The iOptron HAE16C is a state-of-the-art portable astronomy mount that is ultra-compact and hybrid, weighing just 5.7 pounds while supporting an astounding 18 pounds of equipment on its own. Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology on the RA axis, with a traditional worm gear on the DEC, the HAE16C delivers tracking accuracy that other SWG mounts can't match. Its dual EQ/AltAz capabilities allow conversion between equatorial and alt-azimuth modes in just a matter of minutes without the added bulk of conventional dual systems. Unique features include an electronic friction brake which allows the mount to stop safely, upgradable firmware, built-in Wi-Fi, and zero position locator.
