ZWO AM3N Harmonic Drive Mount
Introducing the new ZWO AM3N Mount
What's been upgraded?
The ZWO AM3N solves a range of astrophotography hassles
Streamlined Setup, Enhanced Mount Efficiency
Strain Wave Gear for Precision Control
Integrated Type-C and DC Power Ports
Powerful Payload Capacity: 8 –13 kg
Based on ZWO's internal testing:
It is recommended to use a counterweight of ≤5 kg. When using a 5 kg counterweight, the lever arm should be installed within the range of 20 cm to 30 cm.
For counterweights of other masses, the installation position can be calculated as follows:
Assume the counterweight mass is m kg. The allowable lever arm length L is defined by:
10 N·m ≤ m × g × L ≤ 15 N·m where g = 9.8 m/s2,
which can be approximated as 10 m/s2.
For example, if a 2 kg counterweight is used, the allowable range of L is from
10 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.5 m to
15 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.75 m.
Equatorial Mode / Altazimuth Mode
Status Light Indicator
All-round 0°-90° Altitude Scale
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Connectivity
The AM3N supports Bluetooth control, allowing you to operate the mount directly from your smartphone — no Hand Controller required. Ideal for travel and field use, just bring your phone and you're ready to observe or image.
Easily Controlled with Mobile Apps
App offers an onscreen joystick, including Tonight’s Target, GOTO, Live Preview and so many great functions can all be achieved with your phones. There is no need to connect to a computer—the mount and Hand Controller connect via Wi-Fi.
The mount is compatible with ASCOM, INDI, ASIAIR, and other platforms.
Seamless ASIAIR Integration
ASIAIR can connect to the AM3N wirelessly or via cable, offering full control at your fingertips. Enjoy the ultimate astrophotography experience with the ZWO Ecosystem, where all your gear works together, flawlessly.
