The advantages at a glance:
- Harmonic drive technology
- Load capacity of up to 20kg with a mount weight of only 6.2kg
- Tried-and-tested iOptron Go2Nova software with hand-held controls and a database containing 212,000 objects
- No tangled cables
- Dual Vixen & Losmandy mounting saddle
- Automatic stopping if the power supply is interrupted unexpectedly
- Exceptional tracking, even without guiding
The iOptron HEM44 mounts provide the excellent features of a “large” equatorial mount and, due to “Harmonic Drive” technology, can be used without counterweights/a counterweight shaft. Despite its low weight of only 6.2kg, it has a maximum load capacity of up to 20kg. This gives HEM mounts an exceptional weight-to-load ratio as well as having amazing features such as permanent periodic error correction (PEC), automatic mount stopping in the case of power outages with no need to repeat set-up after starting up again, precise tracking (even without guiding), internal cable management, a dual mounting rail clamp for Vixen and Losmandy rails, high-quality CNC machined and anodised materials, tried-and-tested iOptron Go2Nova 8409 software, built-in WiFi, and iOptron’s trademark exceptionally quiet drive.
