ZWO AM3 Harmonic Equatorial Mount - GoTo Travel Mount with Carbon Tripod TC40
The traditional equatorial mount requires heavy counterweights. It can be very difficult to keep balance in RA and DEC directions, and also inconvenient for transit and storage, which brings amateur astrophotographers a lot of pain when they are out for imaging.

Some of the strain wave geared drive mounts are relatively simple in functions, insufficient in load capacity, and also not very stable in use.

To solve the above issues, ZWO developed the ASI Mount series. No need for a counterweight. With a self-weight of 3.9 kg, AM3 has a large load capacity from 8 kg to 13 kg. While portability is very important, stability is also essential in use. Instead of blindly pursuing the lightweight of the mount body, ZWO is more so along the lines of stability for an entire use. The internal structure of the body is optimized with the strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt, bringing more accurate control and an amazing reduction ratio of 300:1. It is also multi-functional that can be used as both an equatorial mount or an altazimuth mount. You can either control the mount via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or a hand controller.


Portable and stable
The internal structure of the body is optimized with the strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt, bringing more accurate control and an amazing reduction ratio of 300:1.

Customized Strain Wave Gear

ZWO developed the special strain wave gear based on the actual needs for astrophotography. It comes with very low periodic error and high torque. Each mount is tested and equipped with an exclusive PE curve before it leaves the factory so that the quality can be guaranteed.

3.9 kg Net Weight

Instead of blindly pursuing the lightweight of the mount body, ZWO is more so along the lines of stability for an entire use.

8 kg - 13 kg Payload

The load capacity of AM3 without the counterweight is 8 kg, and 13 kg with the counterweight.
Supported counterweight: ?5 kg
The counterweight should be secured on a counterweight bar of no more than 25 cm in length.



Versatile
Equatorial Mode / Altazimuth Mode

"Sehr präzise arbeitende Montierung die mit allen Komponenten von ZWO gut abgestimmt ist."

Written by Johann Spuling

"Ja, eine abschließende Bewertung kann ich erst abgeben, wenn ich die Montierung im Echtbetrieb ausprobiert und getestet habe. Erst einmal bleibt nur der erste Eindruck, welcher sehr überzeugend ausgefallen ist. Damit meine ich die Verarbeitung und den improvisierten Probelauf. -mfg- J. Spuling "
