HAE16C Dual AZ/EQ SWG Hybrid Mount

Description

Introducing
the iOptron AZ/EQ dual SWG mount HAE16C! This light weight, compact, mini titan
will deliver a portable astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount
head weighing just 5.7 lbs with a payload capability 18lbs, without needing a
cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating compact
precision mounts with unheard of payload to weight ratios, led to the HAE16C becoming the choice for astronomers on
the go. Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology on the RA movement
with a traditional worm gear on the dec the HAE16C delivers tracking accuracy
that other dual SWG mounts can match.

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 include an
electronic friction brake allows the mount to stop safely, upgradable firmware,
built-in Wi-Fi, and zero position locator.
The stationary power and USB inputs go a long way in avoiding tangled
cables and wires.

An HAE16 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, an App like Sky
Safari or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
