes an internal main board and no longer requires a handset. The mount has USB ports on both the base and the saddle that connect directly to the main board for mount control and firmware upgrades. It also features built-in Wi-Fi for easy connection. The optional 8411 Go2Nova® handset with OLED display provides an improved user experience, especially at extreme temperatures.

Introducing the new members of iOptron strain wave gear mount family - AZ/EQ dual mount HAE29 and HAE29EC! These light weight, high payload little titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 8 lbs with a payload capability 29.7lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE29 brings this vision to reality.

Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology for the both RA and DEC movement, the HAE29s 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 brake and power down memory allow the mount 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).

An HAE29 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for a MacOS software; a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an App like SkySafari; or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.

The HAE29EC features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image “sans” guiding.

Features

• Advanced strain wave gear system technology
• Payload capacity of 13.5 kg (29.7 lbs) with the mount weight of 3.7 kg (8.15 lbs, include dovetail saddle)
• CNC machined
• Unique friction brake on both RA and DEC to safely stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption
• 360 second gear period
• High precision encoder with realtime PEC (RPEC)
• Go2Nova® hand controller with ~212,000 object database
• iPolar electronic polar scope for easy and accurate polar alignment
• Customer cable management system ready
• Dual saddle (Vixen and Losmandy-D styles)
• Built in zero position search and locator
• Power down position and location memory
• Integrated ST-4 autoguiding port
• Built-in Wi-Fi (via hand controller)
• USB port for firmware upgrade and computer control
• Carrying case
• Two year warranty

Specifications

* 200mm, with payload center of gravity to the RA rotation axis. Or an OTA size of ~220mm.

The HAZ 712 Alt-Az strain wave gear joins the iOptron SWG mount family!

This relatively compact heavier payload mount will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. The mount easily accommodates both a binocular and a telescope through its multiposition saddle that can be located on a "top" or a "side" configuration to best suited for the instrument selected. Set-up is so easy, just turn the mount on and it will calibrate itself and go to the first target utilizing our time-tested "Lever and Go" routine.

Utilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAZ 712 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, but it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features such as an electronic friction brake on both AZI and ALT allow the mount to safely stop.

The HAZ 712 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third-party INDI driver for a MacOS software; a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an App like SkySafari; or an iOptron iMate Astronomy Control Box and other Pi device via INDI driver.
