AM5 Mount with Carbon Tripod

The ZWO AM5 features cutting-edge strain wave gears for precise tracking in a lightweight package, with strain wave gears that can operate without counterweights when carrying payloads up to 33 lbs (15 kg). The mount head weighs just 12 lbs (5.5 kg), making it ideal for transporting to favorite dark sky sites, and features zero backlash and a periodic error of less than ±10 arcseconds. The mount operates with a 0-90 degree latitude range, allowing use in both equatorial and alt-azimuth modes, making it versatile for both deep-sky astrophotography and visual observation.
