CEM26 EQ Mount with iPolar, Hard Case, and 1.5" Tripod

The iOptron CEM26 is a precision-crafted, center-balanced GoTo equatorial mount designed for serious astronomers who value portability as much as performance, combining whisper-quiet tracking and intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-carry package. This bundle includes the iPolar electronic polar scope, a rugged hard case for the equatorial head, and the 1.5" tripod, making it a complete grab-and-go system for visual observers and astrophotographers alike. The center-balanced "Z" architecture positions the telescope's payload directly over the tripod for better weight distribution and natural stability, reducing strain on the mount and delivering a higher payload-to-weight ratio than traditional German equatorials. The belt-driven stepper motors and spring-loaded worm gears ensure minimal backlash and low periodic error—typically under ±10 arcseconds—with support for permanent periodic error correction (PEC).
